The Genesis solar wind sample return mission: Past, present, and future
The Genesis Discovery mission returned solar matter in the form of the solar wind with the goal of obtaining precise solar isotopic abundances (for the first time) and greatly improved elemental abundances. Measurements of the light noble gases in regime samples demonstrate that isotopes are fractionated in the solar wind relative to the solar photosphere. Theory is required for correction. Mea...
متن کاملGenesis , Five Years After
Introduction: Almost five years after the crash-landing of the sample return capsule of the Genesis solar wind collection mission, many of the originally defined high-priority goals [1] have been reached or prospects are very good that they will be reached within the next few years. None of the major goals had to be abandoned as a consequence of the crash. This contribution reviews some of the ...
متن کاملIsotopic and elemental fractionation of solar wind implanted in the Genesis concentrator target characterized and quantified by noble gases
We report concentrations and isotopic compositions of He, Ne, and Ar measured with high spatial resolution along a radial traverse of a silicon carbide (SiC) quadrant of the Genesis mission concentrator target. The Ne isotopic composition maps instrumental fractionation as a function of radial position in the target: the maximum observed isotopic fractionation is approximately 33& per mass unit...
متن کاملSolar composition from the Genesis Discovery Mission.
Science results from the Genesis Mission illustrate the major advantages of sample return missions. (i) Important results not otherwise obtainable except by analysis in terrestrial laboratories: the isotopic compositions of O, N, and noble gases differ in the Sun from other inner solar system objects. The N isotopic composition is the same as that of Jupiter. Genesis has resolved discrepancies ...
متن کاملFractionation Processes in the Solar Wind Revealed by Noble Gases Collected by Genesis Regime Targets
Introduction: Genesis collected solar wind (SW) ions with one major objective being to obtain abundances and isotopic composition of ultra-volatile elements. The SW is a proxy for the composition of the solar outer convective zone (OCZ) and, hence for the solar nebula. For most elements accurate values for the isotopic composition of sun can be inferred from meteorites. Carbonaceous chondrites ...
