Spectroscopic Evidence for Interstellar Grain Clumps in Meteoritic Inclusions

  • Chapter
Astronomical Origins of Life

Abstract

Aromatic material extracted from the Murchison meteorite shows an absorption at λ2 200 Å similar to the well-known interstellar absorption feature at this wavelength. This suggests a link between interstellar grain clumps containing organics and the presolar component of carbonaceous chondrites.
