Source regions and timescales for the delivery of water to the Earth

Alessandro Morbidelli, John Chambers, J. I. Lunine et al. · 1 Nov 2000

Abstract— In the primordial solar system, the most plausible sources of the water accreted by the Earth were in the outer asteroid belt, in the giant planet regions, and in the Kuiper Belt. We investigate the implications on the origin of Earth's water of dynamical models of primordial evolution of solar system bodies and check…

Space weathering on airless bodies: Resolving a mystery with lunar samples

C. M. Pieters, L. A. Taylor, S. K. Noble et al. · 1 Sep 2000

Abstract— Using new techniques to examine the products of space weathering of lunar soils, we demonstrate that nanophase reduced iron (npFe 0 ) is produced on the surface of grains by a combination of vapor deposition and irradiation effects. The optical properties of soils (both measured and modeled) are shown to be highly dependent on…

Modeling damage and deformation in impact simulations

G. S. Collins, H. J. Melosh, B. A. Ivanov · 1 Feb 2004

Abstract— Numerical modeling is a powerful tool for investigating the formation of large impact craters but is one that must be validated with observational evidence. Quantitative analysis of damage and deformation in the target surrounding an impact event provides a promising means of validation for numerical models of terrestrial impact craters, particularly in cases where…

Cometary glycine detected in samples returned by Stardust

Jamie E. Elsila, D. P. Glavin, Jason P. Dworkin · 1 Sep 2009

Abstract— Our previous analysis of cometary samples returned to Earth by NASA's Stardust spacecraft showed several amines and amino acids, but the origin of these compounds could not be firmly established. Here, we present the stable carbon isotopic ratios of glycine and ε‐amino‐ n ‐caproic acid (EACA), the two most abundant amino acids identified in…

Shock metamorphism of planetary silicate rocks and sediments: Proposal for an updated classification system

D. Stöffler, Christopher Hamann, K. Metzler · 29 Aug 2017

Abstract We reevaluate the systematics and geologic setting of terrestrial, lunar, Martian, and asteroidal “impactites” resulting from single or multiple impacts. For impactites derived from silicate rocks and sediments, we propose a unified and updated system of progressive shock metamorphism. “Shock‐metamorphosed rocks” occur as lithic clasts or melt particles in proximal impactites at impact craters,…

Meteoritics and Planetary Science template — frequently asked questions
