We present a comprehensive evolutionary model of the Sun's protoplanetary disk,
constructed to resolve the" CAI storage problem" of meteoritics. We predict the abundances …

Whole rock Δ 17 O and nucleosynthetic isotopic variations for chromium, titanium, nickel,
and molybdenum in meteorites define two isotopically distinct populations: carbonaceous …

Chondrites consist of three major components: refractory inclusions (Ca, Al‐rich inclusions
[CAI s] and amoeboid olivine aggregates), chondrules, and matrix. Here, I summarize recent …

Chondrules formed by the melting of dust aggregates in the solar protoplanetary disk and as
such provide unique insights into how solid material was transported and mixed within the …

Chondritic meteorites are the oldest and most primitive rocks in the solar system. They
formed as conglomerates of particles, many of which record individual, diverse nebular …

Refractory materials, such as calcium‐aluminum‐rich inclusions (CAIs) and crystalline
silicates, are widely found in chondritic meteorites as well as comets, taken as evidence for …

Dynamic models of the protoplanetary disk indicate there should be large-scale material
transport in and out of the inner Solar System, but direct evidence for such transport is …

We report the petrology, O isotopic composition, and Al–Mg isotope systematics of a
chondrule fragment from the Jupiter-family comet Wild 2, returned to Earth by NASA's …

The nucleosynthetic isotope dichotomy between carbonaceous (CC) and non-
carbonaceous (NC) meteorites has been interpreted as evidence for spatial separation and …

Meteorites originating from primitive C-type asteroids are composed of materials from the
Sun's protoplanetary disk, including up to a few per cent organic carbon. In contrast, some …
