Abstract— Through freeze-thaw disaggregation of the Murchison meteorite, we have recovered a refractory inclusion, HIB-11, that is unique in terms of its texture, mineral compositions, and bulk composition. It consists of anhedral, Y-rich (1.6 wt% Y2O3) perovskite and lathlike spinel grains enclosed in a matrix of fine-grained, Sc-rich (10.5 wt% SC2O3 avg.), Ti-rich (12.6 wt% TiO2 avg., reporting all Ti as TiO2) clinopyroxene. The chondrite-normalized rare earth element (REE) pattern is complex, with light REE (LREE) at ～10× C1, abundances increasing from Gd through Ho (the latter at ～104× C1), decreasing through Yb at 200× C1, and Lu at ～400× C1. The pattern reflects several stages of high-temperature volatility fractionation. Removal of Lu and Er from the source gas in the first condensation event was followed by partial to complete removal of the somewhat less refractory heavy REE, Gd through Ho, in the HIB-11 precursors by condensation from the fractionated residual gas in a second event. Both of these events probably reflect condensation of REE into ZrO2 or a mixed Zr-, Sc-, Ti-, Y-oxide at temperatures too high for hibonite stability. A second, lower-temperature component, which was subsequently added, had fractionated (Nd-poor, Ce-rich) LREE abundances that resulted from condensation from a gas that had undergone prior removal of the more refractory LREE, resulting in enrichment in Ce and the most volatile REE, Eu and Yb. The aggregate was then melted and quickly cooled, forming a fine-grained spherule. This is the first reported inclusion in which the two most refractory REE, Lu and Er, are strongly fractionated from the other REE. An absence of mass fractionation among the Ti isotopes indicates that HIB-11 is not an evaporative residue, implying that volatility fractionation of trace elements took place during condensation. The fact that the two most refractory heavy REE could be separated from the other, only slightly less refractory heavy REE suggests that a wide variety of REE patterns is possible, and that ultrarefractory inclusions with other unusual REE patterns, important recorders of nebular condensation, may yet be discovered.  相似文献

Observed differences in the abundance ratios of moderately volatile elements found in ordinary chondrites relative to CI chondrites may have resulted from a continuous loss of nebular gas from the ordinary-chondrite formation region during condensation. If this occurred, the nebular volatility of these elements should be inversely correlated with their abundance ratios. Such a nebular gas loss can occur as a result of momentum exchange between solids and gases, as a result of interactions between the nebular gas and solar photons or particles at the surface of the nebula, or as a result of the settling of previously condensed solids to the median plane of the nebula.  相似文献

Abstract— The bulk chemical composition of Orgueil and 25 other carbonaceous chondrites was determined by x‐ray fluorescence analysis. The sample sizes of the analyzed meteorites were in all cases 120 mg. The abundances of P and Ti in Orgueil and Ivuna were precisely determined by the standard addition method. The new P CI abundance is 926 ± 65 ppm. Excluding the low P of Ivuna and one Orgueil sample with unusual chemistry gives a CI P content of 930 ± 23 ppm. A CI abundance of 926 ppm corresponds to a P/Si wt ratio of 8.66 times 10?3 (atomic ratio 7.85 times 10?3). For Ti a CI content of 458 ± 18 ppm and a Ti/Si wtratio of 4.28 times 10?3 (atomic ratio 2.51 times 10?3) were found. A Si content of 10.69% was obtained for average CI. The new P CI abundance is 20 to 30% below earlier estimates, while the Ti CI abundance is in agreement with earlier determinations. From the results of the analyses of bulk carbonaceous chondrites it is concluded: (1) Refractory element/Mg ratios increase from CI through CM and C3O to C3V, but ratios among Al, Ca and Ti are constant, except for low Ca/Al ratios in the reduced subgroup of C3V. (2) The Si/Mg ratios are constant in all groups of carbonaceous chondrites. (3) There is a volatility related depletion of Cr and Fe, but the Cr/Fe ratios are constant. (4) The sequence of volatility related depletions of the moderately volatile elements P, Au, As, Mn, and Zn follows condensation temperatures (except for As), if in condensation calculations non‐ideal solid solution in the host phase is considered.  相似文献

