Disagreement regarding the origin of the bulk silicate Earth's (BSE) superchondritic
carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio is due, in part, to the unknown C/N ratios of differentiated …

In the Solar system, short-lived radioisotopes, such as 26Al, played a crucial role during the
formation of planetary bodies by providing a significant additional source of heat. Notably …

Abstract 15 N/14 N ratios of meteorites are a powerful tool for tracing the journey of life-
essential volatiles like nitrogen (N), carbon and water from nebular solids to the present-day …

Moderately siderophile elements (MSEs) are potential tracers of the thermodynamic
conditions prevailing during planetary core formation because their metal–silicate partition …

Abstract The meteorite Erg Chech (EC) 002 is the oldest felsic igneous rock from the solar
system analyzed to date and provides a unique opportunity to study the formation of felsic …

Whilst the formation of Solar system planets is constrained by meteoritic evidence, the
geophysical history of low-mass exoplanets is much less clear. The bulk composition and …

The history of accretion and differentiation processes in the planetesimals is provided by
various groups of meteorites. Sampling different parent body layers, they reveal the …

Primitive achondrites represent residual mantle material of planetesimals from which up to
20% partial melts were extracted. Melting experiments on chondritic compositions suggest …

Outgassing is a central process during the formation and evolution of terrestrial planets and
their atmospheres both within and beyond the solar system. Although terrestrial planets' …

Achondrites provide an opportunity to examine the igneous processes of differentiated
bodies in our solar system. The recent discovery of several silica‐rich achondrites suggests …
