The physical properties of the stone meteorites provide important clues to understanding the
formation and physical evolution of material in the Solar protoplanetary disk as well …

X-ray computed tomography (XCT) is a powerful 3D imaging technique that has been used
to investigate meteorites, mission-returned samples, and other planetary materials of all …

Prior to becoming chondritic meteorites, primordial solids were a poorly consolidated mix of
mm-scale igneous inclusions (chondrules) and high-porosity sub-μm dust (matrix). We used …

Meteorites provide vast amounts of information on the make up and history of the solar
system. Physical properties are a critical component to provide this information. This is a …

Porosity is an essential property of chondritic meteorites and is closely related to the
genesis, thermal evolution, metamorphism, and thermal properties of the meteorite parent …

The presence and distribution of hydrogen‐bearing materials in meteorites are important
constraints on processes in the early solar system, and the delivery of volatile constituents to …

The ε182W ages of magmatic iron meteorites are largely within error of the oldest solar
system particles, apparently requiring a mechanism for segregation of metals to the cores of …

This study is aimed at recognizing possible sources of dispersion of density measurements
of welded ignimbritic rocks by helium pycnometer. The values of bulk density and solid …

Collisions and attendant shock compaction must have been important for the accretion and
lithification of planetesimals, including the parent bodies of chondrites, but the conditions …

Abstract Giant micrometeorites (MMs; 400–2000 µm) are exceedingly rare and scientifically
valuable. Three‐dimensional nondestructive characterization by X‐ray computed …
