Plume Sample Modification at Icy Moons: Implications for Biosignatures
Water from the plumes of icy moons is a potential sampling target that may preserve the aqueous chemistry of the interior oceans, as well as organics and other biosignatures or prebiotic chemical precursors. Water within the plumes will be modified both as it is transported far above the moon's...
