Silicate–sulfide interaction within quenched melts of space weathered Ryugu grains

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The first few microns of the surface of airless bodies are subject to severe changes due to the harsh environment of space, known as space weathering. The Hayabusa2 sample return mission from the asteroid Ryugu provides the first opportunity to study these effects on a carbonaceous and hydrated body.

Selective sampling of asteroids, the Moon, and Mars: Factors affecting the numerical abundances of members of meteorite groups

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Meteorite collection inventories show that many related meteorite groups have very different numerical abundances (e.g., lunar versus Martian meteorites; Eagle Station pallasites versus main‐group pallasites; eucrites versus diogenites; ungrouped Antarctic irons versus ungrouped non‐Antarctic irons; carbonaceous chondrite‐related (CC) iron ...

Experimental simulations of space weathering on pentlandite

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Pentlandite (Fe, Ni)9S8 is an important accessory mineral on asteroidal surfaces. It has been identified in returned regolith samples from asteroids Itokawa, Ryugu, and Bennu. Currently, systematic studies to understand the response of this mineral phase under space weathering conditions are lacking.

Low‐temperature dissociation of zircon in highly alkaline conditions: A cautionary note for studies on natural glasses of debated origin

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Dissociated zircon is largely used as a robust indicator of glasses generated by impact cratering and airbursts. The reaction of zircon dissociation, i.e. ‘ZrSiO4 → ZrO2 + SiO2’, requires high temperatures (>1670°C) only reached by extreme geological processes. Using high‐temperature experiments, this study shows that zircon can dissociate and

Microbial preference for chlorate over perchlorate under simulated shallow subsurface Mars-like conditions

Scientific Reports
The Martian surface and shallow subsurface lacks stable liquid water, yet hygroscopic salts in the regolith may enable the transient formation of liquid brines.
