Presolar isotopic and chemical signatures in hibonite-bearing refractory inclusions from the Murchison carbonaceous chondrite
Magnesium-, calcium-, and titanium-isotopic compositions, as well as trace-element abundances, have been determined by ion microprobe mass spectrometry for 37 hibonite-bearing inclusions from the Murchison carbonaceous chondrite. These and previously analyzed hibonite-bearing inclusions can be divided into three main groups based on morphological and mineralogical criteria. PLAty Crystal fragme...
متن کاملMagnesium Isotopic Compositions of Cm Hibonite Grains
Introduction: Hibonite is thought to be one of the earliest solids in the solar system, occurring as either a condensate or refractory residue, therefore the Mg isotope compositions of hibonite grains can help elucidate the initial abundance and distribution of Al in the early solar system. Previous investigations [1-6] of CM hibonite grains have demonstrated that hibonite shows a bimodal patte...
متن کاملCircumstellar Hibonite and Corundum and Nucleosynthesis in Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars
We report the discovery of two hibonite grains (CaAl12O19) whose isotopic compositions show that they formed in the winds of red giant and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. While hibonite is the second major phase (after corundum, Al2O3) expected to condense from stellar ejecta with , it has not previously been found. C/O ! 1 One circumstellar hibonite grain is highly enriched in O and sligh...
متن کاملCalcium Isotopic Anomalies and the Lack of Aluminum-26 in an Unusual Allende Inclusion
We have studied the Mg and Ca isotopic compositions of an unusual Allende inclusion dominated by hibonite, which is the most refractory and possibly the most primitive major oxide mineral. No 26Mg excess was found in spite of the high 27 Al/24Mg (1 > 103) of some samples, indicating an initial (26Al/27Al)0 < 2 X 10-7, a factor of 250 less than found in some other Allende inclusions. The upper l...
متن کاملAluminum-, Calcium- and Titanium-rich Oxide Stardust in Ordinary Chondrite Meteorites
We report O-, Al-Mg-, K-, Ca-, and Ti-isotopic data for a total of 96 presolar oxide grains found in residues of several unequilibrated ordinary chondrite meteorites. Identified grain types include Al2O3, MgAl2O4, hibonite (CaAl12O19), and Ti oxide. This work greatly increases the presolar hibonite database, and is the first report of presolar Ti oxide. O-isotopic compositions of the grains spa...
