The Atmosphere of Titan in Late Northern Summer from JWST and Keck Observations
Conor A. Nixon, Bruno Bézard, Thomas Cornet +42
Saturn's moon Titan undergoes a long annual cycle of 29.45 Earth years. Titan's northern winter and spring were investigated in detail by the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft (2004-2017)…
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…
Spatial Variations in Titan's Atmospheric Temperature: ALMA and Cassini Comparisons from 2012 to 2015
A. E. Thelen, C. A. Nixon, N. J. Chanover +7
Submillimeter emission lines of carbon monoxide (CO) in Titan's atmosphere provide excellent probes of atmospheric temperature due to the molecule's long chemical lifetime and stab…
Spatial and Seasonal Variations in C3Hx Hydrocarbon Abundance in Titan's Stratosphere from Cassini CIRS Observations
Nicholas A Lombardo, Conor A Nixon, Richard K Achterberg +4
Of the CH hydrocarbons, propane (CH) and propyne (methylacetylene, CHCH) were first detected in Titan's atmosphere during the Voyager 1 flyby in…
A Hexagon in Saturn's Northern Stratosphere Surrounding the Emerging Summertime Polar Vortex
L. N. Fletcher, G. S. Orton, J. A. Sinclair +13
Saturn's polar stratosphere exhibits the seasonal growth and dissipation of broad, warm, vortices poleward of latitude, which are strongest in the summer and absent…
