variations in isotopic ratios scale with the difference in mass of the isotopes involved (eg …

Constraining the astrophysical origin of the p-nuclei through nuclear physics and meteoritic data

T Rauscher, N Dauphas, I Dillmann… - Reports on Progress …, 2013‏ - iopscience.iop.org
A small number of naturally occurring, proton-rich nuclides (the p-nuclei) cannot be made in

Hf–W–Th evidence for rapid growth of Mars and its status as a planetary embryo

N Dauphas, A Pourmand - Nature, 2011‏ - nature.com
Terrestrial planets are thought to have formed through collisions between large planetary
embryos of diameter∼ 1,000–5,000 km. For Earth, the last of these collisions involved an …
