Design of the Life Signature Detection Polarimeter LSDpol
Christoph U. Keller, Frans Snik, C. H. Lucas Patty +11
Many biologically produced chiral molecules such as amino acids and sugars show a preference for left or right handedness (homochirality). Light reflected by biological materials s…
Visible and near-infrared reflectance of hyperfine and hyperporous particulate surfaces
Robin Sultana, Olivier Poch, Pierre Beck +2
The composition of Solar System surfaces can be inferred through reflectance and emission spectroscopy, by comparing these observations to laboratory measurements and radiative tra…
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…
