Silly me didn't think of just trying with SM mode.  It's about 100K.

So if you really want to terraform Titan-like bodies, crank up its atmosphere with Nitrogen (about 2. 1 bar for Titan) to get the temperature above the boilingpoint of Aesusium.  Then you can start adding Aestusium and do as normal.  Be careful not to let the temperature fall below 100K while removing the dangerous gases, keep a temperature margin.

As far as I can tell Aestisium is the greenhouse gas with the lowest boiling point, or am I missing something?

Yep that's how you do it, I did it recently.

According to the database, Aestusium boils at 100K, or about -173C.

The boiling point of Frigusium, incidentally, is 1K, or just about any temperature you're likely to encounter ever.

As far as I know the molecule doesn't exist in the real-world.  It would be useful to know its boiling point for terraforming purposes, to determine viable candidates.

It's higher than oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen, I can tell you that much.
