Experimental Constraints on N Cycle on Titan: From NH3-Rich Hydrothermal Fluids to Atmospheric N2 and Possible Deep Rock Storage
Abstract
To better constrain the N cycle on Titan, we performed experiments involving NH3-rich fluids and olivine + orthopyroxene. N2 is produced for T above 500-600°C and could explain the N2-rich atmosphere. Serpentine, talc, and NH4-phlogopite are formed.
