Characterization of the noble gases and CRE age of the D’Orbigny angrite
Introduction: The D’Orbigny angrite, a 16.55 kg stone, was found 1979 in Argentina [1]. Mineralogy and chemistry of this meteorite were characterized in detail [2-6]. A Pb-U-Th age of 4.559 Ga was obtained for pyroxenes by Jagoutz et al. [7]. Here we report results on the noble gas isotopic composition and, in particular, on the cosmic-ray exposure (CRE) age of D’Orbigny. Cosmogenic component: ...
متن کاملLaser Microprobe Noble Gas Analysis of Chondrules in the Moorabie L3.8 Chondrite
Introduction: Trapped noble gases were discovered in chon-drules by laser microprobe noble gas analysis [1-3]. The observed noble gases were explained by solar gas acquisition in dust grains before the chondrule formation [1-3]. These results show importance of trapped noble gases in chondrites to understand environment and formation processes of chondrules. We performed the laser microprobe no...
متن کاملLaser Microprobe Noble Gas Analysis of Chondrules in the Nwa
Introduction: Chondrules were formed by rapid cooling of silicate melt about 4.6 Ga, and have held their spherical shapes until to the present. Chondrules are free from trapped noble gases [e.g., 1], which is believed to be due to complete degassing during the chondrule formation. Owing to the absence of trapped noble gases, cosmogenic noble gases can be detected clearly. Cosmogenic noble gases...
متن کاملA study on the lateral distribution of Cherenkov light in extensive air showers
The dependence of the lateral distribution of Cherenkov light in simulated extensive air showers to the energy and the mass of the primary cosmic rays has been studied. It has been shown that a previous claim about mass independent proportionality of shower energy to the total Cherenkov photon number is not valid in energies below EEAS ~ 1014 eV. We have found that the core distance of the so c...
متن کاملNoble Gas Measurements of the Grant Iiiab Iron Meteorite
Introduction: In contrast to stony meteorites, which have exposure ages usually not higher than a few tens of million years, most iron meteorites exhibit cosmic-ray exposures of hundreds of million years. Consequently, iron meteorites have collected information about the solar system, encoded in cosmogenic nuclides, for much longer than stony meteorites. Iron meteorites are therefore indispensa...
