High‐energy gamma rays (HEGRs) from Ceres’s surface were measured using Dawn's Gamma Ray and Neutron Detector (GRaND). Models of cosmic‐ray‐initiated gamma ray production predict that the HEGR flux will inversely vary with single‐layer hydrogen concentrations for Ceres‐like compositions. The measured data confirm this prediction. The hydrogen‐induced variations in HEGR rates were decoupled from the measurements by detrending the HEGR data with Ceres single‐layer hydrogen concentrations determined by GRaND neutron measurements. Models indicate that hydrogen‐detrended HEGR counting rates correlate with water‐free average atomic mass, which is denoted as <A>*. HEGR variations across Ceres’s surface are consistent with <A>* variations of ±0.5 atomic mass units. Chemical variations in the CM and CI chondrites, our closest analogs to Ceres’s surface, suggest that <A>* variations on Ceres are primarily driven by variations in the concentration of Fe, although other elements such as Mg and S could contribute. Dawn observations have shown that Ceres’s interior structure and surface composition have been modified by some combination of physical (i.e., ice‐rock fractionation) and/or chemical (i.e., alteration) processes that has led to variations in bulk surface chemistry. Locations of the highest inferred <A>* values, and thus possibly the highest Fe and least altered materials, tend to be younger, less cratered surfaces that are broadly associated with the impact ejecta of Ceres’s largest craters.  相似文献   

Ambient and cold‐temperature infrared spectra and XRD patterns of ammoniated phyllosilicates and carbonaceous chondrite meteorites relevant to Ceres and other solar system bodies          下载免费PDF全文

Mg‐phyllosilicate‐bearing, dark surface materials on the dwarf planet Ceres have NH₄‐bearing materials, indicated by a distinctive 3.06 μm absorption feature. To constrain the identity of the Ceres NH₄‐carrier phase(s), we ammoniated ground particulates of candidate materials to compare their spectral properties to infrared data acquired by Dawn's Visible and Infrared (VIR) imaging spectrometer. We treated Mg‐, Fe‐, and Al‐smectite clay minerals; Mg‐serpentines; Mg‐chlorite; and a suite of carbonaceous meteorites with NH₄‐acetate to exchange ammonium. Serpentines and chlorites showed no evidence for ammoniation, as expected due to their lack of exchangeable interlayer sites. Most smectites showed evidence for ammoniation by incorporation of NH₄⁺ into their interlayers, resulting in the appearance of absorptions from 3.02 to 3.08 μm. Meteorite samples tested had weak absorptions between 3.0 and 3.1 μm but showed little clear evidence for enhancement upon ammoniation, likely due to the high proportion of serpentine and other minerals relative to expandable smectite phases or to NH₄⁺ complexing with organics or other constituents. The wavelength position of the smectite NH₄ absorption showed no variation between IR spectra acquired under dry‐air purge at 25 °C and under vacuum at 25 °C to ?180 °C. Collectively, data from the smectite samples show that the precise center wavelength of the characteristic ~3.05 μm v₃ absorption in NH₄ is variable and is likely related to the degree of hydrogen bonding of NH₄‐H₂O complexes. Comparison with Dawn VIR spectra indicates that the hypothesis of Mg‐saponite as the ammonium carrier phase is the simplest explanation for observed data, and that Ceres dark materials may be like Cold Bokkeveld or Tagish Lake but with proportionally more Mg‐smectite.  相似文献   

Aerosol Measurements in the Atmospheric Surface Layer at L’Aquila,Italy: Focus on Biogenic Primary Particles     

Giovanni Pitari  Eleonora Coppari  Natalia De Luca  Piero Di Carlo  Loretta Pace 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》2014,171(9):2425-2441

Two year measurements of aerosol concentration and size distribution (0.25 μm < d < 30 μm) in the atmospheric surface layer, collected in L’Aquila (Italy) with an optical particle counter, are reported and analysed for the different modes of the particle size distribution. A different seasonal behaviour is shown for fine mode aerosols (largely produced by anthropogenic combustion), coarse mode and large-sized aerosols, whose abundance is regulated not only by anthropogenic local production, but also by remote natural sources (via large scale atmospheric transport) and by local sources of primary biogenic aerosols. The observed total abundance of large particles with diameter larger than 10 μm is compared with a statistical counting of primary biogenic particles, made with an independent technique. Results of these two observational approaches are analysed and compared to each other, with the help of a box model driven by observed meteorological parameters and validated with measurements of fine and coarse mode aerosols and of an atmospheric primary pollutant of anthropogenic origin (NO_x). Except in winter months, primary biogenic particles in the L’Aquila measurement site are shown to dominate the atmospheric boundary layer population of large aerosol particles with diameter larger than 10 μm (about 80 % of the total during summer months), with a pronounced seasonal cycle, contrary to fine mode aerosols of anthropogenic origin. In order to explain these findings, the main mechanisms controlling the abundance and variability of particulate matter tracers in the atmospheric surface layer are analysed with the numerical box-model.  相似文献

