Identification of an Extremely O-rich Presolar Silicate Grain in Acfer
Introduction: Presolar silicate grains have been abundantly identified since their first discovery less than a decade ago [1,2,3]. The O isotopic compositions of both silicate and oxide stardust indicate the vast majority (>90%) condensed around O-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. Though both presolar phases have average sizes of ~300 nm, grains larger than 1 μm are extremely uncommon f...
متن کاملContinued Characterization of Presolar Silicate Grains from the Acfer 094 Carbonaceous Chondrite
Introduction: Among circumstellar grains produced around O-rich evolved stars, silicate grains are the most abundant [1]. Until recently, the identification of presolar silicate grains in extraterrestrial materials proved difficult due in part to their destruction by parent body processes, requiring analysis of very primitive samples, and to the experimental challenge presented by their submicr...
متن کاملUltra High Spatial Resolution Ion Imaging with a NanoSIMS Ion Microprobe: Applications
Introduction: Ion imaging technique with secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) is a powerful tool to visualize the distributions of isotopes and/or elements in samples, and is becoming common to variety field of sciences including material science [1], cosmochem-istry [2] and biology [3]. The CAMECA NanoSIMS 50L ion microprobe represents the in-situ microanalysis by SIMS, combining ultra high ...
متن کاملContinued Studies of Stardust in Idps
Introduction: We recently reported the first identification of stardust in IDPs [1]. Here we present the results of a detailed analysis of the original and subsequent O isotopic studies of anhydrous cluster IDPs. Anhydrous cluster IDPs were selected because they have preserved molecular cloud material, as evidenced by large enrichments in deuterium [2]. Further, they have escaped aqueous and th...
متن کاملDiscovery of Presolar Sic from Comet Wild-2
Introduction The preliminary examination of Stardust samples has yielded a number of surprising findings, such as the presence of large refractory mineral grains, including materials resembling CAIs, chondrules, and AOA fragments [1-3]. Furthermore, intact organics and fine grained materials are unexpectedly rare in Stardust tracks [4,5]. The fact that intact fine grained materials are uncommon...
