Irradiation dose affects the composition of organic refractory materials in space: Results from laboratory analogues
R. G. Urso, V. Vuitton, G. Danger +9
Context. Near- and mid-infrared observations have revealed the presence of organic refractory materials in the solar system, in cometary nuclei and on the surface of centaurs, Kuip…
Detection of CHCN in Titan's Atmosphere
A. E. Thelen, M. A. Cordiner, C. A. Nixon +6
Titan harbors a dense, organic-rich atmosphere primarily composed of N and CH, with lesser amounts of hydrocarbons and nitrogen-bearing species. As a result of high sensiti…
Heavy Positive Ion Groups in Titan's Ionosphere from Cassini Plasma Spectrometer IBS Observations
Richard P. Haythornthwaite, Andrew J. Coates, Geraint H. Jones +4
Titan's ionosphere contains a plethora of hydrocarbons and nitrile cations and anions as measured by the Ion Neutral Mass Spectrometer and Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS) onboar…
Haze Formation in Warm H2-rich Exoplanet Atmospheres
Chao He, Sarah M. Horst, Nikole K. Lewis +8
New observing capabilities coming online over the next few years will provide opportunities for characterization of exoplanet atmospheres. However, clouds/hazes could be present in…
The Science Case for a Titan Flagship-class Orbiter with Probes
Conor A. Nixon, James Abshire, Andrew Ashton +36
We outline a flagship-class mission concept focused on studying Titan as a global system, with particular emphasis on the polar regions. Investigating Titan from the unique standpo…
Chemistry of Temperate Super-Earth and Mini-Neptune Atmospheric Hazes from Laboratory Experiments
Sarah E. Moran, Sarah M. Hörst, Véronique Vuitton +12
Very little experimental work has been done to explore the properties of photochemical hazes formed in atmospheres with very different compositions or temperatures than that of the…
