Morphology: an ambiguous indicator of biogenicity

This paper deals with the difficulty of decoding the origins of natural structures through the study of their morphological features. We focus on the case of primitive life detection, where it is clear that the principles of comparative anatomy cannot be applied. A range of inorganic processes are described that result in morphologies emulating biological shapes, with particular emphasis on geochemically plausible processes. In particular, the formation of inorganic biomorphs in alkaline silica-rich environments are described in detail.

Spectral observation of the soft x-ray background and of the north polar spur with solid state spectrometers

Conclusions The present results confirm the thermal nature of the interstellar soft X-ray emission and give rather clear evidence of the Oxygen and Carbon contribution.
