Potential Chronological Disturbance of the D’Orbigny Angrite Inferred from Discordant 26Al Ages
Angrites originate from the early-formed differentiated angrite parent body. The pristine volcanic angrite D’Orbigny is devoid of brecciation, shock effects, or any evidence of secondary processes and is thus key for studying the early stages of ...

Neutron cross sections of importance to astrophysics [PDF]
Neutron reactions of importance to the various stellar burning cycles are discussed. The role of isomeric states in the branched s-process is considered for particular cases. Neutron cross section needs for the /sup 187/Re-/sup 187/Os, /sup 87/Rb-/sup 87/

NWA 11562: A Unique Ureilite with Extreme Mg-rich Constituents
A comprehensive study of an ungrouped achondrite meteorite, North West Africa (NWA) 11562, was conducted, involving petrology, mineralogy, and mass-independent chromium isotopic composition. NWA 11562 comprises 34.9 vol% olivine, 56.1 vol% pyroxenes, 6.7

White-dwarf asteroseismology: an update [PDF]
The vast majority of stars that populate the Universe will end their evolution as white-dwarf stars. Applications of white dwarfs include cosmochronology, evolution of planetary systems, and also as laboratories to study non-standard physics and ...

Erg Chech 002 (EC 002), an andesitic meteorite, has been dated to be the oldest magmatic rock in the solar system. However, controversy has arisen due to inconsistent dating results and isotopic compositions in previous studies, which complicates ...

Beryllium in turnoff stars of NGC 6397: Early Galaxy spallation, cosmochronology and cluster formation [PDF]
We present the first detection of beryllium in two turnoff stars of the old, metal-poor globular cluster NGC 6397. The beryllium lines are clearly detected and we determine a mean beryllium abundance of log(Be/H)=-12.35 +/- 0.2. The beryllium abundance is very similar to that of field stars of similar Fe content.

Nuclear Cosmochronology within Analytic Models of the Chemical Evolution of the Solar Neighborhood [PDF]
This paper investigates whether the age of the Galaxy can be deduced from natural radioactivity. I demonstrate that two recent influential claims (by Butcher and by Fowler) that such observations set the age at TG = 10 Gyr depend on special assumptions ...

Robust r-process Nucleosynthesis beyond Lanthanides in the Common Envelop Jet Supernovae
The common envelop jet supernovae (CEJSNe) r -process scenario has been proposed as an r -process nucleosynthesis site in the past decade. Jets launched by a neutron star that spirals in inside the core of a red supergiant star in a common envelope ...
