▪ Abstract The Goddard High-Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS) aboard the Hubble Space
Telescope (HST) has yielded precision abundance results for a range of interstellar …

▪ Abstract The Re-Os isotope sytem, based on the long-lived β− transition of 187Re to
187Os, has matured to wide use in cosmochemistry and high-temperature geochemistry …

As part of a project to investigate the volatilities of so-called “moderately volatile elements”
such as Zn, In, Tl, Ga, Ag, Sb, Pb, and Cl during planetary formation, we began by re …

Compositional models of the Earth are critically dependent on three main sources of
information: the seismic profile of the Earth and its interpretation, comparisons between …

Study of the cosmochemistry of the REE can be said to have started with the early work of
Noddack (1935), who determined the abundances of the REE in a composite mixture of …

Solar photospheric and meteoritic CI chondrite abundance determinations for all elements
are summarized and the best currently available photospheric abundances are selected …

A global selection of 56 mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) glasses were analysed for Li and B
abundances and isotopic compositions. Analytical accuracy and precision of analyses …

A compilation of data on 78 elements in the nine groups of chondrites shows each to be
isochemical with the exception of a few volatiles. With the exception of the most volatile …

The first serious attempt to establish a comprehensive list of “cosmic abundances” was
made by the geochemist Victor Moritz Goldschmidt. During the 20s and 30s of the last …

In 1794, the German physicist EFF Chladni published a small book in which he proposed
the extraterrestrial origin of meteorites. The response was skepticism and disbelief. In the …
