The Winchcombe meteorite, a unique and pristine witness from the outer solar system

open access: yesScience Advances, 2022
Direct links between carbonaceous chondrites and their parent bodies in the solar system are rare. The Winchcombe meteorite is the most accurately recorded carbonaceous chondrite fall. Its pre-atmospheric orbit and cosmic-ray exposure age confirm that it

Identification of meteorite source regions in the Solar System [PDF]

open access: yesIcarus (New York, N.Y. 1962), 2018
Over the past decade there has been a large increase in the number of automated camera networks that monitor the sky for fireballs. One of the goals of these networks is to provide the necessary information for linking meteorites to their pre-impact ...

The Non-carbonaceous–Carbonaceous Meteorite Dichotomy

open access: yes, 2020
The isotopic dichotomy between non-carbonaceous (NC) and carbonaceous (CC) meteorites indicates that meteorite parent bodies derive from two genetically distinct reservoirs, which presumably were located inside (NC) and outside (CC) the orbit of Jupiter ...
