Titan: Earth-like on the Outside, Ocean World on the Inside
Shannon M. MacKenzie, Samuel P. D. Birch, Sarah Horst +30
Thanks to the Cassini-Huygens mission, Titan, the pale orange dot of Pioneer and Voyager encounters has been revealed to be a dynamic, hydrologically-shaped, organic-rich ocean wor…
Detection of CHCN in Titan's Atmosphere
A. E. Thelen, M. A. Cordiner, C. A. Nixon +6
Titan harbors a dense, organic-rich atmosphere primarily composed of N and CH, with lesser amounts of hydrocarbons and nitrogen-bearing species. As a result of high sensiti…
CO, Water, and Possible Methanol in Eta Carinae Approaching Periastron
Patrick W. Morris, Steven B. Charnley, Michael Corcoran +12
In circumstellar gas, the complex organic molecule methanol has been found almost exclusively around young stellar objects, and is thus regarded as a signpost of recent star format…
ALMA Autocorrelation Spectroscopy of Comets: The HCN/H^13CN ratio in C/2012 S1 (ISON)
M. A. Cordiner, M. Y. Palmer, M. de Val-Borro +11
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) is a powerful tool for high-resolution mapping of comets, but the main interferometer (comprised of 50x12-m antennas) is ins…
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…
Ethyl cyanide on Titan: Spectroscopic detection and mapping using ALMA
M. A. Cordiner, M. Y. Palmer, C. A. Nixon +9
We report the first spectroscopic detection of ethyl cyanide (CHCN) in Titan's atmosphere, obtained using spectrally and spatially resolved observations of multiple emissio…
