Chemical evolution of primordial salts and organic sulfur molecules in the asteroid 162173 Ryugu

Abstract Samples from the carbonaceous asteroid (162173) Ryugu provide information on the chemical evolution of organic molecules in the early solar system. Here we show the element partitioning of the major component ions by sequential extractions of salts, carbonates, and phyllosilicate-bearing fr...
