Journal ArticleDOI
Early chemical history of the solar system
TL;DR: In this article, the sequence of condensation of mineral phases from a cooling nebula of solar composition has been calculated by using equilibrium thermodynamics, and theoretical models suggest that the chemistry and mineralogy of Ca-Al-rich inclusions in C2 and C3 chondrites were established during condensation at temperatures above 1300 K.
Book ChapterDOI
Circumstellar Envelopes and Mass Loss of Red Giant Stars
TL;DR: The necessary incidence of mass loss from stars in advanced stages of evolution was recognized many years ago as mentioned in this paper, and it was recognized that stars with masses above 1.4m cannot stabilize themselves after exhaustion of the various sources of nuclear fuel and will finally collapse, releasing an enormous amount of energy in a supernova explosion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Astrophysics with Presolar Stardust
TL;DR: In this article, the astrophysical implications of stardust grains for the sciences of nucleosynthesis, stellar evolution, grain condensation, and the chemical and dynamic evolution of the Galaxy are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental Investigation of Photoemission from Satellite Surface Materials
Berndt Feuerbacher,B. Fitton +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the photoelectron flux under solar irradiation is calculated and methods for controlling photoemission both with respect to the number of emitted electrons and their energy distribution are discussed.
Book ChapterDOI
Composition, Structure, and Chemistry of Interstellar Dust
TL;DR: In this paper, the physical principles of grain surface chemistry are applied to the formation of molecular hydrogen and icy grain mantles inside dense molecular clouds and the astrophysical consequences are briefly examined.
