Processing of methane and acetylene ices by galactic cosmic rays and implications to the color diversity of Kuiper Belt objects

Kuiper Belt objects exhibit a wider color range than any other solar system population. The origin of this color diversity is unknown, but likely the result of the prolonged irradiation of organic materials by galactic cosmic rays (GCRs). Here, we combine ultrahigh-vacuum irradiation experiments wit...
