Outbursts Upon Cooling of Low-Temperature Binary Mixtures: Experiments and Their Planetary Implications
S. M. Raposa, A. E. Engle, S. P. Tan +7
For many binary mixtures, the three-phase solid-liquid-vapor equilibrium curve has intermediate pressures that are higher than the pressure at the two pure triple points. This curv…
The Equilibrium Vapor Pressures of Ammonia and Oxygen Ices at Outer Solar System Temperatures
B. P. Blakley, Will M. Grundy, Jordan K. Steckloff +8
Few laboratory studies have investigated the vapor pressures of the volatiles that may be present as ices in the outer solar system; even fewer studies have investigated these spec…
Laboratory Measurement of Volatile Ice Vapor Pressures with a Quartz Crystal Microbalance
W. M. Grundy, S. C. Tegler, J. K. Steckloff +12
Nitrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane are key materials in the far outer Solar System where their high volatility enables them to sublimate, potentially driving activity at very l…
Phase Diagram for the Methane-Ethane System and its Implications for Titan's Lakes
Anna E. Engle, Jennifer Hanley, Shyanne Dustrud +4
On Titan, methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6) are the dominant species found in the lakes and seas. In this study, we have combined laboratory work and modeling to refine the methane-e…
Stratification Dynamics of Titan's Lakes via Methane Evaporation
Jordan K. Steckloff, Jason M. Soderblom, Kendra K. Farnsworth +8
Saturn's moon Titan is the only extraterrestrial body known to host stable lakes and a hydrological cycle. Titan's lakes predominantly contain liquid methane, ethane, and nitrogen,…
A New Two-Molecule Combination Band as Diagnostic of Carbon Monoxide Diluted in Nitrogen Ice On Triton
S. C. Tegler, T. D. Stufflebeam, W. M. Grundy +11
A combination band due to a mechanism whereby a photon excites two or more vibrational modes ({\it e.g.} a bend and a stretch) of an individual molecule is commonly seen in laborat…
