TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the evolution of Apollo 15 green glass and found that the ICE age of 3.8 + or - 0.4 eons overlaps the range of reported (Ar-39)-(Ar-40) ages and implies a distinct source region for green glass.

TL;DR: In this article, the isotopic abundances of atmospheric Ar were determined using a dynamically operated isotope ratio mass spectrometer with minor modifications and special gas handling techniques to avoid fractionation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the ultramafic pyroxenite Angra dos Reis meteorite was estimated to have an internal isochron age of 4.55 plus or minus 0.04 eons.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison between cosmogenic production rates and isotopic ratios predicted on the basis of nuclear systematics with those observed in well-documented lunar samples is made.
Abstract: Comparisons are made between cosmogenic production rates and isotopic ratios predicted on the basis of nuclear systematics with those observed in well-documented lunar samples. Although some significant differences are found, the agreement in general is surprisingly good. The predicted production rates for Ar-38 and Xe-126 agree reasonably well with observation but the predicted rate for Ne-21 appears to be too high; in most cases the predicted rate for Kr-83 agrees to within 50%, although some larger differences are apparent. There are some prominent cases in which predicted isotopic compositons differ from observation: Kr-78/Kr-83 trends in the wrong sense with the Zr/Sr ratio; Xe-124/Xe-126 is too large by about 13%; Xe-128/Xe-126 is too small by about 6%; Xe-130/Xe-126 is too low by 30-40%.

TL;DR: In this article, the production rate of the Ne-21 nuclide was estimated by four methods based on (Al-26)-age, (Mn-53)-age and Kr-81/Kr-83, and Na-22/Ne-21.

TL;DR: In this article, new abundance tables have been compiled for C1 chondrites and the solar photosphere and corona, based on a critical review of the literature to mid-1988.

TL;DR: The 2010 self-consistent set of values of the basic constants and conversion factors of physics and chemistry recommended by the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA) for international use is presented in this article.
Abstract: This paper gives the 2010 self-consistent set of values of the basic constants and conversion factors of physics and chemistry recommended by the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA) for international use. The 2010 adjustment takes into account the data considered in the 2006 adjustment as well as the data that became available from 1 January 2007, after the closing date of that adjustment, until 31 December 2010, the closing date of the new adjustment. Further, it describes in detail the adjustment of the values of the constants, including the selection of the final set of input data based on the results of least-squares analyses. The 2010 set replaces the previously recommended 2006 CODATA set and may also be found on the World Wide Web at physics.nist.gov/constants.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Lutetium-Hafnium radiogenic isotopic system is used as a chronometer and tracer of planetary evolution, and the Lu-Hf system parameters need to be more tightly constrained, in particular the LuHf isotopic composition of the chondritic uniform reservoir and, by extension, the bulk silicate Earth.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that none of the analyzed meteorite samples deviated more than 0.5 e-units from a 4.6-AE reference isochron and defined an initial 4.5-AE value for CHUR using the Juvinas data of Lugmair.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the theory necessary for interpreting cosmogenic nuclide data, reviews estimates of parameters, describes strategies and practical considerations in field applications, and assesses sources of error in interpreting Cosmogenic Nuclide measurements.
