Differentiation of Metal-rich Meteoritic Parent Bodies

چکیده
Introduction: There is now increasing evidence that the timescale between the formation of CAIs and of chondrules is < 1-2 Ma, and that the achondritic parent planets may have formed and differentiated within 2-4 Ma of the origin of the Solar System [1,2]. Long-lived chronometers (such as 187 Re

Hf-W chronometry and the accretion and early evolution of asteroids and terrestrial planets
We review the chronology for the accretion and earliest evolution of asteroids and terrestrial planets as obtained by applying Hf-W chronometry to meteoritic and planetary samples. Internal Hf-W isochrons for CAIs and angrites yield an absolute age for CAIs of 4568.6±0.7 Ma, which is ~1.5 Ma older than previously determined from PbPb ages for CAIs. Hafnium-tungsten isochrons for H chondrites co...
متن کاملUV photolysis, organic molecules in young disks, and the origin of meteoritic amino acids
The origin of complex organic molecules such as amino acids and their precursors found in meteorites and comets is unknown. Previous studies have accounted for the complex organic inventory of the Solar System by aqueous chemistry on warm meteoritic parent bodies, or by accretion of organics formed in the interstellar medium. This paper proposes a third possibility: that complex organics were c...
متن کاملماهیت ماگمای مادر کرومیت در افیولیت سبزوار (شمال شرق ایران)
Significance of chromite, as the unique source for chromium, a metal with key role in industry, has inspired many geologists to investigate its genesis and natural distribution as an important contribution to its exploration in many parts of the world. To do this, geochemistry of chromite, which is considered to be the reflection of the nature of its parent magma and the geotectonic setting in ...
متن کاملPSRD: When Worlds Really Did Collide
Most iron meteorites are thought to come from over 50 asteroids 5-100 kilometers in size that were melted, differentiated into metallic cores and silicate mantles, and broken open by impacts long after they had slowly cooled. However, we find that the cooling rates for one group of iron meteorites (dubbed the IVA group) and other irons require a much more complex history and much larger parent ...
متن کاملHigh precision measurements of non-mass-dependent effects in nickel isotopes in meteoritic metal via multicollector ICPMS.
We measured the Ni isotopic composition of metal from a variety of meteorite groups to search for variations in the 60Ni abundance from the decay of the short-lived nuclide 60Fe (t(1/2) = 1.49 My) and for possible nucleosynthetic effects in the other stable isotopes of Ni. We developed a high-yield Ni separation procedure based on a combination of anion and cation exchange chromatography. Nicke...
