Scientific paper

UV spectroscopic observations of the surface and atmosphere of Titan are examined, focusing on the use of Titan observations to study prebiotic chemistry. The UV emission spectrum of Titan obtained by Voyager 1 is presented, showing that the majority of the Titan atmosphere is composed of nitrogen. Results of IR spectroscopic observations are reviewed, focusing on evidence for the presence of organic molecules that might be biological precursors. Also, the use of different emission wavelengths to study various regions of the Titan atmosphere is discussed.
