Comet 81P/Wild 2 under a microscope.

Donald E. Brownlee, +185 more
- 15 Dec 2006 - 
TL;DR: The Stardust spacecraft collected thousands of particles from comet 81P/Wild 2 and returned them to Earth for laboratory study, and preliminary examination shows that the nonvolatile portion of the comet is an unequilibrated assortment of materials that have both presolar and solar system origin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact features on Stardust : implications for Comet 81P/Wild 2 dust

TL;DR: Particles emanating from comet 81P/Wild 2 collided with the Stardust spacecraft at 6.1 kilometers per second, producing hypervelocity impact features on the collector surfaces that were returned to Earth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elemental Compositions of Comet 81P/Wild 2 Samples Collected by Stardust

George J. Flynn, +79 more
- 15 Dec 2006 - 
TL;DR: The elements Cu, Zn, and Ga appear enriched in this Wild 2 material, which suggests that the CI meteorites may not represent the solar system composition for these moderately volatile minor elements.
Journal ArticleDOI

An experimental study of the oxidation state of vanadium in spinel and basaltic melt with implications for the origin of planetary basalt

TL;DR: In this article, XANES spectra were measured on the spinel and glass products, and pre-edge peaks measured and calibrated against valence with the use of glass and oxide standards.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laboratory simulation of impacts on aluminum foils of the Stardust spacecraft: Calibration of dust particle size from comet Wild-2

TL;DR: In this paper, a suite of spherical glass projectiles of uniform density and hardness characteristics, with well-documented particle size range from 10 microns to nearly 100 microns, were used to detect hypervelocity impacts as bowl-shaped craters.