Abstract— The origin of the aubrite parent body (APB) and its relation to the enstatite chondrites is still unclear. Therefore we began a detailed chemical study of the aubrite Peña Blanca Spring. Bulk samples and mineral separates (oldhamite, troilite, alabandite, pyroxene) of Peña Blanca Spring were analyzed for major and trace elements by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). In addition, a leaching experiment was performed on a powdered bulk sample to study the distribution of trace elements in aubrite minerals. The elemental abundances in Peña Blanca Spring are compared to abundances in EH-chondrites and EL-chondrites in an attempt to distinguish volatility related fractionations (evaporation, condensation) from planetary differentiation (melting and core formation). Low abundances of siderophile (e.g., Ir) and chalcophile (e.g., V) elements in bulk samples indicate that 25% (by mass) metal and about 6% (by mass) sulfide separated from an enstatite chondrite like-parent body to form a core and a residual mantle with aubrite composition. We argue that the high observed rare earth element (REE) abundances in oldhamite (>100 × EH-chondrite normalized) reflect REE incorporation into oldhamite during nebular condensation. Thus, oldhamite in aubrites is, at least in part, a relict phase as originally proposed by Lodders and Palme (1990). Some re-equilibration of CaS with silicates has, however, occurred, leading to partial redistribution of REE, as exemplified by the uptake of Eu by plagioclase. The distribution of the REE among aubritic minerals cannot be the result of fractional crystallization, which would occur if high degrees of partial melting took place on the APB. Instead, the REE distributions indicate incomplete equilibrium of oldhamite and other phases. Therefore, a short non-equlibrium melting episode led to segregation of metal and sulfides.  相似文献

Abstract— We have produced corundum-bearing residues through the evaporation of natural and synthetic hibonite samples. The sequence of major element losses as well as volatility related trace element fractionations in these residues are similar to those previously observed in residues from the evaporation of chondritic starting material, which suggests that the processes by which these fractionations occur may be largely independent of the starting material used. However, the mineralogy of the residues does depend on the composition of the starting material and, to some extent, on the conditions under which evaporation took place. Similarly, the degree of isotopic mass fractionation observed in the residues is composition-dependent. This observation means that it may be possible to use isotopic data for several elements to constrain the compositions of precursor materials of Ca-Al-rich inclusions, which have an evaporation origin. Although corundum-bearing inclusions are known, their origins are complex and variable, and the scarcity of such inclusions indicates that melting of hibonite, with or without concomitant evaporation, must have been a rare process in the solar nebula. By evaporating mixtures of synthetic oxides of the rare earth elements, we have reproduced the patterns of Group III inclusions and some of the characteristics of ultrarefractory patterns. However, the extreme conditions required to do so indicate that refractory inclusions with these patterns probably have a condensation rather than evaporation origin.  相似文献

色球压缩区是耀斑大气动力学过程的一个基本特征，是产生色球谱线红不对称性的基础。本文基于压缩区从大气高层向低层传播的理论公式，在二种不同情况下，计算得到了压缩区内物质运动速度随高度和时间的变化．结果表明，色球蒸发区压力增量Δｐ为常数时压缩区之寿命比压缩区波阵面后的压力ｐ２为常数时要长得多，这就大大缓解了以往谱线不对称性的延续时间的理论值比观测值小的矛盾。形成高度不同的谱线具有不同程度的不对称性这一观测现象也同色球压缩区的传播特性相一致。  相似文献

