Presolar grains in meteorites and interplanetary dust: An overview
نویسندگان
چکیده
Small amounts of pre-solar grains have survived in the matrices of primitive meteorites and interplanetary dust particles. Their detailed study in the laboratory with modern analytical tools provides highly accurate and detailed information with regard to stellar nucleosynthesis and evolution, grain formation in stellar atmospheres, and Galactic Chemical Evolution. Their survival puts constraints on conditions they were exposed to in the interstellar medium and in the Early Solar System.

Circumstellar aluminum oxide and silicon carbide in interplanetary dust particles
A systematic NanoSIMS isotope imaging study of sub-micrometer phases in interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) has led to the discovery of two presolar grain types that previously were observed only in primitive meteorites. A 350 · 600 nm Al2O3 grain has a large O enrichment and a slight O depletion, as well as a Mg excess due to the decay of extinct Al. Because of its relatively large size and p...

متن کاملSurvey of ‘Low-Z’ Particles from the Interplanetary Dust Collection in Search of IDPs
Micrometeorites are one of the most common types of extraterrestrial material that fall to the Earth, beside meteorites and interplanetary dust particles (IDPs). All of these materials are known to contain presolar grains that, when studied in the laboratory, provide information about the origin of the solar system and help to constrain models of nucleosynthesis in stars. Recent studies of micr...
متن کاملDust from AGB stars
Dust is formed in the expanding atmosphere during late stages of stellar evolution. Dust influences the dynamics and thermodynamics of the stellar atmosphere by its opacity. The dust opacity depends both on the optical properties of the grain material as well as on the amount of dust present. A rich source of information on some mineral phases of dust in AGB stars comes from the study of presol...
متن کاملNucleosynthesis and Chemical Evolution of Oxygen
Of the elements strictly synthesized in stars, oxygen is by far the most abundantly produced. We review the nucleosynthesis and Galactic chemical evolution of this important element. We then review its isotopic composition in presolar grains recovered from primitive meteorites and from interplanetary dust particles. As we describe, knowledge of these isotopic compositions provide important cons...
