Methodologies for 176Lu-176Hf Analysis of Zircon Grains from the Moon and Beyond
Xi Chen, Nicolas Dauphas, Zhe J. Zhang +6
Zircons are found in extraterrestrial rocks from the Moon, Mars, and some differentiated meteorite parent-bodies. These zircons are rare, often of small size, and have been affecte…
Presolar stardust in asteroid Ryugu
Jens Barosch, Larry R. Nittler, Jianhua Wang +121
We have conducted a NanoSIMS-based search for presolar material in samples recently returned from C-type asteroid Ryugu as part of JAXA's Hayabusa2 mission. We report the detection…
Earth's accretion inferred from iron isotopic anomalies of supernova nuclear statistical equilibrium origin
Timo Hopp, Nicolas Dauphas, Fridolin Spitzer +2
Nucleosynthetic Fe isotopic anomalies in meteorites may be used to reconstruct the early dynamical evolution of the solar system and to identify the origin and nature of the materi…
Terrestrial planet formation by torque-driven convergent migration of planetary embryos
M. Brož, O. Chrenko, D. Nesvorný +1
Massive cores of the giant planets are thought to have formed in a gas disk by accretion of pebble-size particles whose accretional cross-section is enhanced by aerodynamic gas dra…
Origin of the Moon
Robin M. Canup, Kevin Righter, Nicolas Dauphas +8
The Earth-Moon system is unusual in several respects. The Moon is roughly 1/4 the radius of the Earth - a larger satellite-to-planet size ratio than all known satellites other than…
Evidence of presolar SiC in the Allende Curious Marie calcium aluminum rich inclusion
O. Pravdivtseva, F. L. Tissot, N. Dauphas +1
Calcium aluminum rich inclusions (CAIs) are one of the first solids to have condensed in the solar nebula, while presolar grains formed in various evolved stellar environments. It…
