Constraints for Nuclear Astrophysics from an Unusual Presolar Silicate-Oxide Aggregate Grain Found in Primitive Ordinary Chondrite Meteorite Hills 00526
Larry R. Nittler, Jens Barosch, Conel M. O'D. Alexander +1
We report O, Mg-Al, Si, Ca, and Ti isotopic data for an unusual presolar oxide/silicate aggregate grain, M526-69, previously reported in the primitive ordinary chondrite Meteorite…
Clues for Solar System Formation from Meteorites and their Parent Bodies
Bernard Marty, Katherine R. Bermingham, Larry R. Nittler +1
Understanding the origin of comets requires knowledge of how the Solar System formed from a cloud of dust and gas 4.567 Gyr ago. Here, a review is presented of how the remnants of…
A Pyroxenite Mantle on Mercury? Experimental Insights from Enstatite Chondrite Melting at Pressures up to 5 GPa
Asmaa Boujibar, Kevin Righter, Emmanuel Fontaine +4
Enstatite chondrites (EC) are potential source material for the accretion of Mercury due to their reduced nature and enrichment in volatile elements. Understanding their melting pr…
The Ni isotopic composition of Ryugu reveals a common accretion region for carbonaceous chondrites
Fridolin Spitzer, Thorsten Kleine, Christoph Burkhardt +88
The isotopic compositions of samples returned from Cb-type asteroid Ryugu and Ivuna-type (CI) chondrites are distinct from other carbonaceous chondrites, which has led to the sugge…
