A missing link in the nitrogen-rich organic chain on Titan
N. Carrasco, J. Bourgalais, L. Vettier +3
Context. The chemical building blocks of life contain a large proportion of nitrogen, an essential element. Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, with its dense atmosphere of molecula…
Ariel: Enabling planetary science across light-years
Giovanna Tinetti, Paul Eccleston, Carole Haswell +313
Ariel, the Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large-survey, was adopted as the fourth medium-class mission in ESA's Cosmic Vision programme to be launched in 2029. Durin…
A new instrument for kinetics and branching ratio studies of gas phase collisional processes at very low temperatures
Olivier Durif, Michael Capron, Joey P. Messinger +13
A new instrument dedicated to the kinetic study of low-temperature gas phase neutral-neutral reactions, including clustering processes, is presented. It combines a supersonic flow…
Ions in the Thermosphere of Exoplanets: Observable Constraints Revealed by Innovative Laboratory Experiments
Jérémy Bourgalais, Nathalie Carrasco, Quentin Changeat +7
With the upcoming launch of space telescopes dedicated to the study of exoplanets, the \textit{Atmospheric Remote-Sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large-survey} (ARIEL) and the \textit{J…
Low Pressure EUV Photochemical Experiments: Insight on the Ion-Chemistry Occurring in Titan's Atmosphere
Jérémy Bourgalais, Nathalie Carraso, Ludovic Vettier +1
Thanks to the \textit{Cassini} spacecraft onboard instruments, it has been known that Titan's ionospheric chemistry is complex and the molecular growth is initiated through the pho…
Chemistry under EUV Irradiation of H-CO-N Gas Mixtures: Implications for Photochemistry in the Outer CSE of Evolved Stars
Jérémy Bourgalais, David V. Bekaert, Aurore Bacmann +2
{CircumStellar Envelopes (CSEs) of stars are complex chemical objects for which theoretical models encounter difficulties in elaborating a comprehensive overview of the occurring c…
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…
Nitrogen-containing Anions and Tholin Growth in Titan's Ionosphere: Implications for Cassini CAPS-ELS Observations
David Dubois, Nathalie Carrasco, Jérémy Bourgalais +4
The Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS) Electron Spectrometer (ELS) instrument onboard Cassini revealed an unexpected abundance of negative ions above 950 km in Titan's ionosphere.…
The C(3P) + NH3 reaction in interstellar chemistry: I. Investigation of the product formation channels
Jeremy Bourgalais, Michael Capron, Ranjith Kumar Abhinavam Kailasanathan +6
The product formation channels of ground state carbon atoms, C(3P), reacting with ammonia, NH3, have been investigated using two complementary experiments and electronic structure…
The C(3P) + NH3 reaction in interstellar chemistry: II. Low temperature rate constants and modeling of NH, NH2 and NH3 abundances in dense interstellar clouds
Kevin M. Hickson, Jean-Christophe Loison, Jérémy Bourgalais +4
A continuous supersonic flow reactor has been used to measure rate constants for the C + NH3 reaction over the temperature range 50 to 296 K. C atoms were created by the pulsed las…
