Scientific paper
Several processed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) samples were produced to date. The Raman spectra and D/H ratios of these samples will be studied in the near future. A manuscript was sent to Icarus which gives a detailed discussion of the possibility of using solar flare tracks in interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) to determine a cometary vs. asteroidal source of the IDPs. The technique looks promising and a program was started to measure the large number of IDP track density necessary to address the issue of the source(s) of the dust. The results could potentially tell a great deal about comets and/or asteroids.
