| Abstract: |
The results of extensive studies of the VUV photophysics of a number of prebiotic
molecules are discussed in the context of the survivability of these species under various conditions of
irradiation and settings corresponding to the interstellar medium, planetary atmospheres and cometary
and asteroidal environments. They are thus applicable to similar stellar conditions and planetary
environments, and are also pertinent for identifying markers that can be associated with the presence
or possible future existence of life on exoplanets. |
