Martian zeolites as a source of atmospheric methane
Olivier Mousis, Jean-Marc Simon, Jean-Pierre Bellat +7
The origin of the martian methane is still poorly understood. A plausible explanation is that methane could have been produced either by hydrothermal alteration of basaltic crust o…
Methane clathrates in the Solar System
Olivier Mousis, Eric Chassefière, Nils G. Holm +8
We review the reservoirs of methane clathrates that may exist in the different bodies of the Solar System. Methane was formed in the interstellar medium prior to having been embedd…
A 32-70 K formation temperature range for the ice grains agglomerated by comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
S. Lectez, J. M. Simon, O. Mousis +4
Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations are used to reproduce the N/CO ratio ranging between 1.7 10 and 1.6 10 observed {\it in situ} in the Jup…
On the abundances of noble and biologically relevant gases in Lake Vostok, Antarctica
Olivier Mousis, Azzedine Lakhlifi, Sylvain Picaud +2
Motivated by the possibility of comparing theoretical predictions of Lake Vostok's composition with future in situ measurements, we investigate the composition of clathrates that a…
Removal of Titan's Atmospheric Noble Gases by their Sequestration in Surface Clathrates
Olivier Mousis, Jonathan I. Lunine, Sylvain Picaud +3
A striking feature of the atmosphere of Titan is that no heavy noble gases other than argon were detected by the Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer (GCMS) aboard the Huygens probe…
Volatile inventories in clathrate hydrates formed in the primordial nebula
O. Mousis, J. I. Lunine, S. Picaud +1
Examination of ambient thermodynamic conditions suggest that clathrate hydrates could exist in the martian permafrost, on the surface and in the interior of Titan, as well as in ot…
