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

open access: yes, 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.

Search for the H Chondrite Parent Body among the Three Largest S-type Asteroids: (3) Juno, (7) Iris, and (25) Phocaea

open access: yesAstronomical Journal, 2019
Linking meteorites to source regions in the main asteroid belt is important for understanding the conditions under which their parent bodies formed. Ordinary chondrites are the most abundant class of meteorites on Earth, totaling 86% of all collected ...

Trace element composition of troilite, iron and iron-nickel metall from meteorite Chelyabinsk

open access: yesЛитосфера, 2015
We studied the contents of trace elements in troilite, iron and in iron-nickel metal from meteorite Chelyabinsk by means of LA-ICP-MS. The features of the distribution of siderophile and chalcophile elements in sulfide and metallic phase in gray and ...

Fluid evolution in CM carbonaceous chondrites tracked through the oxygen isotopic compositions of carbonates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The oxygen isotopic compositions of calcite grains in four CM carbonaceous chondrites have been determined by NanoSIMS, and results reveal that aqueous solutions evolved in a similar manner between parent body regions with different intensities of ...

Northwest Africa 11024—A heated and dehydrated unique carbonaceous (CM) chondrite

open access: yesMeteoritics and Planetary Science, 2018
Based on the high abundance of fine‐grained material and its dark appearance, NWA 11024 was recognized as a CM chondrite, which is also confirmed by oxygen isotope measurements.

Near to Mid-infrared Spectroscopy of (65803) Didymos as Observed by JWST: Characterization Observations Supporting the Double Asteroid Redirection Test

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
The Didymos binary asteroid was the target of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission, which intentionally impacted Dimorphos, the smaller member of the binary system.

Discovery of the Fe-analogue of akimotoite in the shocked Suizhou L6 chondrite

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
We report the first natural occurrence of the Fe-analogue of akimotoite, ilmenite-structured MgSiO3, a missing phase among the predicted high-pressure polymorphs of Fe-pyroxene, with the composition (Fe2+0.48Mg0.37Ca0.04Na0.04Mn2+0.03Al0.03Cr3+0.01)Σ=1 ...

Study of the Extraterrestrial Materials at Antarctica, III : On the Yamato Meteorites

open access: yesAntarctic Record, 1973
Antarctica is thought to be the most suitable place for searching extraterrestrial materials. Since 1965, we have been studying microtektite and cosmic dust in Antarctica.

The Compositional Structure of the Asteroid Belt

open access: yes, 2015
The past decade has brought major improvements in large-scale asteroid discovery and characterization with over half a million known asteroids and over 100,000 with some measurement of physical characterization.

Early aqueous activity on the ordinary and carbonaceous chondrite parent bodies recorded by fayalite

open access: yesNature Communications, 2015
Chronology of aqueous activity on chondrite parent bodies constrains their accretion times and thermal histories. Radiometric 53Mn–53Cr dating has been successfully applied to aqueously formed carbonates in CM carbonaceous chondrites.
