Saturn's atmospheric response to the large influx of ring material inferred from Cassini INMS measurements

Julianne I. Moses, Zarah L. Brown, Tommi T. Koskinen +12

During the Grand Finale stage of the Cassini mission, organic-rich ring material was discovered to be flowing into Saturn's equatorial upper atmosphere at a surprisingly large rate…

Titan Atmospheric Chemistry Revealed by Low-temperature N2-CH4 Plasma Discharge Experiments

Chao He, Joseph Serigano, Sarah M. Horst +2

Chemistry in Titan's N2-CH4 atmosphere produces complex organic aerosols. The chemical processes and the resulting organic compounds are still far from understood, although extensi…

Energy deposition in Saturn's equatorial upper atmosphere

J. M. Chadney, T. T. Koskinen, X. Hu +6

We construct Saturn equatorial neutral temperature and density profiles of H, H, He, and CH, between 10 and 1 bar using measurements from Cassini's Ion Neutral Mass…

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…

Compositional Measurements of Saturn's Upper Atmosphere and Rings from Cassini INMS

J. Serigano, S. M. Hörst, C. He +4

The Cassini spacecraft's last orbits directly sampled Saturn's thermosphere and revealed a much more chemically complex environment than previously believed. Observations from the…

Spatial Variations in Titan's Atmospheric Temperature: ALMA and Cassini Comparisons from 2012 to 2015

A. E. Thelen, C. A. Nixon, N. J. Chanover +7

Submillimeter emission lines of carbon monoxide (CO) in Titan's atmosphere provide excellent probes of atmospheric temperature due to the molecule's long chemical lifetime and stab…

Abundance Measurements of Titan's Stratospheric HCN, HCN, CH, and CHCN from ALMA Observations

A. E. Thelen, C. A. Nixon, N. J. Chanover +6

Previous investigations have employed more than 100 close observations of Titan by the Cassini orbiter to elucidate connections between the production and distribution of Titan's v…

ALMA Observations of HCN and its Isotopologues on Titan

Edward M. Molter, Conor A. Nixon, Martin A. Cordiner +5

We present sub-millimeter spectra of HCN isotopologues on Titan, derived from publicly available ALMA flux calibration observations of Titan taken in early 2014. We report the dete…

Ethyl cyanide on Titan: Spectroscopic detection and mapping using ALMA

M. A. Cordiner, M. Y. Palmer, C. A. Nixon +9

We report the first spectroscopic detection of ethyl cyanide (CHCN) in Titan's atmosphere, obtained using spectrally and spatially resolved observations of multiple emissio…

ALMA measurements of the HNC and HCN distributions in Titan's atmosphere

M. A. Cordiner, C. A. Nixon, N. A. Teanby +10

We present spectrally and spatially-resolved maps of HNC and HCN emission from Titan's atmosphere, obtained using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) on 201…
