Irradiation Records, Cosmic-Ray Exposure Ages, and Transfer Times of Meteorites
During the 4.56-G.y. history of the solar system, every meteorite experienced at least one exposure to cosmic rays as a meter-sized meteoroid. The cosmic-ray exposure (CRE) age of a meteorite measures the integral time of exposure to galactic cosmic rays (GCRs). A fraction of meteoritic material was also irradiated by cosmic rays before ejection from kilometer-sized parent bodies (pre-irradiati...
متن کاملAmino acids in the Martian meteorite Nakhla.
A suite of protein and nonprotein amino acids were detected with high-performance liquid chromatography in the water- and acid-soluble components of an interior fragment of the Martian meteorite Nakhla, which fell in Egypt in 1911. Aspartic and glutamic acids, glycine, alanine, beta-alanine, and gamma-amino-n-butyric acid (gamma-ABA) were the most abundant amino acids detected and were found pr...
متن کاملUnderstanding prebiotic chemistry through the analysis of extraterrestrial amino acids and nucleobases in meteorites.
The discoveries of amino acids of extraterrestrial origin in many meteorites over the last 50 years have revolutionized the Astrobiology field. A variety of non-terrestrial amino acids similar to those found in life on Earth have been detected in meteorites. A few amino acids have even been found with chiral excesses, suggesting that meteorites could have contributed to the origin of homochiral...
متن کاملEffect of in ovo feeding of amino acids and dextrose solutions on hatchability, body weight, intestinal development and liver glycogen reserves in newborn chicks
Early development of the digestive tract is crucial for achieving maximal growth and development of chickens. This study examined the effects of in ovo (IO) feeding of 0.70 mL of dextrose (10.00% and 20.00%) or amino acids solutions into the yolk sac at day 14 of incubation on small intestine histomorphometry and histomorphology, intestinal development, hatchability, body weight, and l...
متن کاملEjection (launch) Depths of Lunar Meteorites
More than 130 lunar meteorites have been found in Antarc-tica and other arid regions throughout the world. Even though nearly half of all lunar meteorites are paired falls and the location from which they were launched is unknown, they sample a more extensive area of lunar crust than manned sample returns, thereby providing a vital record of lunar crust materials. To use lunar meteorites to exp...
