Cooling of Dense Gas by H2O Line Emission and an Assessment of its Effects in Chondrule-Forming Shocks

, 2008
We consider gas at densities appropriate to protoplanetary disks and calculate its ability to cool due to line radiation emitted by H2O molecules within the gas. Our work follows that of Neufeld & Kaufman (1993; ApJ, 418, 263), expanding on their work in

New Zealand's Second Meteorite: Makarewa (find, L4, S5, W2)

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
One of the most remarkable discoveries of a meteorite in New Zealand was that of Makarewa. Discovered in 1879, Makarewa is a ‘find’ that was uncovered a metre below the surface of a clay bank during excavation works for a train line in the southern South Island.

Reproduction Experiments of Radial Pyroxene Chondrules Using a Gas-jet Levitation System under Reduced Conditions

The Astrophysical Journal
Reproduction experiments of radial pyroxene (RP) chondrules were carried out using an Ar–H _2 or Ar gas-jet levitation system in a reducing atmosphere in order to simulate chondrule formation in the protoplanetary disk.

The distribution of asteroids: evidence from Antarctic micrometeorites [PDF]

, 2002
The relative abundances of types amongst 550 AMMs are reported. These suggest that C-type asteroids vary from petrologic type 1 to 3.2 and that the majority of S-type asteroids are chondrule ...

Forming chondrules in impact splashes. I. Radiative cooling model

, 2014
The formation of chondrules is one of the oldest unsolved mysteries in meteoritics and planet formation. Recently an old idea has been revived: the idea that chondrules form as a result of collisions between planetesimals in which the ejected molten ...

Exploring the Interior Structure of (16) Psyche Through Basin‐Scale Collisions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Asteroid (16) Psyche, the largest member of the M/X‐type asteroids, may be the leftover core of a differentiated planetesimal. As such (16) Psyche will be explored in detail by NASA's discovery‐class Psyche mission in 2029. This will be the first mission to orbit a metal‐rich asteroid, or any asteroid in the 100–500 km size range.

Forming Chondrites in a Solar Nebula with Magnetically Induced Turbulence

, 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

Apatite in Bennu samples indicates multiple stages of aqueous alteration

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 504-521, March 2026.
Abstract Calcium phosphates are ubiquitous in planetary materials, including samples returned from asteroid Bennu by the OSIRIS‐REx mission. We characterized apatite [Ca5(PO4)3(F,Cl,OH)] grains in Bennu samples by scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe analysis, and transmission electron microscopy to investigate their compositions, mineral ...

Mineral Processing by Short Circuits in Protoplanetary Disks

, 2013
Meteoritic chondrules were formed in the early solar system by brief heating of silicate dust to melting temperatures. Some highly refractory grains (Type B calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions, CAIs) also show signs of transient heating.

Geochemical and petrographic re‐evaluation of ungrouped iron meteorites from Western Australia

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 444-465, March 2026.
Abstract Under the current classification scheme, ungrouped irons make up ~11% of all recognized iron meteorites. A further ~7% of iron meteorites are currently classified as simply “irons” and are yet to be fully classified. To potentially classify these meteorites, newer approaches, including either statistical modeling or advanced geochemical ...
