The source of and timing of delivery of the volatile elements to Earth is a question that is fundamental to understanding how our planet evolved. Here, we show that primitive …

We review the observational properties and possible carriers of the 21 and 30 μm features seen in the spectra of evolved carbon-rich objects. The 30 μm feature is generally taken to …
Minerals preserve records of the physical, chemical, and biological histories of their origins and subsequent alteration, and thus provide a vivid narrative of the evolution of Earth and …
To investigate the origin of fine-grained rims around chondrules (FGRs), we compared presolar grain abundances, elemental compositions and mineralogies in fine-grained …
Abstract NanoSIMS C-, N-, and O-isotopic mapping of matrix in CO3. 0 chondrite Dominion Range (DOM) 08006 revealed it to have in its matrix the highest abundance of presolar O …

Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus and Sulfur (CHNOPS) play key roles in the origin and proliferation of life on Earth. Given the universality of physics and chemistry …
Abstract About 30%–40% of classical novae produce dust 20–100 days after the outburst, but no presolar stardust grains from classical novae have been unambiguously identified …

Context. J-type stars are a subclass of carbon stars that are generally Li-rich, not enriched in s-elements, and have low 12 C/13 C ratios. They were suggested to be the manufacturers of …
We report the structural and chemical analyses of six presolar silicate grains identified in situ in the CO3. 0 carbonaceous chondrite Dominion Range (DOM) 08006. Two of the grains …
