EVOLUTION OF COMET-LIKE ORBITS OF METEORITE- PRODUCING GROUPS AND THEIR PARENT BODIES

Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2019
This paper presents the results of the study of evolution of Jupiter-family comet-like orbits of six meteorite-producing groups, including sporadic fireballs from the IAU MDC database 2007 [1], sporadic meteors from the SonataCo database [2 ...

Origin and formation of a chondritic xenolith in Krymka (LL3.2, breccia): Indications for a late formation of the accretionary breccia

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract An unusual chondritic xenolith was found in two sequentially prepared thin sections of a sample from the Krymka (LL3.2) chondrite. The xenolith has a rounded, slightly deformed shape of about 5 mm in apparent diameter and is partially surrounded by a double rim made of an inner fine‐grained silicate‐rich rim and an outer sulfide‐rich rim.

Sorting and recycling processes of early inner Solar System materials

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Within pristine chondrites, chondrules and a fine-grained matrix are the dominant components; however, their genetic relationship remains unresolved.

Potassium isotopic compositions and exposure ages of evolved and silica‐rich achondrites

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Some of the oldest igneous rocks in the Solar System include evolved and silica‐rich achondrites that originate from parent bodies less than 1000 km in diameter, referred to as planetesimals. While Earth was initially in a molten state and required continental crust formation and plate tectonics to generate andesite bulk compositions, evolved ...

Impact provenance and age of a unique basalt found in Apollo 12 regolith

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Basaltic sample 12032,366‐18 from the Apollo 12 landing site is distinct among basalts collected at this site, other Apollo landing sites, and lunar meteorites in terms of its age, bulk rock composition, and isotopic composition. We present new Pb isotopic data obtained by in situ Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry on multiple mineral phases in ...

Spectral Reflectance Properties (0.3–2.5 μm) of LL Ordinary Chondrites

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Spectral characterization of asteroids relies on meteorite spectral calibration to constrain their surface mineralogy. We have conducted a comprehensive spectroscopic study of LL chondrites to shed light on the factors that control their reflectance ...

Microstructural evidence for multiple generations of sulfide precipitation and impact‐induced thermal alteration under acidic conditions on Asteroid Ryugu

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Here we report on the microstructure and chemistry of sulfide minerals returned from asteroid (162173) Ryugu. We identify a unique sulfide population in particle A0016 composed of violarite (FeNi2S4), pyrite (FeS2), chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), pyrrhotite (Fe1‐xS), and pentlandite ([Fe,Ni]9S8).

Crystallization of dmisteinbergite (hexagonal CaAl2Si2O8) from type B CAI analog melt

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Dmisteinbergite is a metastable polymorph of CaAl2Si2O8, which has been found in calcium−aluminum‐rich inclusions (CAIs) in chondrites, although anorthite is the predominant CaAl2Si2O8 phase in natural type B CAIs. The occurrence/absence of igneous dmisteinbergite would put tighter constraints on the thermal history of CAIs.

Nature, origin, and phosphorylation potential of the phosphorus/sulfur‐bearing nanoscale multiphasic assemblages in the CM chondrites Murchison and Murray

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Carbonaceous chondrites contain phosphorus, whose speciation and thus history remain to be investigated. Phosphorus/sulfur‐bearing assemblages have been reported in carbonaceous CM chondrites, but there is no consensus about their exact compositions and origins.

The first discovery of a shocked, metasomatised CV3 chondrule‐fragment in a (Al,Cu)‐bearing micrometeorite

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract We report the discovery of the second (Al,Cu)‐alloy–bearing micrometeorite, FB‐A2, recovered from Mount Gariglione (southern Italy), representing the sixth such occurrence worldwide. Although chondritic in nature, FB‐A2 differs markedly from previously described microspherules.
