Chondrule Destruction via Dust Collisions in Shock Waves

Y Matsumoto, K Kurosawa… - The Astrophysical …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
A leading candidate for the heating source of chondrules and igneous rims is shock waves.
This mechanism generates high relative velocities between chondrules and dust particles …

Fine-grained rim formation via kinetic dust aggregation in shock waves around evaporating icy planetesimals

S Arakawa, H Kaneko, T Nakamoto - The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Fine-grained rims (FGRs) are frequently found around chondrules in primitive chondrites.
The remarkable feature of FGRs is their submicron-sized and nonporous nature. The typical …

The Aguas Zarcas carbonaceous chondrite meteorite: Brecciation and aqueous alteration on the parent body

I Kouvatsis, JA Cartwright… - Meteoritics & Planetary …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
CM chondrites are samples from primitive water‐rich asteroids that formed early in the solar
system; many record evidence for silicate rock–liquid water interaction. Many CM chondrites …
