The use of SEM/EDS method in mineralogical analysis of ordinary chondritic meteorite

open access: yesGeologija, 2009
The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersiveX-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) for determination of mineral phases according to their stoichiometry and assessment of mineral composition of ...

RETRACTED ARTICLE: A naturally occurring Al-Cu-Fe-Si quasicrystal in a micrometeorite from southern Italy

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Quasicrystals, solids with rotational symmetries forbidden for crystals, are usually synthesized in the laboratory by mixing specific ratios of selected elemental components in the liquid and quenching under strictly controlled protocols.

Davisite, CaScAlSiO_6, a new pyroxene from the Allende meteorite [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Davisite, ideally CaScAlSiO_6, is a new member of the Ca clinopyroxene group, where Sc^(3+) is dominant in the M1 site. It occurs as micro-sized crystals along with perovskite and spinel in an ultra-refractory inclusion from the Allende meteorite.

The Compositional Structure of the Asteroid Belt

open access: yes, 2015
The past decade has brought major improvements in large-scale asteroid discovery and characterization with over half a million known asteroids and over 100,000 with some measurement of physical characterization.

MATERIAL OF COMETARY NUCLEI AND ASTEROIDS CAN BE STUDIED IN THE EARTH’S ORBIT

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2019
The Solar system is formed from a pri- mary gas-dust cloud. Asteroids and cometary nuclei are made of the same substance. Therefore, the study of their debris will help determine their properties.

Accretion of Meteoric Organic Matter at the Surface of Mars and Potential Production of Methane by Ultraviolet Radiation

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
In this study, a comprehensive model of the meteoric organic cycle on Mars for the current geological period is developed, which characterizes the ablation of exogenous organic matter in the upper atmosphere, the accretion of intact carbon at the surface,

The Lake El’gygytgyn Scientific Drilling Project – Conquering Arctic Challenges through Continental Drilling

open access: yesScientific Drilling, 2011
Between October 2008 and May 2009, the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP)co-sponsored a campaign at Lake El´gygytgyn, located in a 3.6-Ma-old meteorite impact crater in northeastern Siberia. Drilling targets included three holes

Micromagnetic and microstructural analyses in chondrules of the Allende meteorite

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas, 2018
Results of micromagnetic and microstructural studies of individual chondrules from the Allende carbonaceous meteorite are presented. Allende is a member of the CV3 carbonaceous chondrites, and part of the oxidized meteorites with iron in silicates and ...

Forming the Noncarbonaceous Chondrite Parent Bodies in the Presence of the Jupiter Barrier

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Meteorites can be divided into two groups—noncarbonaceous chondrite like (NC) and carbonaceous chondrite like (CC)—with distinct stable-isotope compositions. Parent bodies of NC and CC meteorites have overlapping formation ages. This suggests they formed

Planetary Compositions - Clues from Meteorites and Asteroids

open access: yesZeitschrift für Naturforschung A, 1989
Abstract We review the chemical and mineralogical properties of primitive meteorites and chemical data for the Sun, Comet Halley and interplanetary dust particles. Regardless of where meteorites formed, concentrations of rock-forming elements in solar nebular solids could not have varied simply with distance from the Sun.
