Chondrule size and related physical properties: a compilation and evaluation of current data across all meteorite groups

, 2014
The examination of the physical properties of chondrules has generally received less emphasis than other properties of meteorites such as their mineralogy, petrology, and chemical and isotopic compositions.

Experimental constraints on the origin of metal and carbon in ureilite meteorites

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Ureilites are carbon‐rich ultramafic achondrites that display unique textures, including strips of metal and carbon phases situated along grain boundaries and in fractures. Shock metamorphism observed in ureilites suggests an episode of brittle deformation caused by impact disruption of their parent body.

Chromite in main group pallasite meteorites: Accessory mineral tracing planetesimal differentiation

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Main group pallasite meteorites (PMG) are samples of an early, highly differentiated magmatic planetesimal dominated by olivine and metal‐sulfide‐phosphide assemblages with accessory chromite among other phases. This mineralogy reflects mantle‐ and core‐related reservoirs, but the relative contributions of each and the overall petrogenesis are

Infrared diffuse reflectance spectra of several thermallymetamorphosed carbonaceous chondrites [PDF]

, 1992
Infrared diffuse reflectance spectra (2.53-25μm) were measured for several Antarctic carbonaceous chondrites. Thermally metamorphosed carbonaceous chondrites with CI-CM affinities (Belgica (B)-7904,Yamato (Y)-793321,Y-82162,and Y-86720), which were ...

Ground-based Characterization of Hayabusa2 Mission Target Asteroid 162173 Ryugu: Constraining Mineralogical Composition in Preparation for Spacecraft Operations

, 2017
Asteroids that are targets of spacecraft missions are interesting because they present us with an opportunity to validate ground-based spectral observations. One such object is near-Earth asteroid (NEA) (162173) Ryugu, which is the target of the Japanese

Parent body thermal metamorphism of enstatite chondrites: Disentangling the effects of shock melting

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Enstatite chondrites (ECs) formed on at least two parent bodies, EH and EL. After the accretion of the EC parent bodies, EC material was subjected to varying degrees of parent body thermal metamorphism (measured by petrologic types 3–6), due to heat released by radioactive isotope decay.

Mineralogical Characterization and Phase Angle Study of Two Binary Near-Earth Asteroids, Potential Targets for NASA’s Janus Mission

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023
Ground-based characterization of spacecraft targets prior to mission operations is critical to properly plan and execute measurements. Understanding surface properties, such as mineralogical composition and phase curves (expected brightness at different ...

JAXA curation for Bennu samples returned by the NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission successfully collected and returned ~121.6 g of bulk samples from the B‐type, near‐Earth asteroid (101955) Bennu to Earth in September 2023. Upon returning to Earth, the samples were transported to the NASA Johnson Space Center where most of the samples have been stored and processed.
