The great isotopic dichotomy of the early Solar System

TS Kruijer, T Kleine, LE Borg - Nature Astronomy, 2020 - nature.com
The isotopic composition of meteorites and terrestrial planets holds important clues about
the earliest history of the Solar System and the processes of planet formation. Recent work …

The non-carbonaceous–carbonaceous meteorite dichotomy

T Kleine, G Budde, C Burkhardt, TS Kruijer… - Space Science …, 2020 - Springer
The isotopic dichotomy between non-carbonaceous (NC) and carbonaceous (CC)
meteorites indicates that meteorite parent bodies derive from two genetically distinct …

Bifurcation of planetary building blocks during Solar System formation

T Lichtenberg, J Dra̧żkowska, M Schönbächler… - Science, 2021 - science.org
Geochemical and astronomical evidence demonstrates that planet formation occurred in two
spatially and temporally separated reservoirs. The origin of this dichotomy is unknown. We …

The isotopic nature of the Earth's accreting material through time

N Dauphas - Nature, 2017 - nature.com
The Earth formed by accretion of Moon-to Mars-size embryos coming from various
heliocentric distances. The isotopic nature of these bodies is unknown. However, taking …

238U/235U Systematics in Terrestrial Uranium-Bearing Minerals

J Hiess, DJ Condon, N McLean, SR Noble - Science, 2012 - science.org
The present-day 238U/235U ratio has fundamental implications for uranium-lead
geochronology and cosmochronology. A value of 137.88 has previously been considered …

[HTML][HTML] Accretion and differentiation of the terrestrial planets with implications for the compositions of early-formed Solar System bodies and accretion of water

DC Rubie, SA Jacobson, A Morbidelli, DP O'Brien… - Icarus, 2015 - Elsevier
In order to test accretion simulations as well as planetary differentiation scenarios, we have
integrated a multistage core–mantle differentiation model with N-body accretion simulations …

Molybdenum isotopic evidence for the late accretion of outer Solar System material to Earth

G Budde, C Burkhardt, T Kleine - Nature Astronomy, 2019 - nature.com
Earth grew through collisions with Moon-sized to Mars-sized planetary embryos from the
inner Solar System, but it also accreted material from greater heliocentric distances …

A long-lived magma ocean on a young Moon

M Maurice, N Tosi, S Schwinger, D Breuer… - Science advances, 2020 - science.org
A giant impact onto Earth led to the formation of the Moon, resulted in a lunar magma ocean
(LMO), and initiated the last event of core segregation on Earth. However, the timing and …

Heterogeneous accretion, composition and core–mantle differentiation of the Earth

DC Rubie, DJ Frost, U Mann, Y Asahara… - Earth and Planetary …, 2011 - Elsevier
A model of core formation is presented that involves the Earth accreting heterogeneously
through a series of impacts with smaller differentiated bodies. Each collision results in the …

Geophysical and cosmochemical evidence for a volatile-rich Mars

A Khan, PA Sossi, C Liebske, A Rivoldini… - Earth and Planetary …, 2022 - Elsevier
Constraints on the composition of Mars principally derive from chemical analyses of a set of
Martian meteorites that rely either on determinations of their refractory element abundances …
