Evaporation/condensation of Chondritic Chondrule Precursors in Nebular
Introduction: The origin of chondrules remains one of the great enigmas in meteoritics. Under the canonical formation conditions of low pressures, high temperatures and moderate cooling rates (10-1000 K/hr), some evaporation at least of the moderately volatile elements is expected. Chondrules are depleted in moderately volatile elements, but they do not have the systematic isotopic fractionatio...
متن کاملSize and Density of Chondrule Formation Regions from Missing Isotopic Fractionation
Introduction: Chondrules were probably formed as freely floating molten droplets by brief, very energetic, events in the protoplanetary nebula. Melting of such small objects in the near-vacuum of the nebula should evaporate their more volatile elements, preferentially removing the lighter isotopes of these elements. Chondrules are depleted in their more volatile elements, but unlike other molte...
متن کاملVolatile fractionation in the early solar system and chondrule/matrix complementarity.
Bulk chondritic meteorites and terrestrial planets show a monotonic depletion in moderately volatile and volatile elements relative to the Sun's photosphere and CI carbonaceous chondrites. Although volatile depletion was the most fundamental chemical process affecting the inner solar nebula, debate continues as to its cause. Carbonaceous chondrites are the most primitive rocks available to us, ...
متن کاملEarly Chemical History of the Solar System
The extreme antiquity and lack of evidence for significant chemical processing of the chondritic meteorites since they were formed suggest he possibility that their chemistry and mineralogy may have been established uring the condensation of the solar system. By using equilibrium thermodynamics, the sequence of condensation of mineral phases from a cooling nebula of solar composition has been c...
متن کاملEvidence for Fractional Condensation and Flash Reheating from Volatile Rich Objects in Ch-chondrites
Introduction: CH-carbonaceous chondrites have excess FeNi-metal and are strongly depleted in moderately volatile and volatile elements (Mn, Na, Zn, Se), but have CI refractory element/Mg ratios [1]. In contrast to other carbonaceous chondrites, CHs have high modal abundances of chondrules (~70 vol.%) with a mean diameter of 70-90 μm, FeNi-metals (~20 vol.%) and very low fractions of matrix (~5 ...
