3D SR‐μXCT analysis for lithology detection: Application to Ryugu sample A0159

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Extraterrestrial breccia samples are formed through impact‐related processes that combine the fragments of distinct lithologies. As such, they are valuable indicators of the complex formation and evolution history of planetesimals in our solar system.

Movement of Trace Elements During Residence in the Antarctic Ice: a Laboratory Simulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
Recent work has determined that differences in the trace element distribution between Antarctic eucrites and non-Antarctic eucrites may be due to weathering during residence in the ice, and samples that demonstrate trace element disturbances do not ...

Laboratory mid-IR spectra of equilibrated and igneous meteorites. Searching for observables of planetesimal debris

open access: yes, 2017
Meteorites contain minerals from Solar System asteroids with different properties (like size, presence of water, core formation). We provide new mid-IR transmission spectra of powdered meteorites to obtain templates of how mid-IR spectra of asteroidal ...

Noble gases and nitrogen in material from asteroid Bennu

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We report the elemental and isotopic abundances of all stable noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon) in eight particles from asteroid Bennu returned by NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission. We also report nitrogen abundances and isotopic ratios that were analyzed alongside neon and argon in four additional Bennu particles.

The fall of the Haag (LL4‐6) chondrite breccia—Just 8 years after the nearby fall Stubenberg (LL6)

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract On October 24, 2024, an impressive fireball was visible over Austria. After the possible strewn field was calculated, the first sample of the Haag meteorite, with a mass of 8.76 g, was discovered on November 2, 2024, 8 days after the fireball event. Four more samples were found afterward putting the total sample mass at about 151 g.

Schreibersite: an effective catalyst in the formose reaction network

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2018
We report on the ability of the meteoritic material schreibersite to catalyze the generation of higher sugars from simple carbohydrates in the formose reaction network.

Sulfide–Metal Assemblages on CR2 Chondrule Rims: Products of Nebular Fission–Sulfidization and Parent Body Oxidation–Serpentinization

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We conducted a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study of sulfide–metal assemblages (SMAs) in minimally to moderately altered CR2 chondrites. The assemblages occur on chondrule rims and consist of kamacite cores rimmed by pyrrhotite.

The Maribo CM2 meteorite fall - survival of weak material at high entry speed

open access: yes, 2019
High entry speed (> 25 km/s) and low density (< 2500 kg/m3) are two factors that lower the chance of a meteoroid to drop meteorites. The 26 g carbonaceous (CM2) meteorite Maribo recovered in Denmark in 2009 was delivered by a superbolide observed by ...

The effect of aqueous alteration and metamorphism in the survival of presolar silicate grains in chondrites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Relatively small amounts (typically between 2-200 parts per million) of presolar grains have been preserved in the matrices of chondritic meteorites.

Experimental constraints on the origin of metal and carbon in ureilite meteorites

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Ureilites are carbon‐rich ultramafic achondrites that display unique textures, including strips of metal and carbon phases situated along grain boundaries and in fractures. Shock metamorphism observed in ureilites suggests an episode of brittle deformation caused by impact disruption of their parent body.
