The Chemical Composition of Mercury
Larry R. Nittler, Nancy L. Chabot, Timothy L. Grove +1
The chemical composition of a planetary body reflects its starting conditions modified by numerous processes during its formation and geological evolution. Measurements by X-ray, g…
Determining the Elemental and Isotopic Composition of the preSolar Nebula from Genesis Data Analysis: The Case of Oxygen
J. Martin Laming, V. S. Heber, D. S. Burnett +12
We compare element and isotopic fractionations measured in solar wind samples collected by NASA's Genesis mission with those predicted from models incorporating both the ponderomot…
J-type carbon stars: A dominant source of 14N-rich presolar SiC grains of type AB
Nan Liu, Thomas Stephan, Patrick Boehnke +6
We report Mo isotopic data of 27 new presolar SiC grains, including 12 14N-rich AB (14N/15N>440, AB2) and 15 mainstream (MS) grains, and their correlated Sr and Ba isotope ratios w…
Stellar origin of 15N-rich presolar SiC grains of type AB: supernovae with explosive hydrogen burning
Nan Liu, Larry R. Nittler, Marco Pignatari +2
We report C, N, and Si isotopic data for 59 highly 13C-enriched presolar submicron- to micron-sized SiC grains from the Murchison meteorite, including eight putative nova grains (P…
The Future of Stardust Science
A. J. Westphal, J. C. Bridges, D. E. Brownlee +13
Recent observations indicate that >99% of the small bodies in the Solar System reside in its outer reaches --- in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud. Kuiper Belt bodies are probably th…
Origin of meteoritic stardust unveiled by a revised proton-capture rate of O
M. Lugaro, A. I. Karakas, C. G. Bruno +34
Stardust grains recovered from meteorites provide high-precision snapshots of the isotopic composition of the stellar environment in which they formed. Attributing their origin to…
