Comet 81P/Wild 2 under a microscope.

Donald E. Brownlee, +185 more
- 15 Dec 2006 - 
TL;DR: The Stardust spacecraft collected thousands of particles from comet 81P/Wild 2 and returned them to Earth for laboratory study, and preliminary examination shows that the nonvolatile portion of the comet is an unequilibrated assortment of materials that have both presolar and solar system origin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Organics captured from comet 81P/Wild 2 by the Stardust spacecraft.

TL;DR: The presence of deuterium and nitrogen-15 excesses suggest that some organics have an interstellar/protostellar heritage and a diverse suite of organic compounds is present and identifiable within the returned samples.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact features on Stardust : implications for Comet 81P/Wild 2 dust

TL;DR: Particles emanating from comet 81P/Wild 2 collided with the Stardust spacecraft at 6.1 kilometers per second, producing hypervelocity impact features on the collector surfaces that were returned to Earth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypervelocity impact studies using the 2 MV Van de Graaff accelerator and two-stage light gas gun of the University of Kent at Canterbury

TL;DR: The hypervelocity impact facilities of the University of Kent as discussed by the authors include a 2 MV Van de Graaff accelerator for the electrostatic acceleration of dust particles (mass and velocities) and a two-stage light gas gun firing millimetre-sized particles at.
Journal ArticleDOI

The crystal barrel spectrometer at LEAR

TL;DR: In this paper, the crystal Barrel spectrometer used at LEAR, CERN to study the products of pd annihilations is described and the performance of the detector is discussed.
