Initial study of regolith exposure ages and burial conditions on Ryugu: Cosmogenic nuclides score in two touchdowns

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Surface processes on the asteroid Ryugu have been investigated using cosmic‐ray‐produced radionuclides, 10Be, 26Al, and 36Cl, and stable noble gases, on eight samples returned by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft. The 10Be and 26Al along with 21Ne measurements indicate that the two Chamber A samples A0105 collected during the first touchdown (TD) were ...

Model Calculations for Cosmogenic Nuclides in Meteorites and the Lunar Surface. 1. Long‐lived Radionuclides

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Production rates for the cosmogenic radionuclides 10Be, 14C, 26Al, 36Cl, 41Ca, 53Mn, and 60Fe in a large variety of meteorites, that is, ordinary chondrites (H, L, LL), carbonaceous chondrites, HED meteorites, ureilites, Martian meteorites, and iron meteorites and in the uppermost ~2 m of the lunar surface are modeled.

Achondrites in meteor data: Spectra, dynamics, and physical properties of candidate aubrite and eucrite impactors

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Meteor spectroscopy presents new opportunities for investigating the diversity of small Solar System bodies and capturing the real distribution of present material types. In this work, we analyzed a sample of 180 higher-resolution meteor spectra from the

Microspherules Formed by Lightning Strikes

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Natural microspherules are formed by high‐temperature processes and are present throughout the geologic record to the present day. We report the discovery of large numbers of microspherules recovered from a rock pavement in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.

Modeling Atmospheric Alteration on Titan: Hydrodynamics and Shock-induced Chemistry of Meteoroid Entry

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Meteoroid entry into planetary atmospheres generates bow shocks, resulting in high-temperature gas conditions that drive chemical reactions. In this paper, we perform three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of meteoroid entry using the Athena++ code ...

Terrestrial ages of meteorites from the Atacama Desert (Chile) and insights into the past meteorite flux to Earth

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Atacama Desert in Chile is characterized by its high meteorite density and old meteorite terrestrial ages. In this work, we present new terrestrial ages derived from measurements of the concentration of cosmogenic 36Cl in the metal fraction of 51 ordinary chondrites collected over a 6.8 km2 area located in the Catalina Dense Collection ...

Microbial Endolithic Community at Meteor Crater

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Postimpact recovery and evolution in response to climate changes produced a modern ecosystem at Meteor Crater dominated by a grassland and woodland of piñon and juniper, which has been used to evaluate floral and megafaunal consequences of impact cratering during the Phanerozoic Eon of complex life.

Meteoroid Streams Sculpt the Inner Zodiacal Cloud

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
The abundance of dust encountered by Parker Solar Probe in the inner zodiacal cloud exhibits persistent variability of ∼50% on timescales of its ∼100 day orbits.