Abstract— We have developed a nebular condensation model and a computational routine that potentially can account for the unequilibrated mineral assemblages in chondritic meteorites. The model assumes that as condensation proceeds, a specified fraction (called the isolation degree, ξ) of the existing condensate is steadily withdrawn from reactive contact with the residual gas, presumably as a result of the growth and aggregation of condensed mineral grains. The isolated condensates may remain in the condensing system as coarse inert objects; whereas, the mineral grains that are still in reactive contact with residual nebular gases are in the form of fine dust. This paper describes the condensation with partial isolation (CWPI) model of condensation and uses it to study condensation in a nebula of solar composition at a total pressure of 10?5 bar. The systematic isolation of condensates from residual nebular gases has profound effects on the condensation sequence. At ξ values <0.2%, the condensation sequence is essentially independent of the isolation degree and identical to the classic condensation sequence. At ξ values >2.5%, the condensation sequence is also independent of the isolation degree and closely resembles the “inhomogeneous accretion model” or “chemical disequilibrium model” of condensation. In the intermediate range of ξ values, the character of the condensation sequence is very sensitive to the degree of chemical fractionation caused by condensate isolation. The mineralogy of chondritic meteorites is not consistent with condensation sequences having ξ > 2.5; this is an upper limit on the ξ values that is characteristic of condensation in the solar nebula. The mineralogy and chemistry of carbonaceous and enstatite chondrites can be explained by accretion of isolated condensates formed at ξ values of ≤0.1% and 0.7–1.5%, respectively, providing that segregation of the inert coarse objects and fine reactive dust occurred in the nebula. Segregation of these two categories of condensate may have been responsible for the observed volatility-based chemical fractionations among chondritic meteorites.  相似文献

We simulate dynamically the downward propagation of the chromospheric condensation, which originates following the chromospheric evaporation during solar flares. Our attention is concentrated on the lower part of the atmosphere. The top of the chromosphere (base of the transition region) is regarded as the top boundary. The condensation is mimicked by assuming an impulsive pressure increase at the top boundary. Using such a method, we compute in detail the evolution process of a condensation. The results show that the condensation can penetrate into the deeper atmosphere, though it becomes very weak at the later phase. Moreover, we also discuss the possibility that the mass motions in the condensation may cause the asymmetries of some spectral lines as observations have indicated.  相似文献

187Re‐187Os systematics, abundances of highly siderophile elements (HSE: Re, PGE, and Au), chalcogen elements (Te, Se, and S), and some major and minor elements were determined in physically separated components of the Allende (CV3) and Murchison (CM2) carbonaceous chondrites. Substantial differences exist in the absolute and relative abundances of elements in the components, but the similarity of calculated and literature bulk rock abundances of HSE and chalcogens indicate that chemical complementarity exists among the components, with CI chondrite‐like ratios for many elements. Despite subsequent alteration and oxidation, the overall cosmochemical behavior of most moderately to highly siderophile elements during high‐temperature processing has been preserved in components of Allende at the sampling scale of the present study. The 187Re‐187Os systematics and element variations of Allende are less disturbed compared with Murchison, which reflects different degrees of oxidation and alteration of these meteorites. The HSE systematics (with the exception of Au) is controlled by two types of materials: Pd‐depleted condensates and CI chondrite‐like material. Enrichment and heterogeneous distribution of Au among the components is likely the result of hydrothermal alteration. Chalcogen elements are depleted compared with HSE in all components, presumably due to their higher volatility. Small systematic variations of S, Se, and Te in components bear the signature of fractional condensation/partial evaporation and metal–sulfide–silicate partitioning.  相似文献

We model the formation of solar quiescent prominences by solving numerically the non-linear, time-dependent, magnetohydrodynamic equations governing the condensation of the corona. A two-dimensional geometry is used. Gravitational and magnetic fields are included, but thermal conduction is neglected. The coronal fluid is assumed to cool by radiation and to be heated by the dissipation of mechanical energy carried by shock waves. A small, isobaric perturbation of the initial thermal and mechanical equilibrium is introduced and the fluid is allowed to relax. Because the corona with the given energy sources is thermally unstable, cooling and condensation result.When magnetic and gravitational fields are absent, condensation occurs isotropically with a strongly time-dependent growth rate, and achieves a density 18 times the initial density in 3.5 × 104 s. The rapidity of condensation is limited by hydrodynamical considerations, in contrast to the treatment of Raju (1968). When both magnetic and gravitational fields are included, the rate of condensation is inhibited and denser material falls.We conclude that: (1) condensation of coronal material due to thermal instability is possible if thermal conduction is inhibited; (2) hydrodynamical processes determine, in large part, the rate of condensation; (3) condensation can occur on a time scale compatible with the observed times of formation of quiescent prominences.The National Center for Atmospheric Research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation.  相似文献

