The solar nebula sustained a strong magnetic field that may have aided planetesimal
accretion and imparted the chemical remanent magnetization (CRM) observed in some …

The evolution and lifetime of protoplanetary disks (PPDs) play a central role in the formation
and architecture of planetary systems. Astronomical observations suggest that PPDs evolve …

Chondritic meteorites have been traditionally thought to be samples of undifferentiated
bodies that never experienced large-scale melting. This view has been challenged by the …

Meteorite magnetizations can provide rare insight into early Solar System evolution. Such
data take on new importance with recognition of the isotopic dichotomy between non …

We introduce the theoretical basis of a new form of remanent magnetization that likely
formed on primitive bodies in the solar system. Accretional detrital remanent magnetization …

Theoretical investigations suggest that magnetic fields may have played an important role in
driving rapid stellar accretion rates and efficient planet formation in protoplanetary disks …

Magnetic fields in the solar nebula may have played a central role in mass and angular
momentum transport in the protosolar disk and facilitated the accretion of the first …

We present a paleomagnetic study of seven CM carbonaceous chondrites. CM chondrites
are believed to be some of the most chemically primitive materials available in our solar …

Several chondritic meteorites contain magnetizations that have been attributed to either
solar nebula fields or to core dynamos that may have operated within partially differentiated …

The textures of chondritic meteorites demonstrate that they are not the products of planetary
melting processes. This has long been interpreted as evidence that chondrite parent bodies …
