The carbon chemistry of meteorites: Relationships to comets [PDF]

open access: yes
The carbonaceous meteorites exhibiting alteration by liquid water bear a strong relationship to comets. Not only is their elemental composition closer to solar in relative abundances than other meteorites, they are water rich; and they contain isotopic ...

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 ...

60Fe-60Ni chronology of core formation in Mars

open access: yes, 2014
The timescales of accretion, core formation, and magmatic differentiation in planetary bodies can be constrained using extinct radionuclide systems. Experiments have shown that Ni becomes more siderophile with decreasing pressure, which is reflected in ...

Experimental simulations of space weathering on pentlandite

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Pentlandite (Fe, Ni)9S8 is an important accessory mineral on asteroidal surfaces. It has been identified in returned regolith samples from asteroids Itokawa, Ryugu, and Bennu. Currently, systematic studies to understand the response of this mineral phase under space weathering conditions are lacking.

Experimental simulation of registration of objects of space

open access: yesФизика волновых процессов и радиотехнические системы, 2013
Developed a laboratory prototype onboard optical detection system of dust particles of space, space debris, meteorites, and the parameters of their motion, based on the stereoscopic effect.

Low‐temperature dissociation of zircon in highly alkaline conditions: A cautionary note for studies on natural glasses of debated origin

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Dissociated zircon is largely used as a robust indicator of glasses generated by impact cratering and airbursts. The reaction of zircon dissociation, i.e. ‘ZrSiO4 → ZrO2 + SiO2’, requires high temperatures (>1670°C) only reached by extreme geological processes. Using high‐temperature experiments, this study shows that zircon can dissociate and

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 ...
