Laboratory simulation of organic grain mantlesLaboratory simulations have been conducted of interstellar space conditions conducive to grain mantle evolution, including the photoproduction of a material which resembles the organic refractory mantle on interstellar grains. Upon analysis by various methods these organic refractory samples are noted to consist of a complex mixture of long, cross-linked chains, with a high probability of being aromatic carbon molecules.
