| Abstract: | Now extinct, short-lived radioactive nuclides, such as 7Be (T1/2 = 53 days), 10Be (T1/2 = 1.5 Ma), 26Al (T1/2 = 0.74 Ma), 36Cl (T1/2 = 0.3 Ma), 41Ca (T1/2 = 0.1 Ma), 53Mn (T1/2 = 3.7 Ma) and 60Fe (T1/2 = 1.5 Ma), were present in the protosolar nebula when the various components of meteorites formed. The presence of these radioactive isotopes requires a ‘last-minute’ origin, either nucleosynthesis in a massive star dying close in space and time to the nascent solar system or production by local irradiation of part of the protosolar disk by high-energy solar cosmic rays. In this review, we list: (i) the different observations indicating the existence of multiple origins for short-lived radioactive nuclides, namely 7Be, 10Be and 36Cl for irradiation scenario and 60Fe for injection scenario; (ii) the constraints that exist on their distribution (homogeneous or heterogeneous) in the accretion disk; (iii) the constraints they brought on the timescales of nebular processes (from Ca–Al-rich inclusions to chondrules) and of the accretion and differentiation of planetesimals. |
