Volatile compositions of asteroids provide information on the Solar System history and the origins of Earth's volatiles. Visible to near‐infrared observations at wavelengths of 4) and low temperatures (10 au) and could be transported to their current ...

Trace element geochemistry of ordinary chondrite chondrules: the type I/type II chondrule dichotomy [PDF]
We report trace element concentrations of silicate phases in chondrules from LL3 ordinary chondrites Bishunpur and Semarkona. Results are similar to previously reported data for carbonaceous chondrites, with rare earth element (REE) concentrations ...

A divergent heritage for complex organics in Isheyevo lithic clasts [PDF]
Primitive meteorites are samples of asteroidal bodies that contain a high proportion of chemically complex organic matter (COM) including prebiotic molecules such as amino acids, which are thought to have been delivered to Earth via impacts during the ...

Grain Size Effects on UV–MIR (0.2–14 μm) Spectra of Carbonaceous Chondrite Groups
Carbonaceous chondrites are among the most important meteorite types and have played a vital role in deciphering the origin and evolution of our solar system.

Delivery of Dark Material to Vesta via Carbonaceous Chondritic Impacts
NASA's Dawn spacecraft observations of asteroid (4) Vesta reveal a surface with the highest albedo and color variation of any asteroid we have observed so far. Terrains rich in low albedo dark material (DM) have been identified using Dawn Framing Camera (

Exploring Exogenic Sources for the Olivine on Asteroid (4) Vesta
The detection of olivine on Vesta is interesting because it may provide critical insights into planetary differentiation early in our Solar System's history.

A geochemical study of the winonaites: Evidence for limited partial melting and constraints on the precursor composition [PDF]
The winonaites are primitive achondrites which are associated with the IAB iron meteorites. Textural evidence implies heating to at least the Fe, Ni–FeS cotectic, but previous geochemical studies are ambiguous about the extent of silicate melting in ...

Protracted Timescales for Nebular Processing of First-formed Solids in the Solar System
The calcium–aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) from chondritic meteorites are the first solids formed in the solar system. Rim formation around CAIs marks a time period in early solar system history when CAIs existed as free-floating objects and had not yet

Noble gases and nitrogen in material from asteroid Bennu
Abstract We report the elemental and isotopic abundances of all stable noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon) in eight particles from asteroid Bennu returned by NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission. We also report nitrogen abundances and isotopic ratios that were analyzed alongside neon and argon in four additional Bennu particles.