We study the evolution of the mass motion velocity in the chromospheric condensation, when it propagates into the deeper atmosphere. The condensation is represented by a shock-like structure. Its momentum equation can be solved after some approximations. The computations are carried out for two cases, i.e., the case that the gas pressure just behind the condensation front is constant and the case that the pressure increase at the top of the condensation is constant. The results show that the duration of the condensation in the second case is considerably longer than that in the first case. The most evident difference of the velocity evolution between the two cases appears in their later phase. A comparison of the results in this paper with the dynamic simulations indicates that the second case may be closer to the real situation.  相似文献

Cadmium is a highly volatile element and its abundance in meteorites may help better understand volatility‐controlled processes in the solar nebula and on meteorite parent bodies. The large thermal neutron capture cross section of 113Cd suggests that Cd isotopes might be well suited to quantify neutron fluences in extraterrestrial materials. The aims of this study were (1) to evaluate the range and magnitude of Cd concentrations in magmatic iron meteorites, and (2) to assess the potential of Cd isotopes as a neutron dosimeter for iron meteorites. Our new Cd concentration data determined by isotope dilution demonstrate that Cd concentrations in iron meteorites are significantly lower than in some previous studies. In contrast to large systematic variations in the concentration of moderately volatile elements like Ga and Ge, there is neither systematic variation in Cd concentration amongst troilites, nor amongst metal phases of different iron meteorite groups. Instead, Cd is strongly depleted in all iron meteorite groups, implying that the parent bodies accreted well above the condensation temperature of Cd (i.e., ≈650 K) and thus incorporated only minimal amounts of highly volatile elements. No Cd isotope anomalies were found, whereas Pt and W isotope anomalies for the same iron meteorite samples indicate a significant fluence of epithermal and higher energetic neutrons. This observation demonstrates that owing to the high Fe concentrations in iron meteorites, neutron capture mainly occurs at epithermal and higher energies. The combined Cd‐Pt‐W isotope results from this study thus demonstrate that the relative magnitude of neutron capture‐induced isotope anomalies is strongly affected by the chemical composition of the irradiated material. The resulting low fluence of thermal neutrons in iron meteorites and their very low Cd concentrations make Cd isotopes unsuitable as a neutron dosimeter for iron meteorites.  相似文献

The influence of the chromospheric condensation on H line profiles for the thermal model of a solar flare has been empirically studied in this paper. The so-called thermal model here means that there is no temperature increase relative to the quiet-Sun chromosphere but with a chromospheric condensation in the lower part of its transition region, which case is assumed to represent the early stage of the impulsive phase. The main results include: when the temperature within the condensation region is assumed to be equal to that in front of it, the influence is to create an additional absorption profile overlapping on the original one; by increasing the condensation strength, the H line profile changes from a little line-center increase to broadened red asymmetry, then to the reversed red asymmetry, and finally to two independent absorption profiles; the thickness of the condensation determines the absorption of the additional profile; descending the transition region has no obvious effect on the basic characteristic of the H line profile except a little increase in the line center. Assuming that the temperature within the condensation is higher than that ahead of the condensation, the calculated H line profiles may be strong enough to be comparable with the observations. This means that if the condensation in the purely thermal model can reach a higher temperature, we may also use only thermal origin to explain a chromospheric flare.Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellow, on leave from Purple Mountain Observatory, Nanjing, China.  相似文献