麦卡因大型VMS型Au-Ag-Cu-Zn-Pb矿床位于中哈萨克斯坦西北部的Baidaulet-Akbastau地区。地质剖面测量和岩石薄片研究表明,麦卡因矿区发育中基性火山岩(玄武岩和安山岩)和次火山岩(辉绿-辉长岩和辉绿岩),矿化主要与安山岩有关。对矿区火山岩地球化学分析表明,矿区岩石分为两种类型:类型Ⅰ为拉斑-钙碱性系列中基性火山岩(玄武岩和安山岩)和次火山岩(辉绿-辉长岩和辉绿岩),岩石具平坦的稀土配分模式,亏损Nb和富集Th/Yb,显示俯冲特点;类型Ⅱ为钙碱性系列安山岩,具典型的右倾型稀土配分模式,亏损Nb和富集Th/Yb,指示其形成于岛弧环境。含矿岩石为类型Ⅱ安山岩。对类型Ⅱ安山岩进行了锆石Lu-Hf同位素和SIMS U-Pb年龄分析,结果表明,锆石εHf(t)为较高的正值(+4.28~+14.84),指示其是地幔物质部分熔融的产物,锆石SIMS U-Pb年龄为459.1±4.8Ma,指示其成岩年龄属于晚奥陶世。因此,哈萨克斯坦麦卡因大型VMS型矿床含矿火山岩为钙碱性系列安山岩,形成于晚奥陶世岛弧环境。对比研究认为,哈萨克斯坦早古生代波谢库尔-成吉思斑岩型-VMS型成矿带向东延伸到我国西准噶尔沙尔布提山,沙尔布提山具有形成VMS型矿床的岩浆条件和构造环境。  相似文献   

Yellow impact glass from the K/T boundary at Beloc (Haiti): XANES determination of the Fe oxidation state and implications for formation conditions     

Gabriele GIULI  Sigrid Griet EECKHOUT  Christian KOEBERL  Giovanni PRATESI  Eleonora PARIS 《Meteoritics & planetary science》2008,43(5):981-986

Abstract— We determined the iron oxidation state and coordination number in five samples of yellow impact glass from the Cretaceous‐Tertiary (K/T) boundary section at Beloc, Haiti, which formed as the result of impact melting during the Chicxulub impact event. The samples were analyzed by Fe K‐edge XANES spectroscopy and the results were compared with published data on eight black impact glasses and one high Si‐K impact spherule from the same impact layer. The pre‐edge peak of our high‐resolution XANES spectra displays evident variations indicative of significant changes in the Fe oxidation state, spanning a wide range from about 75 to 100 mole% Fe³⁺. Yellow K/T glasses have significantly higher Fe³⁺/(Fe²⁺ + Fe³⁺) ratios compared to black K/T impact glasses (from 20 to 75 mole% Fe³⁺) and high Si‐K glass (20 mole% Fe³⁺). In particular, all the pre‐edge peak data on these three types of impact glasses plot between two mixing lines joining a point calculated as the mean of a group of tektites studied so far (consisting of ^[4]Fe²⁺ and ^[5]Fe²⁺) to ^[4]Fe³⁺ and ^[5]Fe³⁺, respectively. Thus, the XANES spectra of the yellow K/T glasses can be interpreted as a mixture of ^[4]Fe^{2+, [5]}Fe^{2+, [4]}Fe³⁺, and ^[5]Fe³⁺. Our observations can be explained by a very large range of oxygen fugacity conditions during melt formation. Furthermore, there is a clear positive relationship between the Fe³⁺/(Fe²⁺ + Fe³⁺) ratio and the Ca content of these glasses, suggesting that the Fe oxidation state was influenced by the relative contribution of Ca‐sulfate‐ and Ca‐carbonate‐bearing sedimentary rocks at the impact site.  相似文献   

Australasian microtektites from Antarctica: XAS determination of the Fe oxidation state     

Gabriele Giuli  Maria Rita Cicconi  Sigrid Griet Eeckhout  Giovanni Pratesi  Eleonora Paris  Luigi Folco 《Meteoritics & planetary science》2014,49(4):696-705

