Determination of the minimum masses of heavy elements in the envelopes of Jupiter and Saturn (2008)

Mousis, Olivier, Marboeuf, Ulysse, Lunine, Jonathan I., Alibert, Yann, Fletcher, Leigh N., Orton, Glenn S., ...

We calculate the minimum mass of heavy elements required in the envelopes of Jupiter and Saturn to match the observed oversolar abundances of volatiles. Because the clathration efficiency remains...

Clathration of Volatiles in the Solar Nebula and Implications for the Origin of Titan's atmosphere (2008)

Mousis, Olivier, Lunine, Jonathan I., Thomas, Caroline, Pasek, Matthew, Marboeuf, Ulysse, Alibert, Yann, ...

We describe a scenario of Titan's formation matching the constraints imposed by its current atmospheric composition. Assuming that the abundances of all elements, including oxygen, are solar in the...

Sequestration of noble gases by H3+ in protoplanetary disks and outer solar system composition (2007)

Mousis, Olivier, Pauzat, Francoise, Ellinger, Yves, Ceccarelli, Cecilia

We study the efficiency of the noble gases sequestration by the ion H3+ in the form of XH3+ complexes (with X = argon, krypton or xenon) in gas phase conditions similar to those encountered during...
