Laboratory Studies of Methane and Its Relationship to Prebiotic Chemistry
Kensei Kobayashi, Wolf D. Geppert, Nathalie Carrasco +6
In order to examine how the terrestrial life emerged, a number of laboratory experiments have been conducted since the 1950s. Methane has been one of the key molecules in these stu…
Design of a silica-aerogel-based cosmic dust collector for the Tanpopo mission aboard the International Space Station
Makoto Tabata, Eiichi Imai, Hajime Yano +10
We are developing a silica-aerogel-based cosmic dust collector for use in the Tanpopo experiment to be conducted on the International Space Station. The mass production of simple t…
In situ ore formation experiment: Amino acids and amino sugars trapped in artificial chimneys on deep-sea hydrothermal systems at Suiyo Seamount, Izu-Bonin Arc, Pacific Ocean
Takano, Y., Marumo +12
The present study reports on the bio-organic composition of a deep-sea venting hydrothermal system originating from arc volcanism; the origin of the particulates in hydrothermal fl…
Amino acid precursors from a simulated lower atmosphere of Titan: Experiments of cosmic ray energy source with 13 C- and 18 O-stable isotope probing mass spectrometry
Toshinori Taniuchi, Yoshinori Takano, Kensei Kobayashi
The organic haze of aerosols that shrouds the Saturnian moon Titan has previously been studied by both observations and laboratory simulation experiments. Here we report the abioti…
