Temporal Variability of Titan's Middle-Atmospheric Zonal Winds from Southern Fall to Late Winter (2016-2023)

Martin A. Cordiner, Yuan Lian, Juan M. Lora +10

Previous ALMA observations have revealed unexpectedly strong and rapid variations in Titan's high-altitude equatorial zonal winds, which present a challenge to our understanding of…

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)…

Improved Carbon and Nitrogen Isotopic Ratios for CHCN in Titan's Atmosphere Using ALMA

J. Nosowitz, M. A. Cordiner, C. A. Nixon +6

Titan, Saturn's largest satellite, maintains an atmosphere composed primarily of nitrogen (N) and methane (CH) that leads to a complex organic chemistry. Some of the nitril…

Measurements of Titan's Stratospheric Winds during the 2009 Equinox with the eSMA

Siobhan Light, Mark Gurwell, Alexander Thelen +2

Saturn's moon Titan possesses stratospheric zonal winds that places it among a sparse class of planetary bodies known to have superrotation in their atmospheres. Few measurements h…

Mapping Vinyl Cyanide and Other Nitriles in Titan's Atmosphere Using ALMA

J. C. -Y. Lai, M. A. Cordiner, C. A. Nixon +9

Vinyl cyanide (CHCN) is theorized to form in Titan's atmosphere via high-altitude photochemistry and is of interest regarding the astrobiology of cold planetary surfaces du…
