A primitive asteroid that lived fast and died young sampled by a xenolith in the Cold Bokkeveld CM2 carbonaceous chondrite

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 464-483, March 2025.
Abstract Xenoliths in carbonaceous chondrites include lithologies that are unrepresented in the meteorite record and so are a rich source of information on asteroid diversity. Cold Bokkeveld is a CM2 regolith breccia that contains both hydrous and anhydrous lithic clasts. Here, we describe a hydrous clast with a fine‐grained rim.

Iron and copper sulfides in asteroid (162173) Ryugu: Formation conditions and a comparison to the CI and CY chondrites

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 506-528, March 2025.
Abstract JAXA's Hayabusa2 sample return mission visited the volatile‐rich carbonaceous (C‐type) asteroid (162173) Ryugu with the aim of ground‐truthing remote observations, returning a pristine sample from a C‐type asteroid, and strengthening links between asteroids and the meteorite collection. Here, we have conducted a systematic study of coarse (>10

Mid‐infrared detection and characterization of refractory inclusions in CM and CO chondrites: A non‐destructive approach for returned space samples

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 544-569, March 2025.
Abstract Refractory inclusions (RIs) in chondrites are widely used as tracers of early solar system formation conditions. In the context of sample‐return missions, a non‐destructive and non‐invasive analytical tool that can rapidly detect and characterize RIs in space samples during their early phase of study is highly needed.

VIS‐to‐MIR reflectance and Raman spectroscopy of the CM2 NWA 12184 carbonaceous chondrite

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 570-595, March 2025.
Abstract The spectral analysis of CM meteorites can help to constrain the mineralogical composition of their parent body, the C‐type asteroids. The CM2 NWA 12184 was spectrally examined employing seven complementary techniques at different spatial resolutions, including VIS‐to‐MIR reflectance and Raman spectroscopy.

Microtextures and structures in metal–sulfide grains in NWA 869 meteorite and their relation to thermal history of L‐chondrite parent body

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 616-631, March 2025.
Abstract Results of microanalysis study of NWA 869 meteorite, an ordinary chondrite, where silicates, Fe‐Ni alloys, and troilite are major constituents, are reported. The presented study of microtextures in metallic and sulfide grains provides information on processes occurring from the asteroid's accretion, through the impacts until cooling.
