Scientific paper

It is demonstrated on the basis of experiments in which organic materials were ion-irradiated that the dust going to Iapetus from Phoebe can be organic, though Phoebe appears to be carbonaceous. Only the outer layers of Phoebe's crust would be carbonized by the cosmic protons, so that meteorite impacts on Phoebe would lead to the ejection of material from deeper layers which is of different color from that carbonized on the surface.
