• A photochemical model of Titan's atmosphere and ionosphere (2009, methodology): “Of all preCassini observations, we use only the Voyager UVS occultation data (Vervack et al., 2004), millimeter observations of HCN, HC3N, and CH3CN (Marten et al., 2002; Gurwell, 2004; Tanguy et al., 1990), and the ISO observation of H2O (Coustenis et al., 1998).”
• Analysis of Titan's neutral upper atmosphere from Cassini Ion Neutral Mass Spectrometer measurements in the Closed Source Neutral mode (2009, background): “The presence of C2H3CN on Titan has not been reported in any previous work, and only upper limit has been put (Marten et al., 2002; Coustenis et al., 2007).”
• Ion chemistry and N-containing molecules in Titan's upper atmosphere (2007, methodology): “…Tb flyby (Teanby et al., 2006). f Disk average measurements obtained with the IRAM 30-m telescope (Spain) between April 1996 and December 1999 (Marten et al., 2002). g IRIS measurements at latitudes higher than 50◦ N obtained during the Voyager 1 encounter in November 1980 (Bernard et al.,…”
• The Nitrogen Chemistry of Titan’s Upper Atmosphere Revealed (2006, methodology): “CH3CN has been previously detected in Titan’s upper stratosphere (Marten et al. 2002), and C2H5 N has been tentatively identified in the condense phase (Khanna 2005).”
• Vertical abundance profiles of hydrocarbons in Titan's atmosphere at 15° S and 80° N retrieved from Cassini/CIRS spectra (2007, background): “5 times the terrestrial value (Marten et al., 2002).”
• Laboratory experiments of Titan tholin formed in cold plasma at various pressures: implications for nitrogen-containing polycyclic aromatic compounds in Titan haze (2004, background): “…et al. (1996) showed the difficulty in multaneously reproducing the observed mixing ratios of C2 hydrocarbons in the lower stratosphere (Coustenis e 1989) and the observed HCN vertical distribution (Tang et al., 1990; Hidayat et al., 1998; Marten et al., 2002) w a single eddy diffusion profile.”
