We survey the current situation regarding chemical modelling of the synthesis of molecules
in the interstellar medium. The present state of knowledge concerning the rate coefficients …

This paper is a detailed critical review of the production processes and reactions of N, N+,
N+ 2, N++, and N++ 2 of relevance to Titan's atmosphere. The review includes neutral, ion …

We present a novel chemical database for gas-phase astrochemistry. Named the KInetic
Database for Astrochemistry (KIDA), this database consists of gas-phase reactions with rate …

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 …

The Electron Spectrometer (ELS), one of the sensors making up the Cassini Plasma
Spectrometer (CAPS) revealed the existence of numerous negative ions in Titan's upper …

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 …

The photochemical processes at work in the atmosphere of Titan are very complex and lead
to a great variety of compounds with aerosols as an end-product. One of the most complex …

Here we present the first quantitative study of the gas to solid particle conversion in a Radio
Frequency dusty plasma experiment simulating the complex atmospheric reactivity on Titan …

Titan, SATURN's largest satellite, is a distant world: far away from the Sun and its close,
warm TERRESTRIAL PLANETS. A fair distance from Saturn, too. Seen from Titan, at more …

The mean energy W expended in a collision of electrons with atmospheric gases is a useful
parameter for fast aeronomy computations. Computing this parameter in transport kinetic …
