Microtextures and structures in metal–sulfide grains in NWA 869 meteorite and their relation to thermal history of L‐chondrite parent body

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 616-631, March 2025.
Abstract Results of microanalysis study of NWA 869 meteorite, an ordinary chondrite, where silicates, Fe‐Ni alloys, and troilite are major constituents, are reported. The presented study of microtextures in metallic and sulfide grains provides information on processes occurring from the asteroid's accretion, through the impacts until cooling.

Multi-messenger astrophysics of black holes and neutron stars as probed by ground-based gravitational wave detectors: from present to future

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
The ground-based gravitational wave (GW) detectors LIGO and Virgo have enabled the birth of multi-messenger GW astronomy via the detection of GWs from merging stellar-mass black holes (BHs) and neutron stars (NSs).

Textural and compositional characteristics of metallic spherules in impact melt from Monturaqui crater, Chile

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 646-662, March 2025.
Abstract Samples of impactite from the small (~350 m diameter) Monturaqui crater in northern Chile contain Fe‐Ni metallic spherules sourced from the iron meteorite impactor. Textural characterization and quantification were done using SEM and μCT data. Two textural types are distinguished, with different size distributions.

Evidence for Phosphate Metasomatism in an Olivine‐Rich Achondrites

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Brachinites, brachinite‐like achondrites (BLA), and other similar primitive achondrites offer important constraints on differentiation processes of the earliest formed planetesimals, as they quenched amidst early differentiation processes on their parent body. Geochemical data for all major mineral phases in two previously poorly characterized

Oued Chebeika 002: A new CI1 meteorite linked to outer solar system bodies

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract CI1 chondrites are rare meteorites with high scientific value. In fact, they are the most chemically primitive meteorites and show evidence of intense parent‐body aqueous alteration. They also share strong similarities with samples from Ryugu and Bennu asteroids returned by the JAXA Hayabusa2 and NASA's OSIRIS‐REx missions.

A complete inventory of institutional and public meteorite collections in Switzerland

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Museums and universities are important for collecting, maintaining, and curating meteorites. To make specimens known and available for research, inventorying and optimal curation are important. However, not all meteorite collections are well curated, especially in smaller institutions.

Textural coarsening as the cause for impact‐melt like plagioclase crystal size distributions and subtle layering in high‐Al basalt 14053

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract High‐Al Apollo 14 basalt 14053 has been identified as an endogenous partial melt product from the lunar interior based on geochemical analyses, specifically low abundances of highly siderophile elements, but exhibits textural characteristics similar to those of impact melts. Prior studies of this sample have described mineralogical differences
