    Description: Many elements display both linear (mass-dependent) and non-linear (mass-independent) isotope anomalies (relative to a common reservoir). In early Solar System objects, with the exception of oxygen, mass-dependent isotope anomalies are most commonly thought to result from phase separation processes such as evaporation and condensation, whereas many mass-independent isotope anomalies likely reflect radiogenic ingrowth or incomplete mixing of presolar components in the proto-planetary disk. Coupling the isotopic characterization of multiple elements with differing volatilities in single objects may provide information regarding the location, source material, and/or processes involved in the formation of early Solar System solids. Here, we follow up on the work presented in, and detail new procedures developed to make high-precision multi-isotope measurements of Calcium, Chromium, and Titanium with small or limited amounts of sample using thermal ionization mass spectrometry and multi-collector ICP-MS, and characterize a suite of chondritic and terrestrial standards.

    Description: The chemical and isotopic compositions of calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) can be used to understand the conditions present in the protoplantary disk where they formed. The isotopic compositions of these early-formed nebular materials are largely controlled by chemical volatility. The isotopic effects of evaporation/sublimation, which are well explained by both theory and experimental work, lead to enrichments of the heavy isotopes that are often exhibited by the moderately refractory elements Mg and Si. Less well understood are the isotopic effects of condensation, which limits our ability to determine whether a CAI is a primary condensate and/or retains any evidence of its primordial formation history.

    Description: Calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) are the oldest surviving solids to have formed in the Solar System. Their chemical and isotopic compositions provide a record of the conditions present in the protoplanetary disk where they formed and can aid our understanding of how solids formed in the solar nebula, an important step in the eventual process of planet building. The isotopic compositions of CAIs are primarily controlled by volatility. Evaporation/sublimation are well understood through both theory and experimental work to produce an enrichment in the heavy isotopes of an element, but less is understood about the effects of condensation. Mass-dependent fractionation can potentially provide a record of nebular condensation. Ti is not likely to experience evaporation due to its refractory nature, making it a useful tool for assessing the effects of condensation. We have undertaken a study of the stable isotope fractionation of Ti isotopes as a tracer of processes that predate the last evaporation events affecting CAIs. We compare the 49Ti/47Ti stable isotope ratio with excess 50Ti common in CAIs. We have collected Ti, Mg, Si, and Ca isotope data for a suite of CAIs in order to search for heterogeneity in each of these isotope systems, and for potential correlations among them. We compare our results to expectations for condensation.
