A dying massive star ends in a supernova explosion ejecting a large fraction of its mass into the interstellar medium. If this happens nearby, part of the ejecta might end on Solar System …
Earth is constantly bombarded with extraterrestrial dust containing invaluable information about extraterrestrial processes, such as structure formation by stellar explosions or …
D Baratoux, L Folco - The Geology of North Africa, 2024 - Springer
The arid to semi-arid climate of northern African countries is an asset for the preservation of meteorites and impact structures. The Sahara, the largest hot desert in the world, is …

We have investigated silicate emulsions in impact glasses and impact melt rocks from the Wabar (Saudi Arabia), Kamil (Egypt), Barringer (USA), and Tenoumer (Mauritania) impact …
In small meteorite impacts, the projectile may survive through fragmentation; in addition, it may melt, and chemically and physically interact with both shocked and melted target rocks …

The discovery of live 60 Fe in a deep-sea crust with proposed interstellar origin followed by evidence for elevated interplanetary 3 He in the same crust raised the question on how to …
The Twannberg iron meteorite is one out of only six members of the group IIG. The combined noble gas and radionuclide data obtained in this new systematic study indicate …
I Leya, JC David, T Faestermann… - … & Planetary Science, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
We measured specific activities of the long‐lived cosmogenic radionuclides 60Fe in 28 iron meteorites and 53Mn in 41 iron meteorites. Accelerator mass spectrometry was applied at …
We report on the microscopic impactor debris around Kamil crater (45 m in diameter, Egypt) collected during our 2010 geophysical expedition. The hypervelocity impact of Gebel Kamil …
