Multiple carriers of Q noble gases in primitive meteorites

open access: yes, 2015
The main carrier of primordial heavy noble gases in chondrites is thought to be an organic phase, known as phase Q, whose precise characterization has resisted decades of investigation.

Large Carbonaceous Chondrite Parent Bodies Favored by Abundance–Volatility Modeling: A Possible Chemical Signature of Pebble Accretion

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Primitive meteorite groups such as the Vigarano, Mighei, and Karoonda carbonaceous chondrites have enigmatic patterns of elemental abundances, with moderately volatile elements—those that transition from vapor to condensate between ∼400 and ∼900 K ...

The evolution of organic material on Asteroid 162173 Ryugu and its delivery to Earth

open access: yesNature Communications
The recent return of samples from asteroid 162173 Ryugu provides a first insight into early Solar System prebiotic evolution from known planetary bodies. Ryugu’s samples are CI chondrite-like, rich in water and organic material, and primarily composed of

Contribution of the Moon-forming Impactor to the Volatile Inventory in the Bulk Silicate Earth

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
The timing and mechanism by which the present-day inventory of life-essential volatiles hydrogen–carbon–nitrogen–sulfur (H–C–N–S) in the bulk silicate Earth (BSE) was established are debated.

Clues in the rare gas isotopes to early solar system history [PDF]

open access: yes
The results of the radioactive dating and the discovery of gas-rich meteorites on the Moon surface are reviewed. Special attention is paid to the extinct radioactivity iodine-129.

Multiwavelength JWST Observations of (3200) Phaethon Show a Dehydrated Object with an Aqueously Altered Origin

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
We present JWST observations of the near-Earth asteroid (3200) Phaethon using NIRCam, NIRSpec, and MIRI to further investigate the composition of Phaethon’s surface.
