Abstract

Biemann 1 calls into question our preliminary interpretations of our experimental results2. A comparison of laboratory and flight measurements should settle the uncertainties he raises. In addition to evaluating instrumental characteristics such as the 'piston effect', a technique we used for injecting oven-gas content for gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS), such studies should enable a wide range of possible compositions for Titan's aerosols to be investigated. Our aerosol collection and pyrolysis (ACP) measurements in Titan's atmosphere can then be revisited.
