Isotopic analysis of tochilinite (carbonate and magnetite) in Winchcombe: Temperature constraints on early‐stage aqueous alteration in the CM parent body

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We report the first oxygen isotope measurements of tochilinite (δ17O: 11.0 ± 2.1‰, δ18O: 23.5 ± 4.0‰ and Δ17O: −1.1 ± 1.2‰) in a CM chondrite (Winchcombe, lithology C [CM2.2/2.3]). We analyzed type‐I tochilinite‐cronstedtite intergrowths (TCIs)—formed by pseudomorphic replacement of kamacite.

Revisiting the Numerical Evaluation and Visualization of the Gravity Fields of Asteroid 4769 Castalia Using Polyhedron and Harmonic Expansions Models

open access: yesApplied Sciences
For the convenience of comparison with previous literature, the gravity calculations are revisited for the Asteroid 4769 Castalia, but with extensions on its surface and on intersecting planes and spheres around it, using the polyhedron and harmonic ...

The nature and formation of silica minerals in eucrite meteorites: Insight into the protoplanetary magma crystallization

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Silica polymorphs in meteorites provide critical constraints on crystallization processes associated with thermal activity in the early solar system. A detailed investigation of silica polymorphs in eucrites (the largest group of achondrites) using cathodoluminescence imaging and laser‐Raman spectroscopy revealed significant variations in the ...

Ground-based Characterization of Hayabusa2 Mission Target Asteroid 162173 Ryugu: Constraining Mineralogical Composition in Preparation for Spacecraft Operations

open access: yes, 2017
Asteroids that are targets of spacecraft missions are interesting because they present us with an opportunity to validate ground-based spectral observations. One such object is near-Earth asteroid (NEA) (162173) Ryugu, which is the target of the Japanese

Century‐scale effect of climate change on meteorite falls

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change is inducing a global atmospheric contraction above the tropopause (~10 km), leading to systematic decrease in neutral air density. The impact of climate change on small meteoroids has already been observed over the last two decades, with documented shifts in their ablation altitudes in the mesosphere (~50–85 km) and lower ...

Investigation and reclassification of four mesosiderites—Implications for their formation

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Mesosiderites are rare, differentiated meteorites, so‐called stony‐iron meteorites—they are impact breccias composed of an unusual mix of crustal basalt and pyroxenite, core‐derived metal, but no mantle materials. This odd mixture makes their origin enigmatic and has inspired many different formation theories over the last several decades ...

Jovian Early Bombardment: planetesimal erosion in the inner asteroid belt

open access: yes, 2012
The asteroid belt is an open window on the history of the Solar System, as it preserves records of both its formation process and its secular evolution.

Petrography of phosphates in CI and CY carbonaceous chondrites

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Phosphate minerals are significant carriers of volatiles (e.g., OH) and halogens in chondritic material; however, their origin in most groups of carbonaceous chondrites remains poorly characterized. We have determined the abundance, morphology, texture, and composition of phosphate grains in aqueously altered CI chondrites and in hydrated and ...
