Evidence for interstellar origin of seven dust particles collected by the Stardust spacecraft

Andrew J. Westphal, +65 more
- 15 Aug 2014 - 
TL;DR: The Stardust Interstellar Dust Collector captured seven particles and returned to Earth for laboratory analysis have features consistent with an origin in the contemporary interstellar dust stream and more than 50 spacecraft debris particles were also identified as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alteration assemblages in the nakhlites: Variation with depth on Mars

TL;DR: In this paper, the secondary mineral assemblages in the nakhlite meteorites, Lafayette, Governador Valadares (GV), Nakhla, Yamato (Y)-000593 ⁄ Y-000749 have been studied using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscope, and electron probe micro analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Widespread oxidized and hydrated amorphous silicates in CR chondrites matrices: Implications for alteration conditions and H2 degassing of asteroids

TL;DR: In this article, the mineralogy and Fe oxidation state of silicates in the matrices of 8 CR chondrites, from type 3 to type 1, were investigated using X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES).
Journal ArticleDOI

Chondrule fragments from Comet Wild2: Evidence for high temperature processing in the outer Solar System

TL;DR: Achlioptas et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that C2063, 1,154,1,0 (Track 154) and C2061 1,113,5 (Track 113) from the Stardust collection of Comet Wild2's coma have been studied by TEM and NanoSIMS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Final reports of the Stardust Interstellar Preliminary Examination

Andrew J. Westphal, +69 more
TL;DR: The results from the preliminary examination of this collection, the Stardust Interstellar Preliminary Examination (ISPE), were presented in this article, where extraterrestrial materials were found in two tracks in aerogel whose trajectories and morphology are consistent with an origin in the interstellar dust stream, and in residues in four impacts in the aluminum foil collectors.
