Neutron captures produce the vast majority of abundances of elements heavier than iron in
the Universe. Beyond the classical slow (s) and rapid (r) processes, there is observational …

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 …

The age of Jupiter, the largest planet in our Solar System, is still unknown. Gas-giant planet
formation likely involved the growth of large solid cores, followed by the accumulation of gas …

Understanding core formation in meteorite parent bodies is critical for constraining the
fundamental processes of protoplanet accretion and differentiation within the solar …

This book is a welcome introduction and reference for users and innovators in
geochronology. It provides modern perspectives on the current state-of-the art in most of the …

Isotope anomalies among planetary bodies provide key constraints on planetary genetics
and the solar system's dynamical evolution. However, to unlock the full potential of these …

We look at the relationship between the value of ε54Cr in bulk meteorites and the time (after
calcium‐aluminum‐rich inclusion, CAI) when their parent bodies accreted. To obtain …

Renazzo-type carbonaceous (CR) chondrites are distinct from most other chondrites in
having younger chondrule 26 Al-26 Mg ages, but the significance of these ages and whether …

The short-lived Hf-W isotope system has a wide range of important applications in
cosmochemistry and geochemistry. The siderophile behavior of W, combined with the …

Nucleosynthetic isotope anomalies in bulk chondrites and differentiated meteorites reflect
variable proportions of isotopically diverse presolar components in bulk planetary bodies …
