All chondrites accreted∼ 3.5 wt.% C in their matrices, the bulk of which was in a
macromolecular solvent and acid insoluble organic material (IOM). Similar material to IOM is …

The CM chondrites are samples of primitive water-rich asteroids formed during the early
solar system. They record significant interaction between liquid water and silicate rock …

Early spectral data from the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and
Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) mission reveal evidence for abundant hydrated …

The CI chondrites are some of the most hydrated meteorites available to study, making them
ideal samples with which to investigate aqueous processes in the early Solar System. Here …

The presence of solid carbonaceous matter in cometary dust was established by the
detection of elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen in particles from …

How simple abiotic organic compounds evolve toward more complex molecules of
potentially prebiotic importance remains a missing key to establish where life possibly …

CM chondrites (CMs) are the most abundant group of carbonaceous chondrites. CMs
experienced varying degrees of secondary aqueous alteration and heating that modified or …

This paper is focused on the characterization of the thermal history of 151 CV, CO and
unequilibrated ordinary chondrites (UOCs) from the NASA Antarctic meteorite collection …

The CM carbonaceous chondrite meteorites provide a record of low temperature (< 150° C)
aqueous reactions in the early solar system. A number of CM chondrites also experienced …

Chondrites are exhumed from their parent bodies by impacts, which at the same time can
result in heating and mechanical modification (compaction, deformation, fracturing, etc.) …
