Scientific paper

We present results of laboratory experiments carried out to examine the impact-induced chemistry on Titan and to study the reactivity and a possible fate of tholins on Titan surface. We have used a high-energy pulsed laser to recreate the energetic processes during meteoritic impacts shocks. The experiments have consisted in ablating pure water ices and ices of 15% NH4OH in water containing Titan tholins at 77 K under vacuum. We have examined optically the chemical changes of impacted tholins and studied the formation of complex organic compounds in the impacted ices.
