Scientific paper

The NASA Astrobiology Institute's Titan team will conduct an interdisciplinary investigation of the prebiotic chemistry on Titan as it is possibly very similar to prebiotic chemistry on the early Earth. As part of this activity, we are developing a comprehensive model of the chemistry of organic compounds in Titan's atmosphere. This master model is a combination of previous planetary atmosphere chemical networks, which comprise mainly reactions between neutral species, and interstellar networks of ion-molecule chemistry, which serves as a good starting point to simulate Titan ionospheric chemistry. The model also includes up-to-date descriptions of photodissociation and photoionization processes and treats the formation of the Titan haze.
We will present a description of the model with some initial results.
