Investigation of claims for interstellar organisms and complex molecules
Description
The authors report on ultraviolet spectra of molecule and primitive life forms, including several claimed to exist in interstellar space, and compare the results with infrared and ultraviolet data published previously. It is concluded that the identifications claimed by Hoyle, Wickramasinghe and their colleagues are unwarranted. (author)
