Metals and metallic elements in silicate/oxide form are abundant in asteroid materials and are often touted as a valuable space resource that can be returned to Earth or used in …
How and where the first generation of inner Solar System planetesimals formed remains poorly understood. Potential formation regions are the silicate condensation line and water …
The parent cores of iron meteorites belong to the earliest accreted bodies in the solar system. These cores formed in two isotopically distinct reservoirs: noncarbonaceous (NC) …
Group IIIF was established as a magmatic iron-meteorite group based on similar Ga and Ge abundances, unusually high Ga/Ge ratios, and the IIIAB-like interelement trends in its …
The processes responsible for the isotopic compositions and abundances of volatile elements in the early solar system remain highly debated. Orders of magnitude variation of …
