摘要
We report the detection of (CH3D)-C-13 in Titan's stratosphere from Cassini/CIRS infrared spectra near 8.7 mu m. Fitting simultaneously the nu(6) bands of both (CH3D)-C-13 and (CH3D)-C-12 and the nu(4) band of CH4, we derive a D/H ratio equal to 1.32(-0).(+0.15)(11) x 10(-4) and a C-12/C-13 ratio in deuterated methane of 82(-18)(+27), consistent with that measured in normal methane.
