Modeling Chondrule Dust Rim Growth with Ellipsoidal Monomers

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Fine-grained dust rims (FGRs) surrounding chondrules in carbonaceous chondrites encode important information about early processes in the solar nebula.

Chondrule Formation in Bow Shocks around Eccentric Planetary Embryos

open access: yes, 2012
Recent isotopic studies of Martian meteorites by Dauphas & Pourmond (2011) have established that large (~ 3000 km radius) planetary embryos existed in the solar nebula at the same time that chondrules - millimeter-sized igneous inclusions found in ...

Spinel in CV chondrules: Investigating precursor legacy and chondrule thermal histories

open access: yesMeteoritics & Planetary Science, 2022
AbstractIn carbonaceous chondrites, Mg‐spinel (MgAl2O4) grains are ubiquitous in refractory inclusions but rarely reported in chondrules, where they may correspond to minerals either (i) inherited from chondrule precursors or (ii) crystallized from chondrule melts. Here, we report high‐current quantitative electron microprobe measurements and secondary

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 ...

The Origin and Physico-Chemical Properties of Some Unusual Earth Rock Fragments

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
In this paper, several researches were undertaken related to a violent phenomenon, characterized by a sonic boom, felt on an area of at least 500 km2, shortly followed by the fall of rock fragments that were then recovered from the ground.

Magnetic Fields Recorded by Chondrules Formed in Nebular Shocks

open access: yes, 2018
Recent laboratory efforts (Fu et al., 2014) have constrained the remanent magnetizations of chondrules and the magnetic field strengths at which the chondrules were exposed to as they cooled below their Curie points.

A Shocking Solar Nebula?

open access: yes, 2009
It has been suggested that shock waves in the solar nebula formed the high temperature materials observed in meteorites and comets. It is shown that the temperatures at the inner rim of the solar nebula could have been high enough over a sufficient ...

Microspherules Formed by Lightning Strikes

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Natural microspherules are formed by high‐temperature processes and are present throughout the geologic record to the present day. We report the discovery of large numbers of microspherules recovered from a rock pavement in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.

Chondrule Destruction via Dust Collisions in Shock Waves

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
A 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.
