Although pyroxene has been detected remotely across the Solar System, limited information is available from infrared remote sensing about the Mg‐Fe composition of pyroxene, and distinguishing between augite (20 < CaSiO3 < 45) and diopside‐hedenbergite ...

An experimental study of pyroxene crystallization during rapid cooling in a thermal gradient: application to komatiites [PDF]
To investigate the crystallization of pyroxene in spinifex-textured komatiites, we undertook a series of experiments in which compositions in the CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 CMAS system were cooled rapidly in a thermal gradient.

Reproduction Experiments of Radial Pyroxene Chondrules Using a Gas-jet Levitation System under Reduced Conditions [PDF]
Reproduction experiments of radial pyroxene (RP) chondrules were carried out using an Ar–H _2 or Ar gas-jet levitation system in a reducing atmosphere in order to simulate chondrule formation in the protoplanetary disk.
