Organic Material in Micrometeorites: Processes Affecting Its Delivery to Planetary Environments
During their delivery to Earth, extraterrestrial dust particles (EDPs) are heated via aerodynamic braking in the upper atmosphere, liberating volatile and organic species. This study investigates the influence of atmospheric entry heating on this liberation process from Murchison (an EDP analogue),...
