Observations of Titan's Stratosphere During Northern Summer: Temperatures, CH3CN and CH3D Abundances
Alexander E. Thelen, Conor A. Nixon, Martin A. Cordiner +11
Titan's atmospheric composition and dynamical state have previously been studied over numerous epochs by both ground- and space-based facilities. However, stratospheric measurement…
Phosphine in the Venusian Atmosphere: A Strict Upper Limit from SOFIA GREAT Observations
M. A. Cordiner, G. L. Villanueva, H. Wiesemeyer +13
The presence of phosphine (PH) in the atmosphere of Venus was reported by Greaves et al. (2021a), based on observations of the J=1-0 transition at 267 GHz using ground-based, m…
Detection of Dynamical Instability in Titan's Thermospheric Jet
M. A. Cordiner, E. Garcia-Berrios, R. G. Cosentino +5
Similar to Earth, Saturn's largest moon, Titan, possesses a system of high-altitude zonal winds (or jets) that encircle the globe. Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter…
Titan: Earth-like on the Outside, Ocean World on the Inside
Shannon M. MacKenzie, Samuel P. D. Birch, Sarah Horst +30
Thanks to the Cassini-Huygens mission, Titan, the pale orange dot of Pioneer and Voyager encounters has been revealed to be a dynamic, hydrologically-shaped, organic-rich ocean wor…
Detection of Cyclopropenylidene on Titan with ALMA
Conor A. Nixon, Alexander E. Thelen, Martin A. Cordiner +7
We report the first detection on Titan of the small cyclic molecule cyclopropenylidene (c-C3H2) from high sensitivity spectroscopic observations made with the Atacama Large Millime…
Detection of CHCN in Titan's Atmosphere
A. E. Thelen, M. A. Cordiner, C. A. Nixon +6
Titan harbors a dense, organic-rich atmosphere primarily composed of N and CH, with lesser amounts of hydrocarbons and nitrogen-bearing species. As a result of high sensiti…
