Multiple carriers of Q noble gases in primitive meteorites [PDF]

, 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.

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

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

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

Progress 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 ...

Linking mineralogy and spectroscopy of highly aqueously altered CM and CI carbonaceous chondrites in preparation for primitive asteroid sample return

Meteoritics and Planetary Science, 2019
The highly hydrated, petrologic type 1 CM and CI carbonaceous chondrites likely derived from primitive, water‐rich asteroids, two of which are the targets for JAXA's Hayabusa2 and NASA's OSIRIS‐REx missions.

Laboratory mid-IR spectra of equilibrated and igneous meteorites. Searching for observables of planetesimal debris

, 2017
Meteorites contain minerals from Solar System asteroids with different properties (like size, presence of water, core formation). We provide new mid-IR transmission spectra of powdered meteorites to obtain templates of how mid-IR spectra of asteroidal ...

Solar System’s earliest solids as tracers of the accretion region of Ryugu and Ivuna-type carbonaceous chondrites

Communications Earth & Environment
Samples from the carbonaceous asteroid Ryugu and CI (Ivuna-type) chondrites are dominated by low-temperature, aqueously formed secondary minerals, with rare occurrences of anhydrous primary minerals that formed in the high-temperature region of the solar

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

BIO 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 ...

Pyrolytic nature of carbonaceous matter in carbonaceous chondrites and secondary metamorphsm [PDF]

, 1991
Major carbonaceous matter in five C2 carbonaceous chondrites (Y-791198,Y-74662,Murchison, B-7904,and Y-793321) and six C3 carbonaceous chondrites (Allende, Y-790992,Y-791717,Y-81020,ALH-77003,and ALH-77307) was investigated by pyrolysis-gas ...

Noble gases and nitrogen in material from asteroid Bennu

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
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.

Unique evidence of fluid alteration in the Kakowa (L6) ordinary chondrite

Scientific Reports, 2022
Meteorites preserve evidence of processes on their parent bodies, including alteration, metamorphism, and shock events. Here we show that the Kakowa (L6) ordinary chondrite (OC) preserves both shock-melt veins and pockets of detrital grains from a ...
