Spectroscopic Evidence for Interstellar Grain Clumps in Meteoritic Inclusions
Abstract
Aromatic material extracted from the Murchison meteorite shows an absorption at λ2200 Å similar to the well-known interstellar absorption feature at this wavelength. This suggests a link between interstellar grain clumps containing organics and the presolar component of carbonaceous chondrites.
