The Cassini spacecraft's last orbits directly sampled Saturn's thermosphere and revealed a much more chemically complex environment than previously believed. Observations from the…
Positive Ion Chemistry in an N-CH Plasma Discharge: Key Precursors to the Growth of Titan Tholins
David Dubois, Nathalie Carrasco, Lora Jovanovic +3
Titan is unique in the solar system as it hosts a dense atmosphere mainly made of N and CH. Cassini-Huygens revealed the presence of an intense atmospheric photochemistry i…
An EUV Non-Linear Optics Based Approach to Study the Photochemical Processes of Titanś Atmosphere
Jérémy Bourgalais, Nathalie Carrasco, Ludovic Vettier +6
In situ exploration of the planetary atmospheres requires the development of laboratory experiments to understand the molecular growth pathways initiated by photochemistry in the u…
Structural study of analogues of Titan s haze by trapped ion mobility coupled with a Fourier transform ion cyclotron mass spectrometer
Christopher P. Rueger, Julien Maillard, Johann Le Maitre +8
The aerosols present in the atmosphere of the Saturn s moon Titan are of particular planetary science interest and several spacecraft missions already allowed to gather spectroscop…
Detection opportunity for aromatic signature in Titan s aerosols in the 4.1 to 5.3 micron range
Christophe Mathé, Thomas Gautier, Melissa G. Trainer +1
The Cassini/Huygens mission provided new insights on the chemistry of the upper atmosphere of Titan. The presence of large molecules and ions (>100 s of amu) detected by Cassini at…
Comparison of soluble and insoluble organic matter in analogues of Titan s aerosols
Julien Maillard, Nathalie Carrasco, Isabelle Schmitz-Afonso +2
Titan, the biggest moon of Saturn, has a thick atmosphere which presents similarities with the one thought to be on Earth at its beginning. The study of Titan s photochemical haze…
Titan organic aerosols: molecular composition and structure of laboratory analogues inferred from systematic pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry analysis
Marietta Morissona, Cyril Szopa, Nathalie Carrasco +2
Numerous studies have been carried out to characterize the chemical composition of laboratory analogues of Titan aerosols (tholins), but their molecular composition as well as thei…
Molecular Isomer Identification of Titan Tholins Organic Aerosols by Photoelectron/Photoion Coincidence Spectroscopy Coupled to VUV Synchrotron Radiation
Barbara Cunha-de-Miranda, Gustavo Garcia, François Gaie-Levrel +6
The chemical composition of Titan organic haze is poorly known. To address this issue, laboratory analogs named tholins are synthesized, and analyzed by methods requiring often an…
