内容記述 | The chemical composition of Europa's surface is strongly influenced by energetic charge particle bombardment from Jupiter's magnetosphere. Here we report on progress in experimental work designed to address: 1) The production of radiolytic products in thermodynamic disequilibrium that could be utilized by known terrestrial microorganisms, and 2) The modification of complex organic molecules and degradation of biological material by the simulated Europan surface radiation environment. |
