Injection of Short-Lived Radionuclides into the Early Solar System from a Faint Supernova with Mixing-Fallback [PDF]
, 2008 Several short-lived radionuclides (SLRs) were present in the early solar system, some of which should have formed just prior to or soon after the solar system formation. Stellar nucleosynthesis has been proposed as the mechanism for production of SLRs in the solar system, but no appropriate stellar source has been found to explain the abundances of all

The Astrophysical JournalThe element abundances of stars, particularly the refractory elements (e.g., Fe, Si, and Mg), play an important role in connecting stars to their planets. Most Sun-like stars do not have refractory abundance measurements since obtaining a large sample of

The BANANA Project. VII. High Eccentricity Predicts Spin–Orbit Misalignment in Binaries
The Astrophysical JournalThe degree of spin–orbit alignment in a population of binary stars can be determined from measurements of their orbital inclinations and rotational broadening of their spectral lines.

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Nucleosynthetic isotope anomalies in meteorites allow distinguishing between the noncarbonaceous (NC) and carbonaceous (CC) meteorite reservoirs and show that correlated isotope anomalies exist in both reservoirs.

Implications of Differentiated Late Accretion for the Volatile Inventory of the Bulk Silicate Earth
The Planetary Science JournalEarth is believed to have acquired its highly siderophile element (HSE) inventory through the late accretion of ∼0.3%–0.5% of its mass in chondrite-like materials, following the main stage of its growth. Late accretion, particularly if it originated from

Meteorites and cosmic dust: Interstellar heritage and nebular processes in the early solar system
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 Small solar system bodies like asteroids and comets have escaped planetary accretion. They are the oldest and best preserved witnesses of the formation of the solar system.

What Can Meteorites Tell Us About the Formation of Jupiter?
AGU Advances, 2021 Gas giants like Jupiter are a fundamental component of planetary systems, but how they formed has been uncertain. Here we discuss how paleomagnetic records in meteorites of the solar nebula may tell us about Jupiter's final growth stage.

Chemical evolution of 244Pu in the solar vicinity and its implication for the properties of r-process production [PDF]
, 2017 Meteoritic abundances of r-process elements are analyzed to deduce the history of chemical enrichment by r-process from the beginning of disk formation to the present time in the solar vicinity, by combining the abundance information from short-lived radioactive nuclei such as 244Pu with that from stable r-process nuclei such as Eu.

Silica-rich volcanism in the early solar system dated at 4.565 Ga
Nature Communications, 2018 Achondritic meteorites can record volcanism and crust formation on planetesimals in the early Solar System. Here, the authors date the Northwest Africa 11119 meteorite with an Al-Mg age of 4564.8 ± 0.3 Ma indicating that this is the earliest evidence of ...
