Dating and Tracing the Origin of Enstatite Chondrite Chondrules with Cr Isotopes [PDF]

open access: bronzeAstrophysical Journal, 2020
Chondrules are major components of chondrites and are believed to drive the accretion of planetary embryos. As such, constraining the timing and origin of chondrules is central for understanding the early evolution of the solar system and the formation ...

Classification of stony meteorites and chondrules – the case of meteorite Jesenice

open access: diamondGeologija, 2012
In the first part of the paper there is a description about genesis of meteorites, in particularly about stony meteorites– chondrites, since meteorite Jesenice is an ordinary L chondrite. Chondrules represent main part of the mass ofchondritic meteorites.

Chondrule Survivability in the Solar Nebula [PDF]

open access: greenThe Astrophysical Journal
The lifetime of millimeter-sized dust grains, such as chondrules, in the nominal solar nebula model is limited to ∼10 ^5 yr, due to an inward drift driven by gas drag.

Late Pebble Accretion of Comet 81P/Wild 2 Nucleus: Evidence from a Plagioclase-bearing Chondrule Fragment, Pyxie

open access: goldThe Astrophysical Journal
Comet 81P/Wild 2 is a ∼4.5 km-sized primordial object that almost has not been modified by internal heating by ^26 Al decay. Its nucleus could have been formed by hierarchical agglomeration or gravitational collapse of pebble swarms concentrated by ...

Early formation of planetary building blocks inferred from Pb isotopic ages of chondrules [PDF]

open access: yesScience Advances, 2017
Age dating of meteorite inclusions suggests rapid formation of the building blocks of terrestrial planets within 1 My of the Sun. The most abundant components of primitive meteorites (chondrites) are millimeter-sized glassy spherical chondrules formed by

Chondrules from high-velocity collisions: thermal histories and the agglomeration problem

open access: yes, 2021
We assess whether chondrules, once-molten mm-sized spheres filling the oldest meteorites, could have formed from super-km/s collisions between planetesimals in the solar nebula.

Bubbles to Chondrites-I. Evaporation and condensation experiments, and formation of chondrules

open access: yesProgress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2020
We propose a simple model of chondrule formation that is supported by our new experiments. With a laser-heating and inert-gas-cooling technique, we obtained evaporation and condensation pathways starting with chondritic compositions till ends, and ...

Origin of Isotopic Diversity among Carbonaceous Chondrites

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Carbonaceous chondrites are some of the most primitive meteorites and derive from planetesimals that formed a few million years after the beginning of the solar system.
