The D/H ratio in Titan's acetylene from high spectral resolution IRTF/TEXES observations
B. Bézard, C. A. Nixon, S. Vinatier +5
We report observations of deuterated acetylene (CHD) at 19.3 m (519 cm) with the Texas Echelon Cross Echelle Spectrograph on the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility in J…
Variability in Titan's Mesospheric HCN and Temperature Structure as Observed by ALMA
A. E. Thelen, C. A. Nixon, R. Cosentino +5
The temperature structure of Titan's upper atmosphere exhibits large variability resulting from numerous spatially and temporally irregular external energy sources, seasonal change…
Spitzer IRS Observations of Titan as a Precursor to JWST MIRI Observations
Brandon Park Coy, Conor A. Nixon, Naomi Rowe-Gurney +4
In this work we present, for the first time, infrared spectra of Titan from the Spitzer Space Telescope (). The data are from both the short wavelength-low resolution (S…
Science goals and new mission concepts for future exploration of Titan's atmosphere geology and habitability: Titan POlar Scout/orbitEr and In situ lake lander and DrONe explorer (POSEIDON)
Sébastien Rodriguez, Sandrine Vinatier, Daniel Cordier +61
In response to ESA Voyage 2050 announcement of opportunity, we propose an ambitious L-class mission to explore one of the most exciting bodies in the Solar System, Saturn largest m…
Titan: Earth-like on the Outside, Ocean World on the Inside
Shannon M. MacKenzie, Samuel P. D. Birch, Sarah Horst +30
Thanks to the Cassini-Huygens mission, Titan, the pale orange dot of Pioneer and Voyager encounters has been revealed to be a dynamic, hydrologically-shaped, organic-rich ocean wor…
Detection of Cyclopropenylidene on Titan with ALMA
Conor A. Nixon, Alexander E. Thelen, Martin A. Cordiner +7
We report the first detection on Titan of the small cyclic molecule cyclopropenylidene (c-C3H2) from high sensitivity spectroscopic observations made with the Atacama Large Millime…
