The fall of the Haag (LL4‐6) chondrite breccia—Just 8 years after the nearby fall Stubenberg (LL6)
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract On October 24, 2024, an impressive fireball was visible over Austria. After the possible strewn field was calculated, the first sample of the Haag meteorite, with a mass of 8.76 g, was discovered on November 2, 2024, 8 days after the fireball event. Four more samples were found afterward putting the total sample mass at about 151 g.

New Paradigms For Asteroid Formation
, 2015 Asteroids and meteorites provide key evidence on the formation of planetesimals in the Solar System. Asteroids are traditionally thought to form in a bottom-up process by coagulation within a population of initially km-scale planetesimals.

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract We conducted a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study of sulfide–metal assemblages (SMAs) in minimally to moderately altered CR2 chondrites. The assemblages occur on chondrule rims and consist of kamacite cores rimmed by pyrrhotite.

Parent body thermal metamorphism of enstatite chondrites: Disentangling the effects of shock melting
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Enstatite chondrites (ECs) formed on at least two parent bodies, EH and EL. After the accretion of the EC parent bodies, EC material was subjected to varying degrees of parent body thermal metamorphism (measured by petrologic types 3–6), due to heat released by radioactive isotope decay.

Transport of First Rocks of The Solar System by X-winds [PDF]
, 2010 It has been suggested that chondrules and calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) were formed at the inner edge of the protoplanetary disk and then entrained in magnetocentrifugal X-winds. We study trajectories of such solid bodies with the consideration

Meteoritics and Planetary Science, 2018 Feldspar in ordinary chondrites (OCs) is often associated with thermal metamorphism, as a secondary mineral that forms from the crystallization of matrix and chondrule mesostasis.

Sulfur‐bearing serpentine in carbonaceous chondrites
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract A correlative multi‐technique approach, including electron microscopy and X‐ray synchrotron work, has been used to obtain both structural and compositional information of a sulfur‐bearing serpentine identified in several carbonaceous chondrites (Winchcombe CM2, Aguas Zarcas CM2, Ivuna CI, and Orgueil CI), and in Ryugu samples returned by the ...

Chondrule Destruction via Dust Collisions in Shock Waves
The Astrophysical JournalA leading candidate for the heating source of chondrules and igneous rims is shock waves. This mechanism generates high relative velocities between chondrules and dust particles.

PLANETESIMAL COLLISIONS AS A CHONDRULE FORMING EVENT [PDF]
, 2016 Chondritic meteorites contain unique spherical materials named chondrules: sub-mm sized silicate grains once melted in a high temperature condition in the solar nebula. We numerically explore one of the chondrule forming processes—planetesimal collisions.

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract A bright fireball was seen at 4:46 a.m. CET on November 19, 2020, over Austria, and also eye witnessed in Italy and Germany. The resulting Kindberg meteorite was the fifth well‐approved meteorite fall in Austria, and all rocks represent ordinary chondrites.
