Synthesis of analogues of cometary organic matter: thermochemical evolution and preparation of in-situ observations

An organic residue is remaining at 300 K after the VUV photolysis of ices mixture and subsequent heating. This residue is thought to be representative of the organic matter contained in comets. Our experiments show that the thermal evolution is an important process. Indeed, the organic residue rema...
