Stability toward High Energy Radiation of Non-Proteinogenic Amino Acids: Implications for the Origins of Life

open access: yesLife, 2013
A series of non-proteinogenic amino acids, most of them found quite commonly in the meteorites known as carbonaceous chondrites, were subjected to solid state radiolysis in vacuum to a total radiation dose of 3.2 MGy corresponding to 23% of the total ...

The message of oldhamites from enstatite chondrites

open access: yesProgress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2022
We have determined rare-earth element (REE) abundances in oldhamites (CaS) from 13 unequilibrated and equilibrated enstatite chondrites (5 EH and 8 EL) and in a few enstatites by in situ, laser ablation ICP-MS.

Space Weathering Simulation Trends on Carbonaceous Chondrites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Space weathering on primitive asteroids is an ongoing area of research. Primitive asteroids have low geometric albedo (= 0.15) and mostly featureless visible spectra (~0.5 - 0.9 µm) (Campins et al. 2018).

Roughness and Angularity of Fragments from Meteorite Disruption Experiments

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
In this study, we set out to explore the relationship between fracture roughness and sample strength. We analyze 45 fragments of Aba Panu, Allende, and Tamdakht, three meteorites that have been strength-tested to disruption, to determine whether their ...

Tetrataenite in carbonaceous chondrites.

open access: yesProceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B, 1990
Presence of tetrataenite grains has been recently confirmed in Yamato 791717 carbonaceous (CO3) chondrite. The observed coexistence of tetrataenite fine grains with more abundant magnetite and kamacite in this CO3 chondrite suggests that the tetrataenite grains were directly formed by a coalescence process of Fe and Ni fine particle smokes in the solar

Mineralogical alteration of CM carbonaceous chondrites: A view [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
P(論文)CM carbonaceous chondrites have been considerably affected by aqueous alteration, probably on the regolith of their parent body or bodies. The aqueous alteration resulted in the alteration of anhydrous silicates, metal, and sulfides, producing a ...

The Nitrogen Heterocycle Content of Meteorites and Their Significance for the Origin of Life

open access: yesLife, 2018
Carbonaceous chondrites are very primitive meteorites that are rich in carbon. They contain many soluble organic compounds, including nitrogen heterocycles.

Organic material in meteorites and the link to the origin of life

open access: yesBIO Web of Conferences, 2014
Life requires specific conditions that have been, so far, only proven to meet on Earth. Though the chemical elements required to form living organism (C, H, N, O, S, etc) are widespread in the universe, the molecules that are crucial for Life, like ...

Enstatite chondrites: condensation and metamorphism under extremely reducing conditions and contributions to the Earth

open access: yesProgress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2022
Enstatite chondrites are a small clan of meteorites, only ~ 1% out of all meteorite collection. However, they are the most reduced meteorites and have almost identical isotopic compositions to those of the Earth, suggestive of significant contributions ...

Carbonaceous Chondrites Provide Evidence for Late-stage Planetesimal Formation in a Pressure Bump

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Carbonaceous chondrites are samples from planetesimals that formed 2–4 million years after solar system formation began. They consist of distinct dust components formed at different times and locations in the accretion disk, and whose abundances in ...
