Chondrules are spherical silicate grains which formed from protoplanetary disk material, and as such provide an important record of the conditions of the Solar System in pre-planetary times. Chondrules are a major constituent in chondritic meteorites, however despite being recognised for over 200 years, their origins remain enigmatic. This comprehensive review describes state-of-the-art research into chondrules, bringing together leading cosmochemists and astrophysicists to review the properties of chondrules and their possible formation mechanisms based on careful observations of their chemistry, mineralogy, petrology and isotopic composition. Current and upcoming space missions returning material from chondritic asteroids and cometary bodies has invigorated research in this field, leading to new models and observations, and providing new insight into the conditions and timescales of the solar protoplanetary disk. Presenting the most recent advances, this book is an invaluable reference for researchers and graduate students interested in meteorites, asteroids, planetary accretion and solar system dynamics.
Read more- The first book on chondrules to be published in over a decade, making it a timely new reference on this subject
- Presents both a review of chondrule research and a report of the state-of-the-art, providing a comprehensive resource for researchers and students
- Places chondrules in the context of protoplanetary disks and their evolution, making the book relevant to astrophysicists interested in star and planet formation as well as to planetary scientists and cosmochemists
