The Oxygen Isotopic Composition of Samples Returned from Asteroid Ryugu with Implications for the Nature of the Parent Planetesimal

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023
We present oxygen isotopic analyses of fragments of the near-Earth C _b -type asteroid Ryugu returned by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft that reinforce the close correspondence between Ryugu and CI chondrites.

Metamorphic or Igneous Zircon? Classification Through Rare Earth Elements, Machine Learning and Logistic Regression

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Zircon is a common, highly refractory accessory mineral found in sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks that forms through various processes (e.g., magmatic, hydrothermal, metamorphic growth and recrystallization). Trace element compositions of detrital zircon have been widely applied to understanding tectonic processes and continental ...

Post‐flight assessment of the OSIRIS‐REx Sample Return Capsule (SRC) for organic and other potential contaminants

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Regolith samples from the carbonaceous asteroid Bennu were stowed and delivered to Earth in the OSIRIS‐REx spacecraft's Sample Return Capsule (SRC). We applied multiple analytical techniques to study the components of the post‐flight SRC, with a focus on assessing the conditions and any contaminants to which the Bennu samples were exposed ...

Xenoliths in meteorites: Insights into the dynamics of material exchange between asteroids

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract A minor fraction of meteorites contains xenoliths, that is, clasts that were formed on a different parent body than that of the host lithology. The occurrence of xenoliths is direct evidence for the exchange of material between asteroids, including exchanges between asteroids from the carbonaceous (CC) and non‐carbonaceous (NC) reservoirs ...

A Microkrystite from the Australasian Tektite/Microtektite Strewn Field

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Microkrystites are glassy impact spherules. They contain primary crystallites carrying information on the physical and chemical conditions prevailing during vaporization, melting, and ejection in large impact cratering events. We report on the geochemistry and mineralogy down to nanometer scale of the first microkrystite (ODP1144A,14) from the

Geoelectrochemistry-driven alteration of amino acids to derivative organics in carbonaceous chondrite parent bodies

Nature Communications, 2022
Researchers at Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) discovered a chemical process that can explain the very low amino acid abundances in aqueously altered carbonaceous chondrites, deepening our understanding on the Solar System chemical evolution.

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

Meteoritics &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 ...

Metal size distributions in EH and EL chondrites

, 2003
EL chondrites exhibit larger average metal grain sizes than EH chondrites, a difference attributed by Easton to metamorphic coarsening, as most EL chondrites are equilibrated, and most EH chondrites are unequilibrated.

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

Meteoritics &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.
