Formation of Iapetusl Extreme Albedo Dichotomy by Exogenically
REPORTS vealing peak dark- and bright-terrain temper- atures of 129 and 113 K, respectively. Thermal model fits to these temperatures, using thermal Formation of Iapetus’ Extreme Albedo inertias from (22), yield dark- and bright-terrain albedos of 0.04 and 0.39, respectively. The bright-terrain albedo is substantially higher than Dichotomy by Exogenically Triggered the 0.31 value determined from the FP1 data (which have lower spatial resolution), probably Thermal Ice Migration because those data included some dark terrain within the bright-terrain measurements. 1 2 John R.

Iapetus’ long rotation period (79 days) Iapetus’ bright and dark terrain. We demonstrate that all these characteristics, and the asymmetry’s yields substantially higher daytime temperatures large amplitude, can be plausibly explained by runaway global thermal migration of water ice, for a given albedo than on the other saturnian triggered by the deposition of dark material on the leading hemisphere. This mechanism is unique satellites, because there is more time for temper- to Iapetus among the saturnian satellites because its slow rotation produces unusually high atures to equilibrate with sunlight and a smaller daytime temperatures and water ice sublimation rates for a given albedo. -

Photochemistry Vs. Radiation Chemistry of Interstellar Ices Chris
Extraterrestrial Prebiotic Molecules: Photochemistry vs. Radiation Chemistry of Interstellar Ices Chris R. Arumainayagam, Robin T. Garrod, Michael Boyer, Aurland Hay, Si Tong Bao, Jyoti Campbell, Amy Wang, Chris M. Nowak, Michael R. Arumainayagam, and Peter J. Hodge In 2016, unambiguous evidence for the presence of the amino acid glycine, an important prebiotic molecule, was deduced based on in situ mass-spectral studies of the coma surrounding cometary ice. This finding is significant because comets are thought to have preserved the icy grains originally found in the interstellar medium prior to solar system formation. Energetic processing of cosmic ices via photochemistry and radiation chemistry is thought to be the dominant mechanism for the extraterrestrial synthesis of prebiotic molecules. Radiation chemistry is defined as the “study of the chemical changes produced by the absorption of radiation of sufficiently high energy to produce ionization.” Ionizing radiation in cosmic chemistry includes high-energy particles (e.g., cosmic rays) and high-energy photons (e.g., extreme-UV). In contrast, photochemistry is defined as chemical processes initiated by photon-induced electronic excitation not involving ionization. Vacuum-UV (6.2 –12.4 eV) light may, in addition to photochemistry, initiate radiation chemistry because the threshold for producing secondary electrons is lower in the condensed phase than in the gas phase. Unique to radiation chemistry are four phenomena: (1) production of a cascade of low-energy (< 20 eV) secondary electrons which are thought to be the dominant driving force for radiation chemistry, (2) reactions initiated by cations, (3) non-uniform distribution of reaction intermediates, and (4) non-selective chemistry leading to the production of multiple reaction products. -
