The origin of Titan's atmospheric methane is a key issue for understanding the origin of the saturnian satellite system. It has been proposed that serpentinization reactions in Titan's interior could lead to the formation of the observed methane. Meanwhile, alternative scenarios suggest that methane

We calculate the D/H ratio of CH 4 from serpentinization on Titan to determine whether Titan's atmospheric CH 4 was originally produced inside the giant satellite. This is done by performing equilibrium isotopic fractionation calculations in the CH 4 -H 2 O-H 2 system, with the assumption that the b
