A Sulfate-rich Model of Titan’s Interior I: Implications for the Composition of Cryomagmas
Introduction: The existing paradig the internal structure of Titan consists of overlain by an icy mantle bearing a deep ocean of aqueous ammonia [e.g., ref. 1]. regarding the possibility of cryovolcanic Titan [2], which is now apparently being b focused upon aqueous ammonia as cryomagma. Measurements of the v ammonia-water mixtures have been used cryovolcanoes and flows on Titan wi terrestrial ...
متن کاملThermodynamics of Geysers: Application to Titan
General constraints on geyser phenomena are developed and applied to speculative methane geysers on Titan. Variation of boiling point with depth of ethane–methane–nitrogen fluids is found to be of order 0.3 K m−1, in contrast with around 2 K m−1 for water on Earth. It is found that geysers are possible on Titan but require enhancements of ∼100 above global-average geothermal heat flux, a factor...
متن کاملResurfacing of Titan by Ammonia-water Cryomagma
Figure 1. Large flow imaged by the Titan Radar Mapper using the SAR mode during the Ta fly-by on October 26, 2004. The image covers an area about 150 km, centered at about 45 N, 30 W. The radar illumination is from the south. Note that the southern edges of the flow are brighter, consistent with the structure being raised above the relatively featureless darker background. This is one of severa...
متن کاملForecasting volcanic eruptions
Forecasting is a central goal of volcanology. Intensive monitoring of recent eruptions has generated integrated timeseries of data, which have resulted in several successful examples of warnings being issued on impending eruptions. Ability to forecast is being advanced by new technology, such as broad-band seismology, satellite observations of ground deformation and improved field spectrometers...
متن کاملStrong Isotope Effects on Melting Dynamics and Ice Crystallisation Processes in Cryo Vitrification Solutions
The nucleation and growth of crystalline ice during cooling, and further crystallization processes during re-warming are considered to be key processes determining the success of low temperature storage of biological objects, as used in medical, agricultural and nature conservation applications. To avoid these problems a method, termed vitrification, is being developed to inhibit ice formation ...