The Fe oxidation state and coordination number of 29 impact glass spherules recently recovered from the Transantarctic Mountains (Antarctica) have been determined by X‐ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy. Based on geochemical, isotopic, and fission track data, these spherules are considered as microtektites from the Australasian tektite/microtektite strewn field. Their find location is the farthest so far discovered from the possible source crater region, and their alkali content is the lowest compared with other published data on Australasian microtektite glasses. The Fe³⁺/(Fe²⁺+Fe³⁺) ratio, determined from the analysis of the pre‐edge peak energy position and integrated intensity, is below 0.1 (±0.04) for all the samples, and is comparable to that of most tektites and microtektites from the Australasian strewn field. Also, the pre‐edge peak integrated intensity, which is sensitive to the average Fe coordination geometry, is comparable to that of other Australasian microtektites reported in the literature. The agreement of the Fe oxidation state and coordination number, between the Transantarctic Mountain microtektites (TAM) and the Australasian tektites and microtektites, further confirms the impact origin of these glass spherules and provides an independent suggestion that they represent a major extension southeastward of the Australasian strewn field. The fact that similar redox conditions are observed in tektites and microtektites within the Australasian strewn field regardless of the distance from the source crater area (up to approximately 11000 km) could be an important constraint for better understanding the different processes affecting microtektite formation and transport. The fact that the Fe oxidation state of microtektites does not increase with distance, as in the case of North American microtektites, means that thermal and redox histories of Australasian and TAM microtektites could differ significantly from those of North American microtektites.  相似文献   

Unraveling the hidden origin and migration of plagioclase phenocrysts by in situ Sr isotopes: the case of final dome activity at Nisyros volcano,Greece     

Eleonora?BraschiEmail author  Lorella?Francalanci  Simone?Tommasini  George?E.?Vougioukalakis 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2014,167(3):988

This contribution reports a detailed study on in situ Sr isotope analyses, along with textural and compositional characteristics, of plagioclase phenocrysts occurring in the rhyodacitic dome-lavas and associated mafic enclaves, erupted during the last magmatic activity at Nisyros volcano (Greece). Dome-lavas and enclaves have a paragenesis dominated by plagioclase. We recognize five different types of plagioclase based on their specific textures and composition. Dome-lava plagioclases (Type-1) are mainly large (1–5 mm), subhedral, clear, and poorly zoned crystals with low An content (An_25–35). The plagioclase phenocrysts (Type-4 and Type-5) and groundmass microlites crystallizing in the enclaves, and found in dome-lavas as xenocrysts, have high An content (An_75–95). In both dome-lavas and enclaves, two other types of plagioclase do also occur: (1) plagioclase phenocrysts with size and core composition similar to those of Type-1 having a dusty sieve zone (DSZ) at the rims (Type-2); (2) plagioclases with a DSZ affecting the entire crystal but a thin rim (Type-3). The drilled plagioclases have ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr negatively correlated with their An content. Low An cores of Type-1 and Type-2 have quite homogeneous ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr (0.7044–0.7046), whose values are more radiogenic than their host magmas (0.70403–0.70408) and similar to those of the previous Upper Pumice (UP) rhyolite magma (0.70438–0.70456). The DSZs of Type-2 and Type-3 show lower and scattered ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr (0.70397–0.70426) with intermediate and variable An content. High An cores of Type-4 and Type-5 have the least radiogenic Sr isotope composition (0.70379) in equilibrium with that measured in the enclaves (0.70384–0.70389). We demonstrate that Type-1 plagioclase crystallizes in the previous UP rhyolitic magmas representing the silica-rich magma from which the dome-lava melts derived by open system evolutionary processes (e.g., mixing, mingling, and crystal migration), caused by successive refilling of mafic enclave-forming magma. The Type-2 plagioclase derives from entrainment of Type-1 into the still molten enclave magma. The DSZs originated in response to the interaction between the low An plagioclase and the enclave mafic melt in which dissolution and re-crystallization acted together as function of the interaction time. Type-1 and Type-2 plagioclases record, therefore, a long-lived timescale of events starting from their crystallization in the UP rhyolite. Instead, the different width of DSZs (Type-2 and Type-3) seems to indicate short different interaction timescales between the single crystals and the enclave melt (from few hours to some 40 days). These microanalytical data contribute to the understanding of the origin of the rhyodacitic dome-lavas at Nisyros volcano and to set robust constraints on the dynamics of mingling/mixing processes in terms of crystal exchange pathways and enclave disaggregation.  相似文献   

Iron oxidation state in impact glass from the K/T boundary at Beloc,Haiti, by high‐resolution XANES spectroscopy     

Gabriele Giuli  Sigrid Griet Eeckhout  Eleonora Paris  Christian Koeberl  Giovanni Pratesi 《Meteoritics & planetary science》2005,40(11):1575-1580

