Detection of propadiene (CHCCH), propene (CH) and non-detection of propane (CH) in Jupiter's northern polar stratosphere
James A. Sinclair, Thomas K. Greathouse, Rohini S. Giles +8
We report the first detection of stratospheric propadiene (CHCCH) and propene (CH) at Jupiter's mid-to-high northern latitudes using IRTF-TEXES measurements recorde…
Equatorial Waves and Superrotation in the Stratosphere of a Titan General Circulation Model
Neil T. Lewis, Nicholas A. Lombardo, Peter L. Read +1
We investigate the characteristics of equatorial waves associated with the maintenance of superrotation in the stratosphere of a Titan general circulation model. A variety of equat…
Spitzer IRS Observations of Titan as a Precursor to JWST MIRI Observations
Brandon Park Coy, Conor A. Nixon, Naomi Rowe-Gurney +4
In this work we present, for the first time, infrared spectra of Titan from the Spitzer Space Telescope (). The data are from both the short wavelength-low resolution (S…
Detection of Propadiene on Titan
Nicholas A Lombardo, Conor A Nixon, Thomas K Greathouse +8
The atmosphere of Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, is rich in organic molecules, and it has been suggested that the moon may serve as an analog for the pre-biotic Earth due to it…
Ethane in Titan's Stratosphere from Cassini CIRS Far- and Mid-Infrared Spectra
Nicholas A Lombardo, Conor A Nixon, Melody Sylvestre +4
The Cassini Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) observed thermal emission in the far- and mid-infrared (from 10 cm to 1500 cm), enabling spatiotemporal studies of…
Impacts of Quantum Chemistry Calculations on Exoplanetary Science, Planetary Astronomy, and Astrophysics
Der-you Kao, Marko Gacesa, Renata M. Wentzcovitch +26
Several of NASA missions (TESS, JWST, WFIRST, etc.) and mission concepts (LUVOIR, HabEx, and OST) emphasize the exploration and characterization of exoplanets, and the study of the…
Spatial and Seasonal Variations in C3Hx Hydrocarbon Abundance in Titan's Stratosphere from Cassini CIRS Observations
Nicholas A Lombardo, Conor A Nixon, Richard K Achterberg +4
Of the CH hydrocarbons, propane (CH) and propyne (methylacetylene, CHCH) were first detected in Titan's atmosphere during the Voyager 1 flyby in…
