Generation and Detectability of Organic Compounds and CO2 from Hypervelocity Dust Impacts Into Icy Surfaces in the Lab
Abstract
New experiments at the University of Colorado dust accelerator produce mass spectra from hypervelocity impacts into cryogenic targets. Early results indicate the survival and detection of complex organic molecules and CO2.
