ADMIN NOTE: Hi All, a new topic for the discussion of the science from the SAM and Chemin instruments.
There has been a very important amendment to Rule 1.3 which is explained here. Please remember Rule 1.3 at all times when discussing matters in this section. |

One scale Fahrenheit and the other Celcius? I would have thought that based on past experience metric/centigrade would have been compulsory for anything connected to the space program but at least they could be consistent.
I can appreciate the desire to burn off contamination in the first run, but that doesn’t explain why the O2 and CO2 peaks are transposed between the two plots. As Don1 stated the relationship between CO2 and O2 plots for the 4th JK plot does imply some kind of combustion but the CO2 maxima is above the 250 Celcius preheat temperature and it is hard to fathom why artefacts above that temperature should be so dramatically different. |
