Modeling the formation of Menrva impact crater on Titan: Implications for habitability
Original language description
Titan is unique in the solar system: it is an ocean world, an icy world, an organic world, and has a dense atmosphere. It is a geologically active world as well, with ongoing exogenic processes, such as rainfall, sediment transportation and deposition, erosion, and possible endogenic processes, such as tectonism and cryovolcanism. This combination of an organic and an ocean world makes Titan a prime target for astrobiological research, as biosignatures may be present in its surface, in impact melt deposits and in cryovolcanic flows, as well as in deep ice and water ocean underneath the outer ice shell. Impact craters are important sites in this context, as they may have allowed an exchange of materials between Titans layers, in particular between the surface, composed of organic sediments over icy bedrock, and the subsurface ocean. It is also possible that impacts may have favored the advance of prebiotic chemical reactions themselves, by providing thermal energy that would allow these react
