Titan is the gem of the Saturnian system, an icy world laden with organics and shrouded in
an auburn haze. Due in large part to the discoveries of the Cassini-Huygens mission to the …

Scientists use the Earth as a tool for astrobiology by analyzing planetary field analogues (ie
terrestrial samples and field sites that resemble planetary bodies in our Solar System). In …

High-energy photons, electrons, and ions initiate ion–neutral chemistry in Titan's upper
atmosphere by ionizing the major neutral species (nitrogen and methane). The Ion and …

The irreversible conversion of methane into higher hydrocarbons in Titan's stratosphere
implies a surface or subsurface methane reservoir. Recent measurements from the cameras …

Titan, the largest satellite of Saturn, has a thick nitrogen/methane atmosphere with a thick
global organic haze. A laboratory analogue of Titan's haze, called tholin, was formed in an …

Recent exploration by the Cassini/Huygens mission has stimulated a great deal of interest in
Saturn's moon, Titan. One of Titan's most captivating features is the thick organic haze layer …

We introduce a new 1D coupled Radiative/Convective-Photochemical-Microphysical model
for a planetary atmosphere and apply it to Titan. The model incorporates detailed radiation …

Organic aerosols play a significant role in the properties and evolution of Titan's
atmosphere. But our knowledge of them and their physico-chemical mechanisms of …

Titan's atmosphere is unique because dissociation of N 2 and CH 4, the primary
atmospheric constituents, provides the H, C, and N atoms necessary for the synthesis of …

Aerosols in Titan's atmosphere play an important role in determining its thermal structure,,.
They also serve as sinks for organic vapours and can act as condensation nuclei for the …
