Primordial aqueous alteration recorded in water-soluble organic molecules from the carbonaceous asteroid (162173) Ryugu
Y. Takano, H. Naraoka, et al.
Discover the intriguing primordial aqueous alteration signatures found in water-soluble organic molecules from the carbonaceous asteroid (162173) Ryugu. This research, conducted by a team of scientists including Yoshinori Takano and Hiroshi Naraoka, unveils the prevalence of low-molecular-weight hydroxy acids and dicarboxylic acids, shedding light on the coevolutionary relationship between water and organics in space.
