Mineralogical and geochemical characterization of hydrated minerals from subterranean environments: implications for planetary exploration

open access: yes, 2014
El reciente descubrimiento de minerales hidratados sobre la superficie de Marte sugiere la presencia de importantes cantidades de agua líquida durante algunas etapas de su historia geológica. A raíz de este hallazgo, los estudios sobre minerales hidratados en ambientes terrestres como potenciales análogos marcianos han adquirido gran relevancia.

The stellar Mg/Si, C/O, Ca/Si, Al/Si, Na/Si, and Fe/Si ratios and the mineral diversity of rocky exoplanets

open access: yesOpen Astronomy
The bulk planetary compositions are thought to be consistent with the chemical abundances of their host stars. The abundances of eight key rock-forming elements and the key planetary abundance ratios in G- and F-type main sequence stars located in the ...

An ion probe study of the sulphur isotopic composition of Fe-Ni sulphides in CM carbonaceous chondrites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
From the Introduction: The CM chondrites have endured variable degrees of aqueous alteration [1] which has changed their original mineralogy. A detailed study of the petrology and mineralogy of the sulphides in a suite of increasingly aqueously altered ...

An integrated mineralogical, petrographic, light stable isotope and noble gas investigation of Sahara 99201 ureilite [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
New ureilite Sahara 99201 has been investigated to determine mineralogy, petrography, light stable isotopes and noble gases. The sample is a typical olivine pigeonite ureilite (Fo 78, Wo 10, En 72).

Laboratory mid-IR spectra of equilibrated and igneous meteorites. Searching for observables of planetesimal debris

open access: yes, 2017
Meteorites contain minerals from Solar System asteroids with different properties (like size, presence of water, core formation). We provide new mid-IR transmission spectra of powdered meteorites to obtain templates of how mid-IR spectra of asteroidal ...

Infrared spectroscopy of circumstellar dust: signs of differentiated materials? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Mid-infrared absorption spectra of powdered achondrites are compared with the astronomical spectra of dust around young, evolving stars, to find evidence (or not) of dust formed in collisional cascades of material from ...

Planetary Bioresources and Astroecology 1. Planetary Microcosm Bioassays of Martian and Carbonaceous Chondrite Materials: Nutrients, Electrolyte Solutions, and Algal and Plant Responses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The biological fertilities of planetary materials can be assessed using microcosms based on materials in martian and carbonaceous chondrite meteorites.

Primary crustal melt compositions: Insights into the controls, mechanisms and timing of generation from kinetics experiments and melt inclusions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We explore the controls, mechanisms and timing of generation of primary melts and their compositions, and show that the novel studies of melt inclusions in migmatites can provide important insights into the processes of crustal anatexis of a particular ...

Mineralogical records of early planetary processes on the howardite, eucrite, diogenite parent body with reference to Vesta [PDF]

open access: yesMeteoritics & Planetary Science, 1997
Abstract— Mineralogical information recovered from the howardite, eucrite, diogenite (HED) meteorites was employed to reconstruct the history of the parent body and relate it to 4 Vesta. These interpreted crustal evolution processes were then compared to the expected geological features on the surface of a likely proto‐planet, 4 Vesta.
