Meteorites, which are remnants of solar system formation, provide a direct glimpse into the
dynamics and evolution of a young stellar object (YSO), namely our Sun. Much of our …

We explore the idea that most chondrules formed as a consequence of inefficient pairwise
accretion, when molten or partly molten planetesimals~ 30–100km diameter, similar in size …

Chondrules from different chondrite groups show characteristic properties, including
abundances of different chondrule textural types, chondrule sizes, oxygen isotope …

We investigate the hypothesis that many chondrules are frozen droplets of spray from impact
plumes launched when thin‐shelled, largely molten planetesimals collided at low speed …

In unequilibrated chondrites, the ferromagnesian silicates in chondrules exhibit wide ranges
of mg#= Mg/(Mg+ Fe), allowing to sub-divide porphyritic chondrules into either type I (mg#> …

We investigated the 26Al–26Mg systematics of type I (FeO-poor) chondrules from one of the
most primitive carbonaceous chondrites, Acfer 094. The inferred initial 26Al/27Al ratios of …

Advances in the chemical and isotopic characterisation of geological and environmental
materials can often be ascribed to technological improvements in analytical hardware …

The decay of radioactive 26 Al to 26 Mg (half-life of 730,000 years) is postulated to have
been the main energy source promoting asteroidal melting and differentiation in the nascent …

Chondrules are the major high temperature components of chondritic meteorites which
accreted a few millions years after the oldest solids of the solar system, the calcium …

Meteorites with significantly sub-chondritic Al/Mg that formed in the first 2million years of the
Solar System should be characterised by deficits in the abundance of 26Mg (δ26Mg∗) due …
