New Paradigms For Asteroid Formation

open access: yes, 2015
Asteroids and meteorites provide key evidence on the formation of planetesimals in the Solar System. Asteroids are traditionally thought to form in a bottom-up process by coagulation within a population of initially km-scale planetesimals.

New Zealand's Second Meteorite: Makarewa (find, L4, S5, W2)

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
One of the most remarkable discoveries of a meteorite in New Zealand was that of Makarewa. Discovered in 1879, Makarewa is a ‘find’ that was uncovered a metre below the surface of a clay bank during excavation works for a train line in the southern South Island.

The use of SEM/EDS method in mineralogical analysis of ordinary chondritic meteorite

open access: yesGeologija, 2009
The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersiveX-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) for determination of mineral phases according to their stoichiometry and assessment of mineral composition of ...

Heterogeneities in the solar nebula [PDF]

open access: yes
Oxygen isotopic compositions of the high-temperatue phases in carbonaceous chondrites define a mixing line with an O-16 rich component and show little superimposed chemical isotope fractionation.

The distribution of asteroids: evidence from Antarctic micrometeorites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The relative abundances of types amongst 550 AMMs are reported. These suggest that C-type asteroids vary from petrologic type 1 to 3.2 and that the majority of S-type asteroids are chondrule ...

Sound Velocities of FeO‐Bearing Ringwoodite and Majorite: Implication for Martian Mantle Seismic Profiles

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Compressional and shear wave velocities (Vp, Vs) of candidate Martian deep‐mantle minerals, FeO‐rich ringwoodite ((Mg0.66Fe0.34)2SiO4) and majorite (Mg0.75Fe0.10Al0.26Ca0.07Si0.84O3), were measured up to 25 GPa and 700 K using Brillouin light scattering coupled with externally‐heated diamond anvil cells.

Two-source Terrestrial Planet Formation with a Sweeping Secular Resonance

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
The models that most successfully reproduce the orbital architecture of the solar system terrestrial planets start from a narrow annulus of material that grows into embryos and then planets.

Geology, mineralization and geochemistry of the Aqkand Cu occurrence (north of Zanjan, Tarom-Hashtjin zone)

open access: yesJournal of Economic Geology, 2017
Introduction The Aqkand Cu occurrence, 48 km north of Zanjan, is located in the Tarom subzone of the Western Alborz-Azerbaijan structural zone. Apart from small scale geological maps of the area, i.e., 1:250,000 geological maps of Bandar-e-Anzali ...

Low delta-V near-Earth asteroids: A survey of suitable targets for space missions

open access: yes, 2014
In the last decades Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) have become very important targets to study, since they can give us clues to the formation, evolution and composition of the Solar System.
