In this paper, the characteristics of presolar dust are discussed and evidence is provided to support the possibility that presolar sand was the primary building material for the meteorites and terrestrial planets.
Abstract
The characteristics of presolar dust are discussed and evidence is provided to support the possibility that presolar dust was the primary building material for the meteorites and terrestrial planets The material in the sun's parent molecular cloud is divided into eight reservoirs The results show that presolar dust and objects made from processed dust make up the vast majority of the material in primitive chondrites The present theory is able to account for the chemical and oxygen isotopic variations between meteorite classes, the formation of chondrules, the accretion of chondrites, and parent body metamorphism

Toward an Astrophysical Theory of Chondrites

TL;DR: 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 magnetocentrifugally driven wind out of the relative cool of a shaded disk close to the star into the heat of direct sunlight.

On the origin and early evolution of terrestrial planet atmospheres and meteoritic volatiles

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple analytic model of mass fractionation in hydrodynamic escape is applied to the problem of the origin and evolution of terrestrial planet atmospheres and meteoritic noble gases from primordial compositions.

Presolar diamond, sic, and graphite in primitive chondrites : abundances as a function of meteorite class and petrologic type

TL;DR: In this article, diamond and SiC were found in unmetamorphosed members of all seven chondrite classes and evidence for graphite was found in Orgued (CI) and LL3.1 chondrites.

A model of the thermal processing of particles in solar nebula shocks: Application to the cooling rates of chondrules

TL;DR: In this article, a model for the thermal processing of particles in shock waves typical of the solar nebula is presented, and the model is applied to the melting and cooling of chondrules.

Synthesis of the Elements in Stars

TL;DR: In this article, a count of the stable and radioactive elements and isotopes is given, and Table I,1 shows that only promethium has not been found in nature, whereas 99 elements are found terrestrially and technetium is found in stars.
