The highly siderophile elements (HSE: Os, Ir, Ru, Rh, Pt, Pd, Re, Au) are key tracers of
planetary accretion and differentiation processes due to their affinity for metal relative to …

Understanding the formation of our planetary system requires identification of the materials
from which it originated and the accretion processes that produced the planets. The …

Solar photospheric and meteoritic CI chondrite abundance determinations for all elements
are summarized and the best currently available photospheric abundances are selected …

A compilation of data on 78 elements in the nine groups of chondrites shows each to be
isochemical with the exception of a few volatiles. With the exception of the most volatile …

In Earth and planetary sciences, the chemical composition of chondritic meteorites provides
an essential reference to constrain the composition and differentiation history of planetary …

The chemical species containing carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen in atmospheres of giant
planets, brown dwarfs (T and L dwarfs), and low-mass stars (M dwarfs) are identified as part …

Moderately volatile elements (MVEs) are sensitive tracers of vaporisation in geological and
cosmochemical processes owing to their balanced partitioning between vapour and …

Full equilibrium calculations of the sequence of condensation of the elements from cosmic
gases made by total vaporization of dust-enriched systems were performed in order to …

A petrologic, geochemical and oxygen isotopic study of eight meteorites, identified as CR
(Renazzo-type) chondrites, reveals that they have a set of similar properties that …

The chondrules, calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs), and rims in chondritic meteorites
could be formed when solid bodies are lifted by the aerodynamic drag of a …
