Amino acids generated from hydrated Titan tholins: Comparison with Miller–Urey electric discharge products

Authors: H.J. Cleaves II, C. Neish, M.P. Callahan, E. Parker, F.M. Fernández, J.P. Dworkin Various analogues of Titan haze particles (termed ‘tholins’) have been made in the laboratory. In certain geologic environments on Titan, these haze particles may come into contact with aqueous ammonia (NH3) solutions, hydrolyzing them into molecules of astrobiological interest. A Titan tholin analogue hydrolyzed in aqueous…

Nitrile gas chemistry in Titan’s atmosphere

Authors: T. Gautier, N. Carrasco, A. Buch, C. Szopa, E. Sciamma-O’Brien, G. Cernogora, This work presents the first study of the gaseous products resulting from the partial dissociation of meth- ane and nitrogen in the PAMPRE experimental setup simulating Titan’s atmospheric chemistry. Using cryogenic trapping, the gaseous products generated from the chemical reactions occurring in the reactor have been trapped….
