Stability of sulphur dimers S2 in cometary ices
O. Mousis, O. Ozgurel, J. I. Lunine +5
S2 has been observed for decades in comets, including comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Despite the fact that this molecule appears ubiquitous in these bodies, the nature of its sou…
Origin of molecular oxygen in Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
O. Mousis, T. Ronnet, B. Brugger +13
Molecular oxygen has been detected in the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko with abundances in the 1-10% range by the ROSINA-DFMS instrument on board the Rosetta spacecraft.…
The composition of the protosolar disk and the formation conditions for comets
K. Willacy, C. Alexander, M. Ali-Dib +12
Conditions in the protosolar nebula have left their mark in the composition of cometary volatiles, thought to be some of the most pristine material in the solar system. Cometary co…
Determination of the minimum masses of heavy elements in the envelopes of Jupiter and Saturn
Olivier Mousis, Ulysse Marboeuf, Jonathan I. Lunine +5
We calculate the minimum mass of heavy elements required in the envelopes of Jupiter and Saturn to match the observed oversolar abundances of volatiles. Because the clathration eff…
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,…
Sequestration of noble gases by H3+ in protoplanetary disks and outer solar system composition
Olivier Mousis, Francoise Pauzat, Yves Ellinger +1
We study the efficiency of the noble gases sequestration by the ion H3+ in the form of XH3+ complexes (with X = argon, krypton or xenon) in gas phase conditions similar to those en…
