Solar System processing during, formation

As for Allende s inclusions, variable contributions of a component produced in neutron-rich nuclear statistical equilibrium best explains the Ti- Ca data. Some parts of the solar nebula were depleted in these isotopes as deficits are also seen. There are several possibilities for explaining the variations in Ti. 1) The neutron-rich component itself may be heterogeneous and incorporate locally less neutron-rich statistical equilibrium products (Hartmann et al. 1985). 2) Ti may result from another process like explosive Si or He burning (Clayton 1988). This component would be associated with the neutron-rich component but not completely homogenized. In all cases, carriers are solid grains which may have behaved differently than the gaseous nebula during the formation of the solar system. A minimum number of components may be calculated to account for the Ca and Ti isotopic data, which number up to 3 (Ireland 1990) but to be conservative at the 5ct level, clearly resolved effects are present only on 3 isotopes ( Ca, Ti, Ti). [Pg.40]

In summary, the extinct radioactivities which have a limited time of existence in the solar system, constrain the time interval between the late stages of stellar nucleosynthesis and the formation of the solar system. Some production may also occur within the solar system during active periods of the young Sun. There have been numerous studies about how this matter was added into the solar system as a late spike of about 10 solar masses of freshly stellar processed material or from constant production in the galaxy (Wasserburg et al. 1996 Goswami and Vanhala 2000 Russell et al. 2001). These models are refined constantly with the input of new data and will probably continue to evolve in the future. [Pg.54]

Star formation and the formation of star systems with planets around them, constantly takes place in dense interstellar clouds. The material present in these clouds is incorporated into the objects that are formed during this process. Pristine or slightly altered organic matter from the cloud from which our solar-system was formed is therefore present in the most primitive objects in the solar system comets, asteroids, and outer solar-system satellites. Pieces of asteroids (and perhaps comets) can be investigated with regards to these components through the analyses of meteorites (and eventually in samples returned from these bodies by spacecraft) in laboratories on Earth. The infall of asteroid and comet material from space may have contributed to the inventory of organic compounds on primordial Earth. [Pg.48]

A related question is this Which types of stars or supernova explosions produce the extinct radioactive nuclei thatare found in the solar system Here the reader is referred to the entry for each specific isotope. But this much must be appreciated first. Some radioactivities appear to be made primarily by the thermonuclear explosions of white-dwarf stars, called Type la supernovae. Others are created primarily in massive stars whose cores collapse to become neutron stars to initiate an explosive ejection (Type II supernovae). Type II supernovae occur three to five times more frequendy than do Type la supernovae. Some radioactive nuclei are made within differing portions of each event, some prior to the ejection, but some during the heat of the ejection process. And still other radioactive nuclei are created within evolved stars that do not become supernovae (red giants). This diversity of origin renders uncertain the identity of those extinct radioactivities that are to be attributed specifically to that supernova thatis supposed to have triggered the formation of the solar system. In recent scientific... [Pg.287]

Remote observations provide information about the processes of dust formation and coagulation in extrasolar protoplanetary disks. In contrast, the suite of fine-grained Solar System materials available for study in the laboratory consists of materials that formed 4.56 Gyr ago during the earliest stages of the formation of the Solar System. [Pg.207]

Oxygen isotope abundance variations in meteorites are very useful in elucidating chemical and physical processes that occurred during the formation of the solar system (Clayton, 1993). On Earth, the mean abundances of the three stable isotopes are 99.76%, 0.039%, and... [Pg.130]

Chondritic meteorites contain a complex record of processes that occurred during the earliest stages of solar system evolution, from the formation of the earliest solids by condensation in the solar nebula to the accretion of asteroidal... [Pg.248]

The molecular and isotopic analysis of the organic component of meteorites provides valuable Insights into the processes that occurred before and during the formation of the solar system. The composition of this material is the product of a combination of different processes that occurred in veiy different physical conditions over different periods of time. These processes can be divided into three types ... [Pg.254]

Processes that occurred during the formation of the solar system, e.g. in the accretionary disk environment. [Pg.254]