For fayalite formation times of several thousand years, and systems enriched in water by a factor of ten relative to solar composition, 1 μm radius olivine grains could reach 2 mole% fayalite and 0.1 μm grains 5 mole% by nebular condensation, well short of the values appropriate for precursors of most chondrules and the values found in the matrices of unequilibrated ordinary chondrites. Even 10 μm olivine crystals could reach 30 mole% fayalite above 1100 K in solar gas if condensation of metallic nickel‐iron were delayed sufficiently by supersaturation. Consideration of the surface tensions of several phases with equilibrium condensation temperatures above that of metallic iron shows that, even if they were supersaturated, they would still nucleate homogeneously above the equilibrium condensation temperature of metallic iron. This phenomenon would have provided nuclei for heterogeneous nucleation of metallic nickel‐iron, thus preventing the latter from supersaturating significantly and preventing olivine from becoming fayalitic. Unless a way is found to make nebular regions far more oxidizing than in existing models, it is unlikely that chondrule precursors or the matrix olivine grains of unequilibrated ordinary chondrites obtained their fayalite contents by condensation processes. Perhaps stabilization of FeO occurred after condensation of water ice and accretion of icy planetesimals, during heating of the planetesimals and/or in hot, dense, water‐rich vapor plumes generated by impacts on them. This would imply that FeO is a relatively young feature of nebular materials.  相似文献

A model of filament formation based on the condensation of coronal arches is described. The condensation results from initiating the radiative instability within an arch by superimposing a transient energy supply upon the steady state heating mechanism. The transient energy supply increases the density within the arch so that when it is removed the radiative losses are sufficient to lead to cooling below the minimum in the power loss curve.Times from the initial formation of the condensation to its temperature stabilization as a cool filament have been calculated for various initial conditions. They lie in the range 104 to 105 s with the majority of the time spent above a temperature of 1 × 106 K.Under the assumption that the condensation of a single arch forms an element of the filament, a complete filament requires the condensation of an arcade of loops. Using experimentally derived parameters, filament densities of 1011 to 1012 cm–3 can be obtained.  相似文献

Abstract— Minor element (Ca, Cr, and Mn) concentrations in amoeboid olivine aggregates (AOAs) from primitive chondrites were measured and compared with those predicted by equilibrium condensation in the solar nebula. CaO concentrations in forsterite are low, particularly in porous aggregates. A plausible explanation appears that an equilibrium Ca activity was not maintained during the olivine condensation. CaO and MnO in forsterite are negatively correlated, with CaO being higher in compact aggregates. This suggests that the compact aggregates formed either by a prolonged reheating of the porous aggregates or by condensation and aggregation of forsterite during a very slow cooling in the nebula.  相似文献

In has been shown that the second moment of mass concentration characterize the periods of pulsation more effectively than central condensation.  相似文献

We used chemical equilibrium calculations to model thermal metamorphism of ordinary chondritic material as a function of temperature, pressure, and trace element abundance and use our results to discuss volatile mobilization during thermal metamorphism of ordinary chondrite parent bodies. We compiled trace element abundances in H-, L-, and LL-chondrites for the elements Ag, As, Au, Bi, Br, Cd, Cs, Cu, Ga, Ge, I, In, Pb, Rb, Sb, Se, Sn, Te, Tl, and Zn, and identified abundance trends as a function of petrographic type within each class. We calculated volatility sequences for the trace elements in ordinary chondritic material, which differ significantly from the solar nebula volatility sequence. Our results are consistent with open-system thermal metamorphism. Abundance patterns of Ag and Zn remain difficult to explain.  相似文献

The concepts on the spatially-periodic condensation in the solar system have been considered in the light of the general theory of the evolution of the solar system. It has been shown that as protodisks arise and compress, the role of hydromagnetic effects weakens. After the stage of spatially-periodic condensation and accretion, the concentration of gas in protodisks decreases and the role of hydromagnetic effects increases again. Specific features of the formation of planets near the Sun and satellites near the planets can be explained if these peculiarities of the evolution are taken into account. The corresponding role of the above processes has been evaluated numerically.The accretion of gas molecules both by jet streams arising after spatially-periodic condensation and by planet embryos has also been considered. Characteristic times of these processes have been estimated.The results obtained show that the general concept on the solar system evolution (Alfvén and Arrhenius, 1976) is in good agreement with the mechanism of spatially-periodic condensation, which takes place during the formation of primary rings of the solar and satellite systems (Gladyshev, 1977).  相似文献

We discuss the condensation phenomena in a very simple model, which allows for transparent calculations. We compare the condensation times of subsystems decoupled from the cosmological expansion in different approaches to Mach-Poincaré gravodynamics with Newtonian mechanics. In all cases contracting subsystems without inner rotation collapse, only the time-scales differ.  相似文献
