Evaluating Co Self-shielding and the Oxygen Isotopic Evolution of the Solar Protoplanetary Disk with Astrochemical Reaction Networks
Introduction: Self shielding by CO in the early stages of evolution of the solar protoplanetary disk may be the explanation for the anomalous array of O/O and O/O in primitive solar system materials (the slope-1 line on a plot of δO vs. δO) [1, 2]. Thorough evaluation of the various hypotheses that CO photochemistry is the source of the ∆O variability in the solar system requires detailed astro...
متن کاملOxygen Isotopic Fractionation in Vacuum Ultraviolet Photodissociation of Co: Lack of Self-shielding and Relevance to the Early Solar System
Introduction: Isotopically selective photodissociation of CO at vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) wavelengths has been invoked as a photochemical process in interstellar molecular clouds to explain the observed abundance variation of minor isotopologues of CO [1-2], a process known as isotopic self-shielding (SS). Isotopic SS of CO within the nebular disk has also been advocated as the source of isotopi...
متن کاملThe Predominance of Self-shielding in Laboratory Co Photolysis Experiments
Introduction: CO self-shielding is presently the leading hypothesis for explaining the CAI oxygen isotope mixing line [1]. Preliminary analyses of GENESIS solar wind samples show that the solar wind ions have ΔO ~ -20 ‰ [2], similar to the isotopically lightest CAIs. Barring non-mass-dependent fractionation during solar wind acceleration and ion passage through the GENESIS ion concentrator, the...
متن کاملWater Transport in the Solar Nebula: Implications for the Mixing of Oxygen
Introduction: The affinity of oxygen for both gaseous and solid phases makes it and its isotopes important tracers of redox conditions and isotopic reservoirs in the solar nebula. The oxygen fugacity (fO 2) recorded by chondritic meteorites ranges over several orders of magnitudes, from very high values needed to explain such minerals as ferrous olivine in ordinary and carbonaceous chondrites t...
متن کاملTesting “self-shielding” Model with Laboratory Experiment for the Oxygen Isotope Evolution in the Early Solar Nebula
Introduction: Inner solar system materials have distinct oxygen isotopic compositions, suggesting large scale mixing between O-rich and O-poor reservoirs. Exactly how these reservoirs were developed in the first place in the solar nebula has remained elusive ever since the discovery of the oxygen isotope anomalies in 1973 (1). Recently, building on earlier suggestions (2, 3) and well known astr...
