Refractory inclusions in carbonaceous chondrites: Records of early solar system processes
Meteoritics and Planetary Science, 2019 Chondrites consist of three major components: refractory inclusions (Ca,Al‐rich inclusions [CAIs] and amoeboid olivine aggregates), chondrules, and matrix.

Insights into secondary reactions occurring during atmospheric ablation of micrometeoroids [PDF]
, 2016 Ablation of micrometeoroids during atmospheric entry yields volatile gases such as water, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide, capable of altering atmospheric chemistry and hence the climate and habitability of the planetary surface.

Tetrataenite in carbonaceous chondrites.
Proceedings 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

Life, 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 ...

Hydrogen Isotopic Composition of Hydrous Minerals in Asteroid Ryugu
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Rock fragments of the Cb-type asteroid Ryugu returned to Earth by the JAXA Hayabusa2 mission share mineralogical, chemical, and isotopic properties with the Ivuna-type (CI) carbonaceous chondrites.

The iron record of asteroidal processes in carbonaceous chondrites [PDF]
Meteoritics and Planetary Science, 2019 The valence of iron has been used in terrestrial studies to trace the hydrolysis of primary silicate rocks. Here, we use a similar approach to characterize the secondary processes, namely thermal metamorphism and aqueous alteration, that have affected ...

Clasts in the CM2 carbonaceous chondrite Lonewolf Nunataks 94101: evidence for aqueous alteration prior to complex mixing [PDF]
, 2013 Clasts in the CM2 carbonaceous chondrite Lonewolf Nunataks (LON) 94101 have been characterized using scanning and transmission electron microscopy and electron microprobe analysis to determine their degrees of aqueous alteration, and the timing of ...

Alkali magmatism on a carbonaceous chondrite planetesimal [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2020 SignificanceIn spite of magnetic and isotopic evidence revealing connections between the most primitive outer Solar System materials and differentiated bodies with a layered structure akin to terrestrial planets, the meteoritic record lacks samples that document the initiation of partial melting and the onset of planetary differentiation.

Trace element geochemistry of ordinary chondrite chondrules: the type I/type II chondrule dichotomy [PDF]
, 2015 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 ...

Roughness and Angularity of Fragments from Meteorite Disruption Experiments
The 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 ...
