Meteorites: A Petrologic, Chemical and Isotopic Synthesis

الغلاف الأمامي
Cambridge University Press, 2006 - 524 من الصفحات
Meteorite research is fundamental to our understanding of the origin and early history of the Solar System. This book considers the mechanism and timing of core formation and basaltic volcanism on asteroids, and the effects of heating water-rich bodies. Results from meteorite research are placed in a galactic setting, and a theory is proposed for the origin of the planets of our Solar System. This advanced yet succinct introduction provides a classification of meteorites, and discusses their ages and origin.
