HCN formation by the chemical interaction between high speed impact fragments and the planetary atmosphere : Effect of atmospheric composition and impact velocity
We conducted laser ablation experiments in model atmospheres to simulate chemical reactions between impact-generated CN radicals and an ambient atmosphere. We investigated the dependence of atmospheric composition on the yield of HCN.
