Oxygen isotope compositions of chondrules in enstatite chondrites: insights from relict olivine, chondrule size and redox state

Marrocchi Y., Piani L., Thomassin D. & Jacquet E. (2026) Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 414, 62-74, 10.1016/j.gca.2025.12.036 Voir en ligne : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2025.12.036 The recent discovery in ordinary chondrites of a population of small, sub-TFL (i.e., negative Δ17O; TFL = Terrestrial Fractionation Line) chondrules isotopically similar to relict grains in larger chondrules offered a glimpse into the

Formation conditions and chemical composition of early-condensed olivine in the solar protoplanetary disk

Elian Ochem , Yves Marrocchi Icarus 445, 116859, 10.1016/j.icarus.2025.116859 Voir en ligne : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.icarus.2025.116859 The dynamic evolution of the solar protoplanetary disk led to the formation of the first solar system solids by condensation, among which amoeboid olivine aggregates (AOAs) are the most abundant. The conditions under which AOAs formed remain poorly constrained, with both equilibrium

Origin of the mass-dependent germanium isotopic continuum in the early Solar System

Béatrice Luais, Guillaume Florin Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 672, 119663 Voir en ligne : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2025.119663 The warm, reduced, volatile-poor inner Solar System and cold, oxidized, volatile-rich outer Solar System are characterized by neutron-poor and neutron-rich isotopic anomalies, respectively. Nucleosynthetic isotopic anomalies recorded in meteorites, asteroidal bodies, and planets are thus indicative of their regions of

Characterization of the HIMU Mantle Source from Noble Gas Isotopes in Volcanic Gas Emissions in São Tomé (Cameroon Volcanic Line)

Arno Lastes, David V. Bekaert, Bouchaib Tibari, Alan M. Seltzer, Michael W. Broadley, Peter H. Barry, and Bernard Marty CS Earth and Space Chemistry special issue “Reika Yokochi Memorial” Voir en ligne : https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsearthspacechem.5c00056?ref=pdf The source of volcanism in the Cameroon volcanic line remains unresolved. To better constrain the mantle components involved, we measure light noble
