Isotopic Anomalies

AbstractApproximately 1/3 of interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) and some primitive meteorites have large excesses in D and/or 15N compared to terrestrial materials. Constraints on the nature and origin of the carriers of these isotopic anomalies are reviewed. Special attention is given to a recently discovered extremely D-rich cluster IDP.

Isotopic Anomalies

Meteorites and interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) are primitive solar system materials which contain preserved nebular condensates, circumstellar dust grains and partially preserved molecular cloud matter. The circumstellar dust grains found in meteorites are direct samples of a variety of stars, and provide detailed constraints on models of stellar nucleosynthesis. Hydrogen and nitrogen isotopic anomalies in organic matter in meteorites and IDPs are thought to originate from chemical processes in a presolar molecular cloud. This material is better preserved, but less well characterized among IDPs.

AbstractThe intensity of solar X-radiation scattered by a comet is calculated and compared to the proper X-radiation of the comet due to impacts of cometary and interplanetary dust particles. Detection of X-radiation of dusty comets at small heliocentric distances (R ≤ 1 a.u.) is found to be an indicator of high-temperature plasma generation as result of grain collisions.

AbstractSamples of interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) have now been collected from the stratosphere, from the Earth’s ocean beds, and from the ice caps of Greenland and Antarctica The most likely candidates for the sources of these particles are comets and asteroids. Comparison of the infrared spectra, elemental compositions, and mineralogy of the collected dust with atmospheric entry models and data obtained from cometary probes and telescopic observations has provided important constraints on the possible sources of the various types of collected dust. These constraints lead to the following conclusions. First, most of the deep sea, Greenland, and Antarctic spherules larger than 100 μm are derived from asteroids. Second, the stratospheric IDPs dominated by hydrated layer-lattice silicate minerals are also most likely derived from asteroids. Finally, the stratospheric IDPs dominated by the anhydrous minerals olivine and pyroxene are most likely from comets. The consequences of these parent body assignments are discussed.
