The origin of short-lived radionuclides and the astrophysical environment of solar system formation
Based on early solar system abundances of short-lived radionuclides (SRs), such as Al-26 (T-1/2 = 0.74 Myr) and Fe-60 (T-1/2 1.5 Myr), it is often asserted that the Sun was born in a large stellar cluster, where a massive star contaminated the protoplaneta ...
2008Membership and binarity of solar-type dwarfs in the nearby open cluster Alpha Persei (Mel 20)
Context. The Alpha Persei open cluster (Melotte 20) is one of the nearby clusters (d < 500 pc) for which a long-term systematic radial-velocity monitoring of the solar-type stars has not been published so far. ...
2008Young chondrules in CB chondrites from a giant impact in the early Solar System
Chondrules, which are the major constituent of chondritic meteorites, are believed to have formed during brief, localized, repetitive melting of dust ( probably caused by shock waves(1,2)) in the protoplanetary disk around the early Sun. The ages of primit ...
