An unidentified absorption feature at 5.11 m on the surface of Titan and Pluto from JWST spectroscopy
B. Bézard, E. Lellouch, M. Camarca +14
Titan possesses a thick N-CH atmosphere that makes it difficult to study its surface spectroscopically. The chemical composition of the solid surface of Titan thus remains…
Titan's Resources and their Utilization
Conor A. Nixon, Ye Lu, Jennifer Ruliffson
Saturn's moon Titan is a unique environment in the solar system. It is the only moon with an atmosphere, composed primarily of the gases N2 and CH4. It is also the only world to ha…
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…
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…
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…
ALMA Spectroscopy of Europa: A Search for Active Plumes
M. A. Cordiner, A. E. Thelen, I. -L. Lai +7
The subsurface ocean of Europa is a high priority target in the search for extraterrestrial life, but direct investigations are hindered by the presence of a thick, exterior ice sh…
