A Model Study on the Dynamics of the Amino Acid Content in Micrometeoroids during Atmospheric Entry

open access: yesChemistry, 2020
A model for the survival of the amino acid content in micrometeorites and its possible transformations upon atmospheric entry is described. Since any organic species released in the atmosphere at high altitudes would exhibit a limited lifetime with ...

Orbital evolution of P\v{r}\'{i}bram and Neuschwanstein

open access: yes, 2011
The orbital evolution of the two meteorites P\v{r}\'{i}bram and Neuschwanstein on almost identical orbits and also several thousand clones were studied in the framework of the N-body problem for 5000 years into the past.

X‐ray computed tomography study of terrestrial analog cores in preparation for Mars sample return

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Mars Sample Return (MSR) is expected to transform planetary science by providing unprecedented access to pristine Martian material. Initial characterization in the sample receiving facility (SRF) will rely on nondestructive techniques such as X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to document the condition, distribution, and internal features of ...

Viroids-First—A Model for Life on Earth, Mars and Exoplanets

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
The search for extraterrestrial life, recently fueled by the discovery of exoplanets, requires defined biosignatures. Current biomarkers include those of extremophilic organisms, typically archaea.

Comprehensive report of the BELARE 2022-2023 meteorite reconnaissance expedition in the Sør Rondane area, East Antarctica

open access: yesAntarctic Record, 2023
We provide a comprehensive overview of a reconnaissance expedition aimed at identifying new possible meteorite stranding zones in the surrounding of the Belgian Princess Elisabeth Antarctica (PEA) station in the Sør Rondane Mountains during the BELARE ...

Characterization of Potential Micrometeorites by Synchrotron Analysis

open access: yesGeosciences, 2020
Micrometeorites (MMs) are small particles that account for most of the extraterrestrial material deposited on Earth. Synchrotron X-ray fluorescence and diffraction allowed for chemical and mineral characterization to distinguish MM from atmospheric ...

The effect of early diagenetic processes on the quantification of fossil micrometeorite abundance and flux in the geological record

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Fossil micrometeorites (MMs) recovered from lithified sedimentary rocks, particularly iron‐rich (I‐type) cosmic spherules (CSs) provide valuable insights into past dust‐forming events. Their abundances, when combined with estimates of local sedimentation rates can be used to reconstruct the flux of extraterrestrial dust.

Geochemistry and petrology of primitive achondrite meteorites LEW 88280, MAC 88177, ALHA 81187, EET 84302, and LEW 88663 [PDF]

open access: yes
Primitive achondrites are meteorites that have mineral and bulk chemical compositions similar to the most primitive meteorites (chondrites) but have textures similar to more evolved meteorites (achondrites).
