    Investigation of Comet Wild-2 in terms of effective atomic numbers

    Han, Ibrahim; Ün, Adem; Alimb, Bünyamin

    Effective atomic numbers (Z eff ) and effective electron densities (N el ) of 69 samples collected from Comet Wild-2 within scope of Stardust mission were determined in the energy range from 1 keV to 100 GeV. The data were individually evaluated for Wild-2 olivines, pyroxene, FeANi sulfide and silicate glass samples to obtain remarkable information about Comet Wild-2. The photon energy and sample composition dependencies of obtained data were investigated. The results show that Z eff and Nel values depend strongly on chemical composition and interaction photon energy. The result of present study may be providing new and helpful knowledge about the Comet Wild-2 and ourSolar System.
