Abstract:<p>Titan is a dynamic world with a unique N2-CH4 atmosphere where photochemistry is actively converting nitrogen and methane into organic hydrocarbon and nitrile molecules such as C2H6, C2H2, C3H8, C6H6, HCN, etc (Horst, 2017). These simple organic molecules could also further polymerize into more complex molecules and coagulate to form the refractory aerosols that make up Titan&#8217;s opaque haze layers. Observations from ground-based telescopes and spacecrafts have shown layers of clou… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
