    ROSAT PSPC spectra of six Seyfert 1 galaxies (1993)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: We present six ROSAT Position-Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) observations of Seyfert 1 galaxies chosen to have low Galactic line-of-sight absorption (N(sub H) approx. = 10(exp 20)/sq cm). As expected, it is found that all of these sources possess significantly steeper spectra below approximately 1 keV, than that observed at higher X-ray energies. In addition we find evidence for soft X-ray spectral features, which are best parameterized as line emission at approximately 0.63 keV in NGC7469 and approximately 0.75 keV in ESO198-G24. We examine these results in the light of the accuracy of the PSPC spectral calibration. We suggest that Seyfert galaxies are a class of object whose spectra are similar to the diffuse X-ray background in the soft X-ray band. We suggest these data provide the first direct evidence that the sources which dominate the background differ as a function of energy.

    The broad-band X-ray spectral variability of Mrk 841 (1993)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: A detailed spectral analysis of five X-ray observations of Mrk 841 with the EXOSAT, Ginga, and ROSAT satellites is reported. Variability is apparent in both the soft (0.1-1.0 keV) and medium (1-20 keV) energy bands. Above, 1 keV, the spectra are adequately modeled by a power law with a strong emission line of equivalent width 450 eV. The large equivalent width of the emission line indicates a strongly enhanced reflection component of the source compared with other Seyferts observed with Ginga. The implications of the results of the analysis for physical models of the emission regions in this and other X-ray bright Seyferts are briefly examined.

    ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional Counter spectra of six Seyfert 1 galaxies (1993)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: We present the results from ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional Counter observations of six Seyfert 1 galaxies in the soft (0.1-2.0 keV) X-ray band. The sources (Mrk 335, ESO 198-G24, ESO 141-G55, Mrk 509, NGC 7469, and MCG-2-58-22) were chosen to have low absorbing column densities along the line of sight. As expected, it is found that all the sources possess significantly steeper spectra below about 1 keV than observed at higher X-ray energies. Assuming a simple absorbed power-law spectral model, the mean (photon) spectral index for the sample is Gamma = 2.38 +/- 0.25, compared to the canonical 1.7 typically observed in the 2-10 keV band. Furthermore, we find strong evidence for soft X-ray spectral features in half the sources. In NGC 7469 and ESO 198-G24, we find that the addition of a narrow emission line or an absorption edge to the underlying continuum is a significant improvement to the parameterization of the spectra. Mrk 335 also shows evidence for spectral complexity, but from these data it is not possible to unambiguously distinguish between an absorption edge and a steepening of the spectrum at low energies. We examine these results in the light of the accuracy of the PSPC spectral calibration.

    Classificational parameters for acapulcoites and lodranites: The cases of FRO 90011, EET 84302 and ALH A81187/84190 (1993)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-08-31
    Description: Acapulcoites and lodranites probably sample a common parent body, which has experienced a range of partial melting. We present classificational parameters which allow acapulcoites-lodranites to be distinguished from other groups of meteorites, as well as from each other. Petrography can complement oxygen isotopic compositions in separating these meteorites from other groups of stony-irons and primitive achondrites, while petrographic properties alone distinguish acapulcoites from lodranites. Acapulcoites differ from lodranites in having smaller grain sizes, abundant Fe, Ni-FeS as micron-sized veins and plagioclase which escaped melting. We have applied these criteria to three new members of the group. FRO 90011 is a typical lodranite; EET 84302 is intermediate in many properties between acapulcoites and lodranites; and ALH A81187/84190 are paired meteorites and are first low-FeO acapulcoites. These meteorites provide a wider spectrum of samples from the acapulcoite-lodranite parent body and suggests that this body may have had a complex structure.

    I-Xe structure of ILAFEGH 009 and shallowater: Evidence for early formation and rapid cooling of impact-derived enstatite meteorites (1993)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-08-31
    Description: Enstatite meteorites have proven to be ideal samples for past studies of the I-Xe system. This work focuses on two enstatite meteorites that were formed by impact processes. Ilafegh 009 is a clast-free impact melt rock from the EL chondrite parent body. The Shallowater aubrite likely formed when a fully molten planetesimal collided with a solid planetesimal, mixing fragments of the solid planetesimal into the enstatite mantle of the molten planetesimal. A complex three-stage cooling history resulted from this mixing and later break-up and reassembly of the parent body. The present study indicates that the I-Xe structure of these two meteorites resulted from in situ decay of live I-129 and that both experienced xenon closure of the iodine host phase at approximately the same time. I-Xe cooling rates are consistent with the cooling rates derived from mineralogic and petrologic studies of these objects. The similarities in ages suggest that the region of the nebula in which enstatite parent bodies formed must have experienced an intense early bombardment.

