Structure of the chondrules and the chemical composition of olivine in meteorite Jesenice

open access: yesGeologija, 2013
This paper presents a mineralogical analysis of various chondrule types and chemical analysis of olivine indifferent parts of meteorite Jesenice. Quantitative energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy with a scanning electronmicroscope was used in the ...

Gamma-ray bursts and X-ray melting of material as a potential source of chondrules and planets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The intense radiation from a gamma-ray burst (GRB) is shown to be capable of melting stony material at distances up to 300 light years which subsequently cool to form chondrules.

Kivesvaara C2 chondrite: silicate petrography and chemical composition [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1983
Fragments of the Kivesvaara meteorite were said to have been found in Paltamo, northern Finland in 1968. The chemical and mineral composition and the textural features show that this meteorite is a rare C2 carbonaceous chondrite.

Did a Complex Carbon Cycle Operate in the Inner Solar System?

open access: yesLife, 2020
Solids in the interstellar medium consist of an intimate mixture of silicate and carbonaceous grains. Because 99% of silicates in meteorites were reprocessed at high temperatures in the inner regions of the Solar Nebula, we propose that similar levels of

Size-selective concentration of chondrules and other small particles in protoplanetary nebula turbulence

open access: yes, 2000
Size-selective concentration of particles in a weakly turbulent protoplanetary nebula may be responsible for the initial collection of chondrules and other constituents into primitive body precursors. This paper presents the main elements of this process

Chondrule heritage and thermal histories from trace element and oxygen isotope analyses of chondrules and amoeboid olivine aggregates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We report combined oxygen isotope and mineral‐scale trace element analyses of amoeboid olivine aggregates (AOA) and chondrules in ungrouped carbonaceous chondrite, Northwest Africa 5958.

New knowledge about shock events that affected the L‐chondrite parent body from two heavily shocked L6 meteorite finds

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We report new results from a study of shock‐related features in the L6 ordinary chondrites Northwest Africa (NWA) 4672 and NWA 12841. Our observations confirm the occurrence of eight high‐pressure (HP) minerals in each meteorite, namely, ringwoodite, majorite, akimotoite, wadsleyite, albitic jadeite, lingunite, tuite, and xieite.

Forming Chondrites in a Solar Nebula with Magnetically Induced Turbulence

open access: yes, 2016
Chondritic meteorites provide valuable opportunities to investigate the origins of the solar system. We explore impact jetting as a mechanism of chondrule formation and subsequent pebble accretion as a mechanism of accreting chondrules onto parent bodies

3D SR‐μXCT analysis for lithology detection: Application to Ryugu sample A0159

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Extraterrestrial breccia samples are formed through impact‐related processes that combine the fragments of distinct lithologies. As such, they are valuable indicators of the complex formation and evolution history of planetesimals in our solar system.

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.
