Impact regimes and post-formation sequestration processes: implications for the origin of heavy noble gases in terrestrial planets
Olivier Mousis, Jonathan I. Lunine, Jean-Marc Petit +5
The difference between the measured atmospheric abundances of neon, argon, krypton and xenon for Venus, the Earth and Mars is striking. Because these abundances drop by at least tw…
Variability of the methane trapping in martian subsurface clathrate hydrates
Caroline Thomas, Olivier Mousis, Sylvain Picaud +1
Recent observations have evidenced traces of methane CH4 heterogeneously distributed in the martian atmosphere. However, because the lifetime of CH4 in the atmosphere of Mars is es…
Clathration of Volatiles in the Solar Nebula and Implications for the Origin of Titan's atmosphere
Olivier Mousis, Jonathan I. Lunine, Caroline Thomas +8
We describe a scenario of Titan's formation matching the constraints imposed by its current atmospheric composition. Assuming that the abundances of all elements, including oxygen,…
A theoretical investigation into the trapping of noble gases by clathrates on Titan
Caroline Thomas, Sylvain Picaud, Olivier Mousis +1
In this paper, we use a statistical thermodynamic approach to quantify the efficiency with which clathrates on the surface of Titan trap noble gases. We consider different values o…
