Breaking Degeneracies in Formation Histories by Measuring Refractory Content in Gas Giants
Relating planet formation to atmospheric composition has been a long-standing goal of the planetary science community. So far, most modeling studies have focused on predicting the enrichment of heavy elements and the C/O ratio in giant planet atmospheres.

From stellar nebula to planets: the refractory components [PDF]
We computed the abundance of refractory elements in planetary bodies formed in stellar systems with solar chemical composition by combining models for chemical composition and planet formation.

The formation of boundary clinopyroxenes and associated glass veins in type B1 CAIs [PDF]
We used focused ion beam thin section preparation and scanning transmission electron microscopy (FIB/STEM) to examine the interfacial region between spinel and host melilite for spinel grains in type B1 inclusions from the Allende and Leoville ...

Geochemistry and petrogenesis of the Feshark intrusion (NE Isfahan city)
Introduction Granitic rocks are the most abundant rock types in various tectonic settings and they have originated from mantle-derived magmas and/or partial melting of crustal rocks.

Trace element geochemistry of ordinary chondrite chondrules: the type I/type II chondrule dichotomy [PDF]
We report trace element concentrations of silicate phases in chondrules from LL3 ordinary chondrites Bishunpur and Semarkona. Results are similar to previously reported data for carbonaceous chondrites, with rare earth element (REE) concentrations ...

Volatiles in protoplanetary disks [PDF]
Volatiles are compounds with low sublimation temperatures, and they make up most of the condensible mass in typical planet-forming environments. They consist of relatively small, often hydrogenated, molecules based on the abundant elements carbon ...

Mixing in the Solar Nebula: Implications for Isotopic Heterogeneity and Large-Scale Transport of Refractory Grains [PDF]
The discovery of refractory grains amongst the particles collected from Comet 81P/Wild 2 by the Stardust spacecraft (Brownlee et al. 2006) provides the ground truth for large-scale transport of materials formed in high temperature regions close to the ...

The formation of Jupiter by hybrid pebble-planetesimal accretion [PDF]
The standard model for giant planet formation is based on the accretion of solids by a growing planetary embryo, followed by rapid gas accretion once the planet exceeds a so-called critical mass.

Radiogenic power and geoneutrino luminosity of the Earth and other terrestrial bodies through time
We report the Earth's rate of radiogenic heat production and (anti)neutrino luminosity from geologically relevant short-lived radionuclides (SLR) and long-lived radionuclides (LLR) using decay constants from the geological community, updated nuclear ...

Obesity and climate change: co-crises with common solutions
The global obesity crisis involves an unprecedented and rapid change to the human phenotype. Conferring vast levels of avoidable morbidity and mortality at enormous cost, it has proved refractory to previous policy-led action. This article reviews recent
