Historically, the physical chemistry of isotope effects and precise measurements in samples
from nature have provided information on processes that could not have been obtained …

Cassini results indicate that solar photons dominate energy deposition in Titan's upper
atmosphere. These dissociate and ionize nitrogen and methane and drive the subsequent …

Context. Photodissociation of 14 N 2 and 14 N 15N occurs in interstellar clouds,
circumstellar envelopes, protoplanetary discs, and other environments due to ultraviolet …

Aeronomy is a description of the physics and chemistry of the upper atmospheres and
ionospheres of planetary bodies. In this chapter we consider those processes occurring in …

Context. Molecular nitrogen is one of the key species in the chemistry of interstellar clouds
and protoplanetary disks, but its photodissociation under interstellar conditions has never …

The 14 N/15 N ratio for N 2 in the atmosphere of Titan was recently measured to be a factor
of 2 higher than the corresponding ratio for HCN. Using a one-dimensional photochemical …

Multi-state electronic dynamics at higher excitation energies is needed for the understanding
of a variety of energy rich situations, including chemistry under extreme conditions, vacuum …

Despite the long history of spectroscopic studies of the C2 molecule, fundamental questions
about its chemical bonding are still being hotly debated. The complex electronic structure of …

The Cassini Ion Neutral Mass Spectrometer (INMS) has measured both neutral and ion
species in Titan's upper atmosphere and ionosphere and the Enceladus plumes. Ion …

A line list for the N 2 second positive system, B 3 Π gC 3 Π u, has been compiled using the
PGOPHER spectral simulation software. The line list extends the number of vibrational …
