Titan's Ethane Appeared Without a High-Resolution Line List
Cross-section templates extended molecular cross-correlation spectroscopy beyond traditional line-by-line inputs.
Summary
Cross-section templates extended molecular cross-correlation spectroscopy beyond traditional line-by-line inputs.
CRIRES+ observations recovered methane and acetylene and produced the first reported HRCCS ethane detection at signal-to-noise 5.17 ± 0.07. The method may expand atmospheric searches where complete line lists are unavailable.
Why it matters
Cross-section templates extended molecular cross-correlation spectroscopy beyond traditional line-by-line inputs.
Limits and context
No additional limitation was separately recorded.
Key claims
