Recent lines of evidence indicate that Mars may have been substantially warmer and wetter, raising questions about whether the planet's surface was once more conducive to the possibility of life. To better constrain the extent of preservation of ancient amino acid biosignatures, the effects of metal

The Viking missions to Mars failed to detect any organic material in regolith samples. Since then, several removal mechanisms of organic material have been proposed. Two of these proposed methods are removal due to exposure to plasmas created in dust devils and exposure to UV irradiation. The experi
Some relative rate experiments have been carried out at room temperature and at atmospheric pressure. This concerns the OH-oxidation of some oxygenated volatile organic compounds including methanol (k 1 ), ethanol (k 2 ), MTBE (k 3 ), ethyl acetate (k 4 ), n-propyl acetate (k 5 ), isopropyl acetate
The temperature dependence of the rate coefficients for the OH radical reactions with toluene, benzene, o-cresol, m-cresol, p-cresol, phenol, and benzaldehyde were measured by the competitive technique under simulated atmospheric conditions over the temperature range 258-373 K. The relative rate coe
