Can laboratory tholins mimic the chemistry producing Titan's aerosols? A review in light of ACP experimental results
Poch, O.; Szopa, C.; Coll, P. +7 more
The first results obtained by the ACP experiment onboard Huygens probe revealed that the main products obtained after thermolysis of Titan's collected aerosols, were ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen cyanide (HCN). Titan's aerosols, and their laboratory analogues named tholins, have been the subject of experimental or theoretical studies durin…
A model of variability in Titan's atmospheric structure
Flasar, F. M.; Waite, J. H.; Lorenz, R. +2 more
Titan's atmosphere has been extensively studied during the Cassini-Huygens Mission. The polar environment undergoes considerable seasonal variation and is distinct from the more quiescent equatorial environment experienced by the Huygens probe in 2005. The thermal structure of the upper atmosphere is affected by interaction of Titan's atmosphere w…
