The analysis of amino acids in meteorites dates back over 50 years; however, it is only in recent years that research has expanded beyond investigations of a narrow set of meteorite …
The Hayabusa2 spacecraft collected samples from the surface of the carbonaceous near- Earth asteroid (162173) Ryugu and brought them to Earth. The samples were expected to …
Chondrites accreted the oldest solid materials in the solar system including dust processed in the protoplanetary disk and diverse organic compounds. After accretion, asteroidal …
The nature of organic matter in meteorites reveals information about early solar system chemistry and the histories of parent bodies as recorded in the effects of physical and …
In order to investigate the nature of organics at the time of their accretion into chondrite parent bodies, as well as their subsequent evolution with aqueous alteration, we have …
The first cells were plausibly bounded by membranes assembled from fatty acids with at least 8 carbons. Although the presence of fatty acids on the early Earth is widely assumed …
Unravelling the origin of organic compounds that were accreted into asteroids requires better constraining the impact of asteroidal hydrothermal alteration on their isotopic …
Abstract On September 12, 2019 at 12: 49: 48 (UT) a bolide was observed by hundreds of eye-witnesses from the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Denmark and the UK. One day …
The CM carbonaceous chondrite meteorites experienced aqueous alteration in the early solar system. They range from mildly altered type 2 to almost completely hydrated type 1 …
