The 12C/13C isotopic ratio in Titan hydrocarbons from Cassini/CIRS infrared spectra

The 12C/13C isotopic ratio in Titan hydrocarbons from Cassini/CIRS infrared spectra

We have analyzed infrared spectra of Titan recorded by the Cassini Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) to measure the isotopic ratio 12C/13C in each of three chemical species in Titan's stratosphere: CH4, C2H2 and C2H6. This is the first measurement of 12C/13C in any C2 molecule on Titan, an...
