Organic thermometry for chondritic parent bodies (2008, background): “C-XANES has been previously applied to the study of organic microfossils (Cody et al., 1995; Boyce et al., 2002), interplanetary dust particles (Flynn et al., 2003) and recently returned comet particles (Cody et al., 2008).”
Ultra-primitive interplanetary dust particles from the comet 26P/Grigg–Skjellerup dust stream collection (2009, background): “While many primitive characteristics have been found already in various IDPs (e.g., Keller et al., 2000; Messenger, 2000; Flynn et al., 2003; Floss et al., 2004; Messenger et al., 2005; Floss et al., 2006) the accumulation of all these properties within two IDPs lets us argue that these are indeed “”
The nature of molecular cloud material in interplanetary dust (2004, background): “The variations in the relative strengths of the 285- to the 288.5-eV absorption features indicate that the ratio of CC to CO is not constant from one IDP to another ( Flynn et al., 2003 ).”
Quantitative organic and light‐element analysis of comet 81P/Wild 2 particles using C‐, N‐, and O‐μ‐XANES (2008, background): “If anhydrous IDPs do constitute remnants of cometary matter (Brownlee et al. 1995; Rietmeijer 1998), then it may be possible that the relative reduction in oxygen evident in the organic samples retrieved from the aerogel is evidence of alteration during the energetic phase of particle capture.”
