The radiation stability of glycine in solid CO2 - in situ laboratory measurements with applications to Mars
P. A. Gerakines, R. L. Hudson
The detection of biologically important, organic molecules on Mars is an important goal that may soon be reached. However, the current small number of organic detections at the Mar…
In-situ measurements of the radiation stability of amino acids at 15-140 K
P. A. Gerakines, R. L. Hudson, M. H. Moore +1
We present new kinetics data on the radiolytic destruction of amino acids measured in situ with infrared spectroscopy. Samples were irradiated at 15, 100, and 140 K with 0.8-MeV pr…
Glycine's Radiolytic Destruction in Ices: First In-Situ Laboratory Measurements for Mars
P. A. Gerakines, R. L. Hudson
We report new laboratory studies of the radiation-induced destruction of glycine-containing ices for a range of temperatures and compositions that allow extrapolation to Martian co…
Infrared Spectra and Optical Constants of Astronomical Ices: II. Ethane and Ethylene
R. L. Hudson, P. A. Gerakines, M. H. Moore
Infrared spectroscopic observations have established the presence of hydrocarbon ices on Pluto and other TNOs, but the abundances of such molecules cannot be deduced without accura…
