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…
Variability of the methane trapping in martian subsurface clathrate hydrates
Caroline Thomas, Olivier Mousis, Sylvain Picaud +1
Recent observations have evidenced traces of methane CH4 heterogeneously distributed in the martian atmosphere. However, because the lifetime of CH4 in the atmosphere of Mars is es…
Photochemical enrichment of deuterium in Titan's atmosphere: new insights from Cassini-Huygens
D. Cordier, O. Mousis, I. J. Lunine +2
Cassini-Huygens data are used to re-examine the potential sources of the D/H enhancement over solar, measured in methane, in Titan's atmosphere. Assuming that the system is closed…
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,…
Constraints from deuterium on the formation of icy bodies in the Jovian system and beyond
Jonathan Horner, Olivier Mousis, Yann Alibert +2
We consider the role of deuterium as a potential marker of location and ambient conditions during the formation of small bodies in our Solar system. We concentrate in particular on…
Composition of Ices in Low-Mass Extrasolar Planets
Ulysse Marboeuf, Olivier Mousis, David Ehrenreich +4
We study the formation conditions of icy planetesimals in protoplanetary disks in order to determine the composition of ices in small and cold extrasolar planets. Assuming that ice…
