Hydroxylated Mg-rich amorphous silicates as catalysts for molecular hydrogen formation in the interstellar medium
V. Mennella, T. Suhasaria, B. Kerkeni +1
We present results from an experimental study on the interaction of atomic deuterium with Mg-rich amorphous enstatite and forsterite type silicates. Infrared spectroscopy was used…
Identification of Ammonium Salts on Comet 67P/C-G Surface from Infrared VIRTIS/Rosetta Data Based on Laboratory Experiments. Implications and Perspectives
Olivier Poch, Istiqomah Istiqomah, Eric Quirico +29
The nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko exhibits a broad spectral reflectance feature around 3.2 m, which is omnipresent in all spectra of the surface, and whose attribut…
Lyα irradiation of solid-state formamide
T. Suhasaria, V. Mennella
Formamide (NHCHO), a potential prebiotic precursor, has been proposed to play an important role in the context of origin of life on our planet. It has been observed in differen…
Infrared detection of aliphatic organics on a cometary nucleus
A. Raponi, M. Ciarniello, F. Capaccioni +28
The ESA Rosetta mission has acquired unprecedented measurements of comet 67/P-Churyumov-Gerasimenko (hereafter 67P) nucleus surface, whose composition, as determined by in situ and…
Ammonium salts are a reservoir of nitrogen on a cometary nucleus and possibly on some asteroids
O. Poch, I. Istiqomah, E. Quirico +29
The measured nitrogen-to-carbon ratio in comets is lower than for the Sun, a discrepancy which could be alleviated if there is an unknown reservoir of nitrogen in comets. The nucle…
