We review the oxygen isotopic compositions of chondrite components (refractory inclusions,
chondrules, and matrix) and their inter-and intra-crystalline oxygen isotopic distributions …

Context. Coagulation theory predicts that micron-sized dust grains grow into pebbles, which
drift inward towards the star when they reach sizes of mm− cm. When they cross the orbit of …

We conducted numerical simulations of the dust heating in accretion shocks induced by the
interaction between the infalling envelope and the Keplerian disk surrounding a protostar, in …

Many solids in the early Solar System, especially chondrules, were thermally processed in
transient heating events. One proposed mechanism is passage of these solids through …

Shock-wave heating is a leading candidate for the mechanisms of chondrule formation. This
mechanism forms chondrules when the shock velocity is in a certain range. If the shock …

Several pieces of evidence suggest that silicate grains in primitive meteorites are not
interstellar grains but condensates formed in the early solar system. Moreover, the size …

Primitive meteorites are dominated by millimeter-size silicate spherules called chondrules.
The nature of the high-temperature events that produced them in the early Solar System …

We discuss the possibility of the erosion of dusty bodies in protoplanetary disks by a
subsonic laminar gas flow. Our analysis is based on wind tunnel experiments on centimeter …

The most fundamental reason that transient heating events were important in the formation
of the solar system is that they provided the energy to produce chondrules and refractory …

We have conducted time and ƒO 2-dependent oxygen isotope exchange experiments
between chondrule analogue melts and H 2 O in the phase. The aim of our study is to …
