Microscale investigation of ultra-violet alteration of meteorite surfaces
Abstract
Ultra-violet radiation has the ability to break down organic matter at the surface of asteroids, meteoroids, comets, and planets into smaller, volatile organics. We investigate the organic matter that is created, or left behind, both qualitatively and quantitatively, using state of the art analytical techniques.
