• A photochemical model of Titan's atmosphere and ionosphere (2009, methodology): “These reactions proceed from ions with lower proton affinities to those with the higher affinities (Hunter and Lias, 1998; Vuitton et al., 2007).”
• On the ionospheric structure of Titan (2009, background): “Titan features the most compositionally complex ionosphere in the Solar System with more than 50 ions contributing to create molecules and aerosols (Vuitton et al., 2007).”
• Negative ion chemistry in Titan's upper atmosphere (2008, methodology): “densities compared with, for example, the twilight T5 pass (Vuitton et al., 2007), supports earlier conclusions that solar energy deposition dominates over magnetospheric energy deposition in the sunlit atmosphere (Galand et al.”
• INMS-derived composition of Titan's upper atmosphere: Analysis methods and model comparison (2009, background): “(2009) determine that C2H5CN has not been directly measured by INMS though its presence is suggested by measurements of ionospheric species (Vuitton et al., 2007).”
• Analysis of Titan's neutral upper atmosphere from Cassini Ion Neutral Mass Spectrometer measurements in the Closed Source Neutral mode (2009, methodology): “The abundances of heavy hydrocarbons and nitrogen-bearing species derived directly from the INMS neutral data are systematically lower than the values predicted from the ion-neutral chemistry model with ion densities obtained from the INMS data in the OSI mode (Vuitton et al., 2007).”
