Ash never really has an opportunity to study the adult.  Apart from possibly the deleted airlock scene he never even sees it.

Apart from Kane and himself everybody else got to see it,ironic considering how much he wanted to study it.

Maybe Mother scanned it with her Alien Detector (TM) and showed her data to Ash.

It shows that Sulaco could detect an alien lifeform and even where it was and went, so theres no reason why Ripley or Bishop wouldn't tell the Sulaco computer to scan the ship for alien lifeforms

Where it was and where it went?  In the novelization?  While interesting the novelisation isn't the movie though.

I have more difficulty believing that the Ripley would have allowed the Sulaco to leave orbit without making certain the derelict was obliterated.  My head canon says that she was able to launch a nuke at the derelict's grid reference before settling down into hypersleep.  Just to be sure.

I've often thought this too except she probably couldn't have.  There's probably strict protocols to follow to launch nukes etc and I doubt, even if she wanted to, that Ripley would have been able to do it.

Maybe that's how she became a lieutenant.  ;)

Besides that, Hicks seemed confident that he could do it.  Unless he was just humoring Ripley, that is.

She'd wouldn't have left without being sure.

Is there a scene in the SM-fanfic version of Alien 3 that addresses this?

Except that he was out.

We don't know how much time elapsed between the queen's last stand and beddy-byes.

No need.  It's taken as read that it's destroyed.

Wouldn't the Derelict have also been destroyed when the Atmosphere Processor went up?Or was that further away?

It's implied the AP explosion took it out.
