    Outer Solar System Material in Inner Solar System Regolith Breccias (2018)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: There is excellent evidence that a dynamical instability in the early solar system led to gravitational interactions between the giant planets and trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). Giant planetary migration triggered by the instability dispersed a disk of primordial TNOs and created a number of small body reservoirs (e.g. the Kuiper Belt, scattered disk, irregular satellites, and the Jupiter/Neptune Trojan populations). It also injected numerous bodies into the main asteroid belt, where modeling shows they can successfully reproduce the observed P and D-type asteroid populations. During the injection era and after implantation, some of these main belt TNOs would have collided with S-class asteroids. Some of this material may have survived as a component of asteroid regolith breccias. Thus, we have been searching for evidence of these impact events in the form of carbonaceous xenoliths in brecciated ordinary chondrites. These xenoliths would have experienced a wide range of impact velocities, and therefore we should expect to see everything between relatively unaltered material to completely shock-melted lithologies. This material might also be different from the carbonaceous chondrites that represent standard C-complex asteroids. A goal of this research is to define useful criteria for distinguishing between these two classes of materials, including O, Cr, N and C isotopes, petrographic characteristics, and chronology.

    Hydrovolcanic Astromaterials in the Lab (2018)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-27
    Description: Zag and Monahans (1998) are H chondrite regolith breccias that contain 4.5 GY old halite crystals which in turn contain abundant inclusions of aqueous fluids, solids and organics. We have previously proposed that these halites originated on a hydrovolcanically-active C class asteroid, probably Ceres, or a trans-neptunian object (TNO - or P- or D-class asteroid) injected into the inner solar system during giant planet migration. We have begun a detailed analysis of organics and other solids trapped within the halite, which we hypothesize sample the mantle of the halite parent object, and are examining a halite-bearing C1 chondrite clast also found in Zag, which is similar to the solids in the halite. These investigations will reveal the water-rock interactions on the hydrovolcanically-active parent world.

    Mineralogical, Spectral, and Compositional Changes During Heating of Hydrous Carbonaceous Chondrites (2017)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Hydrous carbonaceous chondrites experienced hydration and subsequent dehydration by heating, which resulted in a variety of mineralogical and spectral features [e. g., 1-6]. The degree of heating is classified according to heating stage (HS) II to IV based on mineralogy of phyllosilicates [2], because they change, with elevating temperature, to poorly crystal-line phases and subsequently to aggregates of small secondary anhydrous silicates of mainly olivine. Heating of hydrous carbonaceous chondrites also causes spectral changes and volatile loss [3-6]. Experimental heating of Murchison CM chondrite showed flattening of whole visible-near infrared spectra, especially weakening of the 3m band strength [1, 4, 7]. In order to understand mineralogical, spectral, and compositional changes during heating of hydrous carbonaceous chondrites, we have carried out systematic investigation of mineralogy, reflectance spectra, and volatile composition of hydrated and dehydrated carbonaceous chondrites as well as experimentally-heated hydrous carbonaceous chondrites. In addition, we investigated reflectance spectra of tochilinite that is a major phase of CM chondrites and has a low dehydration temperature (~250degC).
