Hybrid accretion of carbonaceous chondrites by radial transport across the Jupiter barrier

Elishevah van Kooten, Martin Schiller, Frederic Moynier +3

Understanding the origin of chondritic components and their accretion pathways is critical to unravel the magnitude of mass transport in the protoplanetary disk, the accretionary h…

Evidence for transient atmospheres during eruptive outgassing on the Moon

Elishevah van Kooten, Frédéric Moynier, James Day

Events following the giant impact formation of the Moon are thought to have led to volatile depletion and concurrent mass-dependent fractionation of the isotopes of moderately vola…

Timing of thermal metamorphism in CM chondrites: implication for Ryugu and Bennu future sample return

Elsa Amsellem, Frédéric Moynier, Brandon Mahan +1

Carbonaceous chondrites are often considered potential contributors of water and other volatiles to terrestrial planets as most of them contain significant amounts of hydrous miner…

Zinc isotope analyses of singularly small samples (<5 ng Zn): investigating chondrule-matrix complementarity in Leoville

Elishevah van Kooten, Frederic Moynier

The potential complementarity between chondrules and matrix of chondrites, the Solar System's building blocks, is still a highly debated subject. Complementary superchrondritic com…

Volatile loss following cooling and accretion of the Moon revealed by chromium isotopes

Paolo A. Sossi, Frédéric Moynier, Kirsten van Zuilen

Terrestrial and lunar rocks share chemical and isotopic similarities in refractory elements, suggestive of a common precursor. By contrast, the marked depletion of volatile element…

A history of violence: insights into post-accretionary heating in carbonaceous chondrites from volatile element abundances, Zn isotopes, and water contents

Brandon Mahan, Frederic Moynier, Pierre Beck +2

Carbonaceous chondrites (CCs) may have been the carriers of water, volatile and moderately volatile elements to Earth. Investigating the abundances of these elements, their relativ…
