The Twannberg iron meteorite strewn field in the Swiss Jura mountains: insights for Quaternary environmental conditions

open access: yesSwiss Journal of Geosciences, 2023
The ~ 10 km2 strewn field of the Twannberg type IIG iron meteorite is located in the Swiss Jura Mountains, 30 km northwest of Bern. The strewn field has been mapped by a group of citizen scientists since 2006, yielding more than 2000 meteorite fragments ...

Extraterrestrial hexamethylenetetramine in meteorites—a precursor of prebiotic chemistry in the inner solar system

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
This manuscript tackles the origin of organic molecules in carbonaceous meteorites. Identifying hexamethylenetetramine in three carbonaceous meteorites, the authors propose formation from ammonia and formaldehyde by photochemical and thermal reactions in

Variations in the Magnetic Properties of Meteoritic Cloudy Zone

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
Iron and stony‐iron meteorites form the Widmanstätten pattern during slow cooling. This pattern is composed of several microstructures whose length‐scale, composition and magnetic properties are dependent upon cooling rate.

Shock-Induced Degradation of Guanosine and Uridine Promoted by Nickel and Carbonate: Potential Applications

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
Experimental studies of the degradation of two ribonucleosides (guanosine and uridine) were carried out by making use of mechanochemistry. Mechanochemical experiments reveal the decomposition of guanosine and uridine, promoted by nickel(II) and carbonate

Stardust in meteorites [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011
Primitive meteorites, interplanetary dust particles, and comets contain dust grains that formed around stars that lived their lives before the solar system formed. These remarkable objects have been intensively studied since their discovery a little over twenty years ago and they provide samples of other stars that can be studied in the laboratory in ...

Study of Iron and Stony Meteorite Ablation Based on Simulation Experiments in an Arc Heater

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
To observe meteorite ablation, simulation experiments were conducted on the L5 ordinary chondrite and IAB-MG iron meteorites in an arc-heated facility and three flight conditions were reproduced.

Search and Collection of Yamato Meteorites, Antarctica, in October and November 1974

open access: yesAntarctic Record, 1976
From October 25, 1974 to January 17, 1975 a four-man party of the 15th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (1973-1975) made an oversnow traverse to the Yamato Mountains area for a systematic search for the Yamato meteorites and geological survey.
