Cometary dust: the diversity of primitive refractory grains
Comet dust is primitive and shows significant diversity. Our knowledge of the properties of primitive cometary particles has expanded significantly through microscale investigations of cosmic dust samples (anhydrous interplanetary dust particles (IDPs), chondritic porous (CP) IDPs and UltraCarbonaceous Antarctic micrometeorites, Stardust and Rosetta), as well as through remote sensing (Spitzer ...
متن کاملTransmission Electron Microscopy of Ultracarbonaceous Antarctic Micrometeorites of Possible Cometary Origin
Introduction: UltraCarbonaceous Antarctic Micrometeorites (UCAMM) are a new type of fluffy, fragile particles, exceptionally rich in carbon. The samples were collected at Dome C near CONCORDIA station, in central Antarctica [1]. These particles are dominated by a very large amount of carbonaceous material, with concentrations up to ~ 50 wt%, even larger than that of anhydrous IDPs [2]. They are...
متن کاملSurvey of ‘Low-Z’ Particles from the Interplanetary Dust Collection in Search of IDPs
Micrometeorites are one of the most common types of extraterrestrial material that fall to the Earth, beside meteorites and interplanetary dust particles (IDPs). All of these materials are known to contain presolar grains that, when studied in the laboratory, provide information about the origin of the solar system and help to constrain models of nucleosynthesis in stars. Recent studies of micr...
متن کاملImmature Carbonaceous Matter in Concordia Antarctic Micrometeorites
Introduction: Antarctic MicroMeteorites (AMMs) represent the dominant source of extraterrestrial matter accreted by Earth today [1]. Some of them are ultracarbonaceous particles (UCAMMs) [2, 3, 4]. Furthermore, AMMs could have played a role in the origin of life on Earth [e.g. 5]. A better knowledge of their constituent carbonaceous matter could thus shed light on the formation of the organic m...
متن کاملMeteorite studies
eteorites yield a wealth of information concerning Solar System origin, geochemical evolution of primitive parent objects, and irradiation histories of material in space. Since the numerous (approximately 16,000) antarctic meteorites include many of rare or unique types, current extraterrestrial materials research attention focuses on this population. Antarctic meteorites also have the potentia...
