The natures of the circumplanetary hydrogen tori of Titan and Triton are explored. Two mechanisms are identified which dramatically alter the standard picture adopted for the spatial distribution of a gas torus that forms in the \(1 / r\) central gravitational potential of a planet for a gas source

We report chromatographic and spectroscopic analyses of both Titan and Triton tholins, organic solids made from the plasma irradiation of 0.9:0.1 and 0.999:0.001 N2/CH4 gas mixtures, respectively. The lower CH4 mixing ratio leads to a nitrogen-richer tholin (N/C > 1), probably including nitrogen het

Nitrogen ice, probably the dominant high albedo surface material on Pluto and Triton, has optical constants that are more strongly absorbing in the thermal infrared than at visible wavelengths. This optical behavior results in absorption of sunlight, on average, at greater depths than the depths fro

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
