Seasonal Variability of Pluto's Haze Formation Revealed by Laboratory Simulations

Zhengbo Yang, Chao He, Yu Liu +9

Pluto possesses a thin atmosphere primarily composed of N2, with minor constituents including CO and CH4. Photochemical processes generate distinct haze layers as observed by the N…

Influence of CO versus CH on organic haze formation in atmospheres of diverse terrestrial exoplanets

Sai Wang, Zhengbo Yang, Haixin Li +9

Context. Terrestrial exoplanets are expected to host secondary, high-metallicity atmospheres derived from outgassing of volatiles such as N2, CO2, H2O, CH4, and CO. Photochemical o…

Formation of organic hazes in CO-rich sub-Neptune atmospheres within the graphite-stability regime

Sai Wang, Zhengbo Yang, Chao He +10

Super-Earths and sub-Neptunes are the most common exoplanets, with a "radius valley" suggesting that super-Earths may form by shedding sub-Neptunes' gaseous envelopes. Exoplanets t…

Identification of Ammonium Salts on Comet 67P/C-G Surface from Infrared VIRTIS/Rosetta Data Based on Laboratory Experiments. Implications and Perspectives

Olivier Poch, Istiqomah Istiqomah, Eric Quirico +29

The nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko exhibits a broad spectral reflectance feature around 3.2 m, which is omnipresent in all spectra of the surface, and whose attribut…

Triton Haze Analogues: the Role of Carbon Monoxide in Haze Formation

Sarah E. Moran, Sarah M. Hörst, Chao He +7

Triton is the largest moon of the Neptune system and possesses a thin nitrogen atmosphere with trace amounts of carbon monoxide and methane, making it of similar composition to tha…

Aqueous Alteration on Asteroids Simplifies Soluble Organic Matter Mixtures

Junko Isa, François-régis Orthous-Daunay, Pierre Beck +3

Biologically relevant abiotic extraterrestrial soluble organic matter (SOM) has been widely investigated to study the origin of life and the chemical evolution of protoplanetary di…

Irradiation dose affects the composition of organic refractory materials in space: Results from laboratory analogues

R. G. Urso, V. Vuitton, G. Danger +9

Context. Near- and mid-infrared observations have revealed the presence of organic refractory materials in the solar system, in cometary nuclei and on the surface of centaurs, Kuip…

Chemistry of Temperate Super-Earth and Mini-Neptune Atmospheric Hazes from Laboratory Experiments

Sarah E. Moran, Sarah M. Hörst, Véronique Vuitton +12

Very little experimental work has been done to explore the properties of photochemical hazes formed in atmospheres with very different compositions or temperatures than that of the…

Ammonium salts are a reservoir of nitrogen on a cometary nucleus and possibly on some asteroids

O. Poch, I. Istiqomah, E. Quirico +29

The measured nitrogen-to-carbon ratio in comets is lower than for the Sun, a discrepancy which could be alleviated if there is an unknown reservoir of nitrogen in comets. The nucle…

Identification of organic molecules with a laboratory prototype based on the Laser Ablation-CosmOrbitrap

L. Selliez, C. Briois, N. Carrasco +18

In the Solar System, extra-terrestrial organic molecules have been found on cometary primitive objects, on Titan and Enceladus icy moons and on Mars. Identification could be achiev…
