Neutral production of hydrogen isocyanide (HNC) and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) in Titan’s upper atmosphere
Aims. Following the first detection of hydrogen isocyanide (HNC) in Titan’s atmosphere, we have devised a new neutral chemical scheme for hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and HNC in the upper atmosphere of Titan. Methods. Our updated chemical scheme contains 137 compounds (with C, H, O and N elements) and 788 reactions (including 91 photolysis processes). To improve the chemistry of HNC and HCN, a carefu...
متن کاملBetween heaven and Earth: the exploration of Titan.
The atmosphere of Titan represents a bridge between the early solar nebula and atmospheres like ours. The low abundances of primordial noble gases in Titan's atmosphere relative to N2 suggest that the icy planetesimals that formed the satellite must have originated at temperatures higher than 75-100 K. Under these conditions, N2 would also be very poorly trapped and thus Titan's nitrogen, like ...
متن کاملDissociation of N2 in capture and ionization collisions with fast H + and N ions and modeling of positive ion formation in the Titan atmosphere
[1] Electron capture and ionization cross sections for protons and nitrogen ions incident on N2 are measured in the energy range 10–100 keV using time of flight (TOF) coincidence counting techniques. In the case of proton impact the formation of N2 + ions dominates for both electron capture and ionization channels at all energies, whereas for N ions, the N2 + formation dominates for electron ca...
متن کاملAtmospheric Chemistry of Titan : Ab Initio Study of the Reaction between Nitrogen Atoms and Methyl Radicals
Ab initio calculations were performed on the reaction N + CH3 products. Optimized geometries have been calculated for all reactants, transition states, and products at the MP2/6-31G1* level. Barriers and heats of reaction have been estimated by fourth-order Mdler-Plesset perturbation theory with spin projection (PMP4(SDTQ)). Harmonic vibrational frequencies and zero-point energy corrections wer...
متن کاملSource of Nitrogen Isotope Anomaly in Hcn in the Atmosphere of Titan
The N/N ratio for N2 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 model with transport, we incorporate new isotopic photoabsorption and photodissociation cross sections of N2, computed quantum-mechanically, and show that the difference in the ratio of N/N between N2 and HCN can be explaine...
