Carbon XANES Data from Six Aerogel Picokeystones Cut From the Top and Bottom Sides of the Stardust
Introduction: Great care and a large effort was made to minimize the amount of organic matter contained within the flight aerogel used to collect Comet 81P/Wild 2 samples [1]. Even so, by the very nature of the production process and silica aerogel’s affinity for volatile organics keeping silica aerogel free from organics is a monumental task. Silica aerogel from three production batches was fl...
متن کاملTof-sims Analysis of Residues of Projectiles Shot onto Stardust Aluminum
Introduction: The samples from the Stardust space probe will offer the first opportunity for analyzing cometary matter collected under controlled conditions together with contemporary interstellar dust particles [1, 2]. Moreover, Stardust is the first sample return mission ever that provides material from a known solar system object other than the moon. The primary goal after sample arrival is ...
متن کاملBreakup, Sorting, Mixing, and Melting of Cometary Dust during Capture by Stardust
Introduction: Dust from comet Wild 2 was collected at a velocity of 6.1 km/s by the Stardust spacecraft using low-density silica aerogel [1]. During deceleration, dust particles fragmented, mixed with aerogel, and were thermally modified, often melted. In order to disentangle the properties of impacting cometary particles from those caused by the capture process, Wild 2 material from various lo...
متن کاملTof-sims Analysis of Cometary Fragments Extracted from a Stardust Aerogel
Introduction: Dust from comet Wild 2 was collected by the Stardust mission and returned to Earth in 2006 [1]. Low-density silica aerogel served as primary capture medium to facilitate gentle deceleration of cometary matter at a sampling velocity of 6.1 km/s [2]. However, the majority of the cometary matter captured by Stardust ended up in so-called bulbous aerogel tracks, where most of the mass...
متن کاملMulti-dimensional TOF-SIMS analysis for effective profiling of disease-related ions from the tissue surface
Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) emerges as a promising tool to identify the ions (small molecules) indicative of disease states from the surface of patient tissues. In TOF-SIMS analysis, an enhanced ionization of surface molecules is critical to increase the number of detected ions. Several methods have been developed to enhance ionization capability. However, how thes...
