Nitrogen interplanetary dust particles

Most of interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) contain 2-10 % carbon by weight in a variety of physical forms, including amorphous materials with a minor amount of oxygen and nitrogen. Allamandola et al. [27] reported tliat both IDPs and meteorites might contain materials similar to PAHs. Clemett et al. [28] identified many PAHs and their alkylated derivatives in IDPs.