    Post-metamorphic brecciation in type 3 ordinary chondrites (1993)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-01-25
    Description: Type 3.1-3.9 ordinary chondrites can be divided into two kinds: those in which the compositions of chondrule silicates are entirely consistent with metamorphism of type 3.0 material, and those in which the computational heterogeneity appears to be too extreme for in situ metamorphism. We present petrologic data for three LL3 chondrites of the second kind--Ngawi, ALH A77278 (both type 3.6), and Hamlet (type 3.9)--and compare these data with results for the first kind of LL3-4 chondrites. Given that chondrules form in the nebula and that metamorphic equilibration occurs in asteroids, our new data imply that Ngawi, A77278, Hamlet, and many other type 3 ordinary chondrites are post-metamorphic breccias containing materials with diverse metamorphic histories; they are not metamorphic rocks or special kinds of 'primitive breccias.' We infer also that metamorphism to type 3.1-3.9 levels produces very friable material that is easily remixed into breccias and lithified by mild shock. Thus, petrologic types and subtypes of chondrites indicate the mean metamorphic history of the ingredients, not the thermal history of the rock. The metamorphic history of individual type 1 or 2 porphyritic chondrules in type 3 breccias is best derived from olivine and pyroxene analyses and the data of McCoy et al. for unbrecciated chondrites. The new chondrule classification schemes of Sears, DeHart et al., appears to provide less information about the original state and metamorphic history of individual porphyritic chondrules and should not replace existing classification schemes.

    Metal-rich meteorites from the aubrite parent body (1993)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-01-25
    Description: Three metal-rich meteorites - Mt. Egerton, Horse Creek, and LEW 88055 - were studied and it is suggested that they formed in the aubrite parent body. LEW 85369 and 88631 may also have a common origin, but these rocks have not yet been studied in detail. This body was probably heated to about 1600 C by a very strong heat source. While molten, metal agglomerated into sizeable nodules which never segregated efficiently to form a core, but were trapped in the silicate mantle. Different clasts and lithologies in aubrites solidified and cooled under local equilibrium conditions of oxygen fugacity, and with different thermal histories. Impacts mixed clasts from throughout the parent body, creating the typical aubrite breccias.

    The dregs of crystallization in Zagami (1993)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The Zagami shergottite is a basaltic meteorite which formed when a phenocryst-bearing lava flow was emplaced at or near the surface of Mars. Recently, a cm-sized olivine-rich lithology has been identified in Zagami by Mossbauer spectroscopy. Olivine is extremely rare in shergottites, particularly in Zagami and Shergotty, where it occurs only as minute grains. We report petrologic and microprobe studies of this olivine-rich lithology. This material represents the last few percent of melt and is highly enriched in phosphates, opaques and mesostases, all of which are late-stage crystallization products. Phosphates replaced augite as a phenocryst phase when the magma became saturated in P. This late stage melt also includes a fayalite-bearing, multi-phase intergrowth which crystallized after the melt became too rich in iron to crystallize pigeonite. We can now reconstruct the entire crystallization history of the Zagami shergottite from a deep-seated magma chamber to crystallization of the final few percent of melt in a near-surface dike or thick flow. Small pockets (tens of microns) of late-stage melt pockets are ubiquitous but volumetrically minor in Zagami. We do not know the physical relationship between these areas and the cm-sized olivine-rich material described here. It is possible that these small pockets were mobile, forming larger areas. Perhaps inspection of the entire hand specimen of Zagami would clarify this relationship.

    Constraints on chemical evolution models from QSOALS abundances (1993)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-08-31
    Description: Models of the formation and early chemical evolution of our Galaxy are guided and constrained by our knowledge of abundances in globular cluster stars and halo field stars. The abundance patterns identified in halo and disk stars should be discernible in absorption lines of gas clouds in forming galaxies which are accidentally lying in front of background QSO's. Conversely, the ensemble of QSO absorption line systems (QSOALS) at each redshift may suggest a detailed model for the formation of our Galaxy that is testable using abundance patterns in halo stars.

    Systematic chemical variations in large 3AB iron meteorites: Clues to core crystallization (1993)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Analysis of numerous individual iron meteorites have shown that fractional crystallization of iron cores result in variations in chemical concentration of the solid core which span several orders of magnitude. The magnitude and direction of the resulting spatial gradients in the core can provide clues to the physical nature of the core crystallization process. We have analyzed suites of samples from three large 3AB irons (Cape York, 58t; Chupaderos, 24t; Morito, 10t) in order to estimate local chemical gradients. Initial results for the concentrations of Ge, Pd, Pt (Massey group), Ir, Au, As, Co, Os, and Rh (Dalhouse group), and P (Arizona group) show significant ranges among the Cape York and Chupaderos samples and marginally significant ranges among the Morito samples. Measurements of Au, Ir, Co, Ni, Cu, Ga, As, W, Re (from UCLA) and Ni and Co (Arizona group) are in progress. We find a spatial Ir gradient in Chupaderos with a magnitude similar to the one reported for Agpalilik (Cape York iron) by Esbensen et al.
