Insights on the volcanic and impact histories of the lunar nearside from the petrology, geochemistry, and geochronology of the Calcalong Creek lunar regolith breccia meteorite

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 392-421, March 2025.
Abstract The Calcalong Creek lunar meteorite is a regolith breccia with a lithologically diverse array of clasts set in a glassy, highly vesicular matrix. Here, we present a comprehensive new analysis of the meteorite. Comparisons to remote sensing data, lunar sample lithologies, and lunar sample ages indicate that it was likely sourced from regolith ...

Using X‐ray computed microtomography (μCT) to determine subsample‐specific cosmogenic noble gas production rates of E (enstatite) chondrites

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 442-463, March 2025.
Abstract Cosmic ray exposure (CRE) ages provide information about the parent bodies and source regions of meteorite classes. Cosmogenic noble gases are often used to quantify exposure time scales ranging from tens of ka to hundreds of Ma. The production rate of cosmogenic noble gases is primarily controlled by a meteorite's chemical composition ...

A primitive asteroid that lived fast and died young sampled by a xenolith in the Cold Bokkeveld CM2 carbonaceous chondrite

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 464-483, March 2025.
Abstract Xenoliths in carbonaceous chondrites include lithologies that are unrepresented in the meteorite record and so are a rich source of information on asteroid diversity. Cold Bokkeveld is a CM2 regolith breccia that contains both hydrous and anhydrous lithic clasts. Here, we describe a hydrous clast with a fine‐grained rim.

Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology: Cosmic Laboratories for New Physics (Summary of the Snowmass 2001 P4 Working Group)

open access: yes, 2002
The past few years have seen dramatic breakthroughs and spectacular and puzzling discoveries in astrophysics and cosmology. In many cases, the new observations can only be explained with the introduction of new fundamental physics. Here we summarize some

Iron and copper sulfides in asteroid (162173) Ryugu: Formation conditions and a comparison to the CI and CY chondrites

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 506-528, March 2025.
Abstract JAXA's Hayabusa2 sample return mission visited the volatile‐rich carbonaceous (C‐type) asteroid (162173) Ryugu with the aim of ground‐truthing remote observations, returning a pristine sample from a C‐type asteroid, and strengthening links between asteroids and the meteorite collection. Here, we have conducted a systematic study of coarse (>10

The solar system Fe/Mg ratio

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 529-543, March 2025.
Abstract Solar wind Fe and Mg fluences (atoms/cm2) were measured from Genesis collectors. Fe and Mg have similar first ionization potentials and solar wind Fe/Mg should equal the solar ratio. Solar wind Fe/Mg is a more valid measure of solar composition than CI chondrites and can be measured more accurately than spectroscopic photospheric abundances ...
