Thermal history, collisional history, and structure of the CK‐chondrite parent body

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Major chondrite groups (H, L, LL, R, EH, EL, CK) with some members of petrologic type 5 and 6 also have some members of types 3 and 4; they do not have members of type 1 or 2. Their parent bodies had onion‐shell structures and were internally heated by the decay of 26Al.

Chondrule size averaging in two and three dimensions

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Chondrule sizes are an important discriminant of chondrite groups and chondrule formation theories. Yet most studies report 2‐D sizes without attempting the somewhat tedious corrections to 3‐D proposed in the past literature. I show here that 3‐D size averages can be simply calculated directly from 2‐D averages of appropriate powers of sizes ...

Thermal history of an amoeboid olivine aggregate in the early solar nebula

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Carbonaceous chondrites commonly contain amoeboid olivine aggregates (AOAs). Here, we investigated an AOA in the CR chondrite Y‐793261. This AOA contains an unstable assemblage of forsterite and quartz. We found a rare occurrence of enstatite and quantitatively discuss its formation process.

Pułtusk H5 Chondrite—A Compilation of Chemical, Physical, and Thermophysical Data

Geosciences
The Pułtusk meteorite, classified as an H5 ordinary chondrite, is one of the best documented Polish falls, yet some important data on its physical and thermophysical properties remain limited.

Distribution and rare earth element abundances of apatite in Bennu samples determined by synchrotron X‐ray fluorescence spectroscopy

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Apatite is often the most rare earth element (REE)‐enriched mineral in chondritic meteorites. REE enrichment and fractionation levels in apatite grains can give insight into the aqueous fluids in which they formed and the conditions prevailing within the host body. In this study, we applied synchrotron X‐ray fluorescence (SXRF) spectroscopy to

Mössbauer Study of Weathered H-meteorite from the Desert of Oman

Sultan Qaboos University Journal for Science
A number of meteorites from the desert of Oman, classified as H-chondrites, with known and unknown ages, were studied by using 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy to determine their Fe3+-bearing compositions.

Chromites in ordinary-chondrite fusion crusts [PDF]

European Journal of Mineralogy
Chromites from ordinary chondrites of groups H4, H5, LL5, LL6, L3.6 and L6 were studied and compared to an H5 ordinary chondrite processed to form a synthetic fusion crust.

GROUPS OF METEORITE-PRODUCING METEOROIDS AND METEORITES IN ASTEROIDAL ORBITS AND THEIR SOURCES

Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2020
This paper presents the results of the analysis of possible existence of nine near-Earth meteorite-producing groups in asteroidal orbits, consisting of sporadic fireballs from the IAU MDC 2007 database, sporadic meteors from the SonotaCo database ...

VUV and mid‐UV photoabsorption cross sections of thin films of glycine and alanine: Application to their photochemistry in the solar system

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Thin solid films of pure glycine or alanine (thicknesses ranging from 10 to 700 nm) were prepared on MgF2 windows using a vacuum sublimation/recondensation method. VUV‐UV spectroscopy of these films enabled us to characterize new absorption cross sections for glycine and alanine for VUV‐UV radiations between 120 and 300 nm.

H+ irradiation of ordinary chondrites supporting observations of Torifune by Hayabusa2#

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. The Hayabusa2# mission has performed a flyby of the S-type asteroid Torifune, and thanks to the NIRS3 instrument, it has collected infrared spectra in the 3 μm region for the first time on such a small dry body. Aims.
