What can meteorites tell us about comets?
Abstract
Cometary silicates, carbon, and volatiles are reviewed using data from the Halley probes, interplanetary dust particles, and cometary spectra. The origins of anhydrous Fe(2+)-bearing silicates; whether hydrated silicates, if present, were made by gaseous or liquid H2O3; sources of organic compounds: ion-molecule reactions, photochemistry, grain catalysis; sources of CO2 and of organic polymers; and interstellar molecules and grains in comets are discussed.