Abstract— We examined the local iron environment in nine impact glasses from the Cretaceous‐Tertiary (K/T) boundary section at Beloc, Haiti, which formed as the result of impact melting during the Chicxulub impact event. The samples have been analyzed by Fe K‐edge high‐resolution X‐ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy to obtain data on both the Fe oxidation state and the coordination number. The pre‐edge peak of our high‐resolution XANES spectra display noticeable variations indicative of significant changes in the Fe oxidation state spanning a wide range from about 20 to 75 mol% trivalent Fe. All data plot along the same trend, falling between two mixing lines joining a point calculated as the mean of a group of tektites studied so far (consisting of four‐ and five‐coordinated Fe²⁺) to ^[4]Fe³⁺ and ^[5]Fe³⁺, respectively. Thus, the XANES spectra can be interpreted as a mixture of ^[4]Fe²⁺, ^[5]Fe²⁺, ^[4]Fe³⁺, and ^[5]Fe³⁺. There is no evidence for six‐fold coordinated Fe; however, its presence in small amounts cannot be excluded from XANES data alone. Our observations can be explained by two possible scenarios: either these impact glasses formed under very reducing conditions and, because of their small size, were easily oxidized in air while still molten, or they formed under a variety of different oxygen fugacities resulting in different Fe oxidation states. In the first case, the oxidation state and coordination number would imply similar formation conditions as splash‐form tektites, followed by progressive oxidation.  相似文献   

Correction to: Impact of climate change on landslides frequency: the Esino river basin case study (Central Italy)     

Lorenzo Sangelantoni  Eleonora Gioia  Fausto Marincioni 《Natural Hazards》2018,92(2):885-905

We refine the 1-D velocity model of the Central India Tectonic Zone (CITZ) using well-selected arrival times of P- and S-phases of 354 local earthquakes of magnitude (M_w) between 2.0 and 5.8, recorded by national seismic network from May 1997 to March 2016. Further, we have determined the source mechanisms of 26 selected local events using moment tensor inversion to characterize the dynamics beneath the CITZ. The best-fit simulation between observed and synthetic waveforms obtained the nodal and auxiliary planes of the each faults associated with the earthquake moment magnitude (M_w) for each event. Depth of the fault plane along the CITZ varies from 5 to 38 km. From this study, we found that the western part along the CITZ shows minimum focal depth and reaches maximum 38 kms at Jabalpur in the eastern part. This complex nature of earthquake dynamics occurrence along the CITZ. We propose that the curviplanar the CITZ dominated with sinistral curvature is subjected to compression along the longer ~E–W segments and transtension along shorter segments with ~NE–SW orientations. The occurrences of normal faulting, intrusion of mafic plutons and CLVD mechanisms for earthquakes are interpreted to be linked to the transtension zones and reverse mechanisms associated with the compressions along ~E–W segments.  相似文献   

哈萨克斯坦努尔卡斯甘大型富金斑岩铜矿地质特征及金赋存状态

努尔卡斯甘富金斑岩铜矿位于中哈萨克斯坦,是中亚成矿域西段重要的早古生代斑岩型铜金矿床,其形成与早志留世花岗闪长斑岩和石英闪长玢岩有关。矿体由浸染状、(网)脉状和角砾状矿石组成,主要产于花岗闪长斑岩、石英闪长玢岩和石英闪长岩体内以及岩体周围的火山岩地层中。矿床内发育热液磁铁矿、金红石和热液硬石膏。矿区热液蚀变强烈,早期发育青磐岩化和钾钙硅酸盐化(钾长石-阳起石化),随后广泛发育中级泥化,到晚期发育绢云母化。铜矿化与钾钙硅酸盐化和中级泥化蚀变密切相关,矿石矿物主要为黄铜矿,少量斑铜矿和蓝辉铜矿。金矿化主要与中级泥化蚀变关系密切,少量与钾钙硅酸盐化蚀变有关。金矿物主要为细粒自然金和银金矿(多小于10μm)。自然金赋存在蚀变岩中,与硅酸盐矿物关系密切,分布在它们表面、颗粒之间(粒间金)、晶体内(包裹金)和内部裂隙之中(裂隙金,少量)。银金矿主要呈包裹金的形式赋存在于与中级泥化蚀变相关的热液角砾岩的黄铜矿胶结物中。努尔卡斯甘斑岩铜金矿床属于高氧化-高硫岩浆-热液成矿体系,金的大规模沉淀很可能与SO_2歧化反应以及磁铁矿和硬石膏大量结晶而造成的高氧化-高硫成矿热液的SO_4~(2-)/H_2S比值和pH显著降低有关。  相似文献
