Organic hazes formed from methane are present in many planetary and satellite atmospheres and influence surface and atmospheric processes. Here we examine the compositional and optical properties of laboratory generated hazes, or tholins, formed with varying amounts of methane using spark discharge excitation. By studying the optical and chemical properties together as a function of methane precursor...
