Water and hydroxyl on asteroid Bennu: Reconciling remote observations with OSIRIS‐REx sample analysis

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the spatial distribution and spectral characteristics of the broad hydration feature near 3 μm across the surface of asteroid (101955) Bennu using OVIRS (OSIRIS‐REx Visible and InfraRed Spectrometer) data. We analyzed multiple global OVIRS data sets obtained at different times throughout the Bennu day, revealing ...

Thermal history, collisional history, and structure of the CK‐chondrite parent body

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Major chondrite groups (H, L, LL, R, EH, EL, CK) with some members of petrologic type 5 and 6 also have some members of types 3 and 4; they do not have members of type 1 or 2. Their parent bodies had onion‐shell structures and were internally heated by the decay of 26Al.

Dating climatic change in hot deserts using desert varnish on meteorite finds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
A thin coating of desert varnish occurs on Forrest 009 and Nurina 004, both equilibrated ordinary chondrite (L6) finds from the Nullarbor Plain, Australia.

Petrography and mineral chemistry of Escalón meteorite, an H4 chondrite, México

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas, 2018
The Escalón meteorite, a crusted mass weighing 54.3 g, was recovered near Zona del Silencio in Escalón, state of Chihuahua, México. The stone is an ordinary chondrite belonging to the high iron group H, type 4.

Uncertainties in physical properties of Itokawa-like asteroids widen constraints on their formation time

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2023
One of the outstanding questions in planetary science is to determine how the fundamental mechanical and physical properties of materials determine the thermal evolution of asteroids, and which properties have the greatest influence.

Chondrule size averaging in two and three dimensions

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Chondrule sizes are an important discriminant of chondrite groups and chondrule formation theories. Yet most studies report 2‐D sizes without attempting the somewhat tedious corrections to 3‐D proposed in the past literature. I show here that 3‐D size averages can be simply calculated directly from 2‐D averages of appropriate powers of sizes ...

Mean atomic weight of Vicência LL3.2 chondrite [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Mean atomic weight Amean of Vicência (LL3.2 S1W0, fall 2013) ordinary chondrite has been calculated using literature data (Keil et al. 2015) on chemical composition of the meteorite and using relationships: between mean atomic weight and Fe/Si atomic ...

Ferropseudobrookite-silica mineral-albite-chondrule in the ALH-77015 chondrite (L3) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
P(論文)Ferropseudobrookite-silica mineral-albite-chondrule was found in an unequilibraed (L3) chondrite (ALH-77015). This is the first finding of ferropseudobrookite in chondrite. The ferropseudobrookite exhibits a weakly zonal structure.

Thermal history of an amoeboid olivine aggregate in the early solar nebula

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Carbonaceous chondrites commonly contain amoeboid olivine aggregates (AOAs). Here, we investigated an AOA in the CR chondrite Y‐793261. This AOA contains an unstable assemblage of forsterite and quartz. We found a rare occurrence of enstatite and quantitatively discuss its formation process.
