Abstract The Cassini Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer (INMS) investigation will determine
the mass composition and number densities of neutral species and low-energy ions in key …

Ionizing radiation is a ubiquitous feature of the Cosmos, from exogenous cosmic rays (CR)
to the intrinsic mineral radioactivity of a habitable world, and its influences on the emergence …

We present a one-dimensional coupled ion-neutral photochemical kinetics and diffusion
model to study the atmospheric composition of Titan in light of new theoretical kinetics …

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 …

A global-mean model of coupled neutral and ion chemistry on Titan has been developed.
Unlike the previous coupled models, the model involves ambipolar diffusion and escape of …

In this paper we present an in-depth study of the distributions of various neutral species in
Titan's upper atmosphere, between 950 and 1500 km for abundant species (N2, CH4, H2) …

In the context of recent observations, microphysical models, and laboratory data, a
photochemical model of Titan's atmosphere, including updated chemistry focusing on rate …

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 …

Many models with different characteristics have been published so far to study the chemical
processes at work in Titan's atmosphere. Some models focus on neutral species in the …

We present a study of the formation and distribution of benzene (C6H6) on Titan. Analysis of
the Cassini Mass Spectrometer (INMS) measurements of benzene densities on 12 Titan …
