Unlike the Earth, which has a small orbital eccentricity, some exoplanets discovered in the
insolation habitable zone (HZ) have high orbital eccentricities (eg, up to an eccentricity of …

Carbon containing molecules in cold molecular clouds show various levels of isotopic
fractionation through multiple observations. To understand such effects, we have developed …

The Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn provided a close-up study of the gas giant planet, as
well as its rings, moons, and magnetosphere. The Cassini spacecraft arrived at Saturn in …

ABSTRACT The Voyager 1 flyby of Titan in 1980 gave a first glimpse of the chemical
complexity of Titan's atmosphere, detecting many new molecules with the infrared …

Titan's shape is characterized by a difference between the long equatorial radius and the
polar radius that is several hundred meters larger than that predicted by the flattening due to …

Benzene is a simple neutral aromatic compound found in molecular clouds, comets, and
planetary atmospheres. It has been confirmed on Jupiter, Saturn, Titan, and is expected on …

The Cassini-Huygens mission that explored the Saturn system during the period 2004–2017
revolutionized our understanding of Titan, the only known moon with a dense atmosphere …

This paper presents a review of the current knowledge on the doubly-charged atomic and
molecular positive ions in the planetary atmospheres of the Solar System. It is focused on …

Since its discovery in the first half of the 20th century, scientists have puzzled over the
origins of Titan's atmosphere. Current models suggest that atmospheric N 2 on Titan may …

The chemical environments of young planets are assumed to be largely influenced by the
impacts of bodies lingering on unstable trajectories after the dissolution of the protoplanetary …
