The effect of pressure on dihedral angle between liquid Fe‐S and orthopyroxene: Implication for percolative core formation in planetesimals and planetary embryos

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract During precursor stages of planet formation, many planetesimals and planetary embryos are considered to have differentiated, forming an iron‐alloy core and silicate mantle. Percolation of liquid iron‐alloy in solid silicates is one of the major possible differentiation processes in these small bodies.

Nature's Starships II: Simulating the Synthesis of Amino Acids in Meteorite Parent Bodies

open access: yes, 2015
Carbonaceous chondrite meteorites are known for having high water and organic material contents, including amino acids. Here we address the origin of amino acids in the warm interiors of their parent bodies (planetesimals) within a few million years of ...

A mutli-technique search for the most primitive CO chondrites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
As part of a study to identify the most primitive COs and to look for weakly altered CMs amongst the COs, we have conducted a multi-technique study of 16 Antarctic meteorites that had been classified as primitive COs. For this study, we have determined: (

The Qingzhen reaction, a fine‐grained mineral assemblage associated with djerfisherite in some EH3 chondrites: Alteration on the EH parent body

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Enstatite chondrites formed under extremely reducing conditions in the protoplanetary disk. They are derived from two or more parent bodies, EH and EL, and both EH and EL groups contain petrologic type 3–6 samples. The rare lithophile‐ and halogen‐bearing sulfide, djerfisherite, occurs in low abundance in enstatite chondrites, most frequently ...

Rare Phosphides and Nitrides in Igneous Clasts within Aqueously Altered Chondrites

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Chondritic meteorites and their components provide us with the means to investigate the conditions and processes in the early solar system, including the delivery of bio-essential elements, such as phosphorus, to the early Earth.

Nondestructive analysis of Bennu samples toward comparative studies with Ryugu samples

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Analyzing primitive extraterrestrial samples from asteroids is key to understanding the evolution of the early solar system. The OSIRIS‐REx mission returned samples from the B‐type asteroid Bennu, providing a valuable opportunity to compare them with the Ryugu samples collected by the Hayabusa2 mission.

Facies mosaic distribution and stratigraphic disorder of a mixed carbonate–siliciclastic tidal succession

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Complex stratigraphic arrangements may be generated through lateral facies transitions from the strata of aeolian depositional systems into bordering peritidal deposits. In such scenarios, sedimentary architectural complexity and associated facies heterogeneities are governed by the interplay between autogenic processes inherent to tidal ...

Composition of Near-Earth Asteroid 2008 EV5: Potential target for Robotic and Human Exploration

open access: yes, 2012
We observed potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) 2008 EV5 in the visible (0.30-0.92 microns) and near-IR (0.75-2.5 microns) wavelengths to determine its surface composition. This asteroid is especially interesting because it is a potential target for two
