Infrared Spectra and Optical Constants of Nitrile Ices Relevant to Titan's Atmosphere

Moore, Marla H.; Ferrante, Robert F.; Moore, W. James +1 more

Spectra and optical constants of nitrile ices known or suspected to be in Titan's atmosphere are presented from 2.0 to 333.3 µm (~5000-30 cm^-1). These results are relevant to the ongoing modeling of Cassini CIRS observations of Titan's winter pole. Ices studied are: HCN, hydrogen cyanide; C₂N₂, cyanogen; CH
