Using SOFIA's EXES to search for CH and CN in Titan's atmosphere
Zachary C. McQueen, Conor A. Nixon, Curtis de Witt +7
In Titan's atmosphere, the chemistry of small hydrocarbons and nitriles represent an important link from molecular species to the ubiquitous organic haze that gives Titan its chara…
High-temperature measurements of acetylene VUV absorption cross sections and application to warm exoplanet atmospheres
Benjamin Fleury, Mathilde Poveda, Yves Benilan +9
Most observed exoplanets have high equilibrium temperatures. Understanding the chemistry of their atmospheres and interpreting their observations requires the use of chemical kinet…
The D/H ratio in Titan's acetylene from high spectral resolution IRTF/TEXES observations
B. Bézard, C. A. Nixon, S. Vinatier +5
We report observations of deuterated acetylene (CHD) at 19.3 m (519 cm) with the Texas Echelon Cross Echelle Spectrograph on the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility in J…
The Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit: a consolidated design for the system requirement review of the preliminary definition phase
Didier Barret, Vincent Albouys, Jan-Willem den Herder +296
The Athena X-ray Integral Unit (X-IFU) is the high resolution X-ray spectrometer, studied since 2015 for flying in the mid-30s on the Athena space X-ray Observatory, a versatile ob…
Science goals and new mission concepts for future exploration of Titan's atmosphere geology and habitability: Titan POlar Scout/orbitEr and In situ lake lander and DrONe explorer (POSEIDON)
Sébastien Rodriguez, Sandrine Vinatier, Daniel Cordier +61
In response to ESA Voyage 2050 announcement of opportunity, we propose an ambitious L-class mission to explore one of the most exciting bodies in the Solar System, Saturn largest m…
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…
