Mass fractionation laws, mass-independent effects, and isotopic anomalies
Isotopic variations usually follow mass-dependent fractionation, meaning that the relative
variations in isotopic ratios scale with the difference in mass of the isotopes involved (eg …

A perspective from extinct radionuclides on a young stellar object: the Sun and its accretion disk
Meteorites, which are remnants of solar system formation, provide a direct glimpse into the
dynamics and evolution of a young stellar object (YSO), namely our Sun. Much of our …
