They Came From the Deep in the Supernova: The Origin of TiC and Metal Subgrains in Presolar Graphite Grains [PDF]
Astrophys.J.647:L37-L40,2006, 2006 A new formation scenario for TiC and Fe,Ni-metal inclusions in presolar graphite grains of supernova origin is described. The mineralogy and chemistry require condensation of (Fe,Ni)-titanides from Fe, Ni, and Ti-rich gaseous ejecta, subsequent carburization to make TiC and metal, and encapsulation into graphite.
