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

Estimating the Net Magnetic Moment of Geological Samples From Planar Field Maps Using Multipoles

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023
Recent advances in magnetic microscopy have enabled studies of geological samples whose weak and spatially nonuniform magnetizations were previously inaccessible to standard magnetometry techniques.

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

open access: yes, 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

Graphite crystallinity and thermal record in Campo del Cielo IAB iron meteorite: A window into impact processing on a chondritic body

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 300-316, February 2026.
Abstract The Campo del Cielo iron meteorite (IAB‐MG) provides a unique window into early solar system processes, particularly the formation and evolution of carbon phases in non‐magmatic iron meteorites. In this study, we conducted a systematic nanostructural investigation of three distinct graphite occurrences—cliftonite (type I), interstitial ...

The Short Circuit Instability in Protoplanetary Disks: Processing high temperature minerals

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
We introduce a magneto-hydrodynamic instability which occurs, among other locations, in the inner, hot regions of protoplanetary disks, and which alters the way in which resistive dissipation of magnetic energy into heat proceeds.

Textural and minerochemical features of NWA 1807 and 2180, two new CV3 chondrites from northwest Africa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A textural and minerochemical study has been performed on NWA 1807 and 2180 chondrites in order to determine sizes and typologies of chondrules, relative abundances of mineral phases, compositions of main phases and bulk oxygen isotope ...

Abundance, distribution, and origin of 60Fe in the solar protoplanetary disk

open access: yes, 2012
Meteorites contain relict decay products of short-lived radionuclides that were present in the protoplanetary disk when asteroids and planets formed. Several studies reported a high abundance of 60Fe (t1/2=2.62+/-0.04 Myr) in chondrites (60Fe/56Fe~6*10-7)

Planetesimal Impact Vapor Plumes and Nebular Shocks Form Chondritic Mixtures

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
The origin of chondrules and the chondritic sedimentary rocks that dominate the meteoritic record is a long-standing problem in planetary science. Here, we develop a physical model for the formation of chondritic mixtures as an outcome of vaporizing ...

Kindberg, the fifth meteorite fall in Austria: A weakly shocked L6 chondrite breccia with high‐pressure phases

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 17-38, January 2026.
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.

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

open access: yes, 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 ...
