A hit-and-run giant impact scenario
- A. Reufer, M. M. Meier, W. Benz, R. Wieler
- Geology, Physics
- 22 July 2012
Abstract The formation of the Moon from the debris of a slow and grazing giant impact of a Mars-sized impactor on the proto-Earth ( Cameron and Ward [1976] . Lunar Planet. Sci. Conf.; Canup and… Expand
The relativistic electron response at geosynchronous orbit during the January 1997 magnetic storm
- G. Reeves, R. Friedel, +7 authors J. Blake
- Physics
- 1 August 1998
The first geomagnetic storm of 1997 began on January 10. It is of particular interest because it was exceptionally well observed by the full complement of International Solar Terrestrial Physics… Expand
Nickel isotopes in iron meteorites–nucleosynthetic anomalies in sulphides with no effects in metals and no trace of 60Fe
- G. Quitté, M. M. Meier, C. Latkoczy, A. Halliday, D. Guenther
- Geology
- 15 February 2006
Iron-60 decays to 60Ni with a half-life of 1.49 Myrs such that Ni isotopic studies of iron meteorites have the potential to provide powerful new constraints on the energy budgets and time-scales of… Expand
Cosmogenic nuclides in Almahata Sitta ureilites: Cosmic-ray exposure age, preatmospheric mass, and bulk density of asteroid 2008 TC3
- K. Welten, M. M. Meier, +4 authors M. Shaddad
- Geology
- 1 October 2010
Abstract– On October 7, 2008, a small F-class asteroid, 2008 TC3, exploded in Earth’s atmosphere, and produced a strewn field of meteorites in the Nubian Desert of Sudan. Subsequent searches yielded… Expand
Interstellar residence times of presolar SiC dust grains from the murchison carbonaceous meteorite
The time span between the formation of presolar grains in stellar outflows and their incorporation into early solar-system solids is poorly constrained. Knowledge of this time span is essential for a… Expand
The energy spectrometer for particles (ESP): Instrument description and orbital performance
- M. M. Meier, R. D. Belian, +6 authors G. Reeves
- Physics
- 31 December 1994
The ESP detector is functionally described, along with the pertinent orbital and spin properties of the spacecraft that supports it. The phoswiched plastic/BGO scintillators sensor design, electronic… Expand
On the origin and composition of Theia: Constraints from new models of the Giant Impact
- M. M. Meier, A. Reufer, +6 authors Usa
- Physics
- 15 October 2014
Abstract Knowing the isotopic composition of Theia, the proto-planet which collided with the Earth in the Giant Impact that formed the Moon, could provide interesting insights on the state of… Expand
Determining the impactor of the Ordovician Lockne crater: Oxygen and neon isotopes in chromite versus sedimentary PGE signatures
- B. Schmitz, B. Schmitz, +10 authors J. W. Valley
- Geology
- 15 June 2011
Abundant chromite grains with L-chondritic composition in the resurge deposits of the Lockne impact crater (458 Myr old: dia. similar to 10 km) in Sweden have been inferred to represent relict… Expand
Noble gases in 18 Martian meteorites and angrite Northwest Africa 7812—Exposure ages, trapped gases, and a re‐evaluation of the evidence for solar cosmic ray‐produced neon in shergottites and other…
We present noble gas data for 16 shergottites, 2 nakhlites (NWA 5790, NWA 10153), and 1 angrite (NWA 7812). Noble gas exposure ages of the shergottites fall in the 1–6 Ma range found in previous… Expand
A tale of clusters: no resolvable periodicity in the terrestrial impact cratering record
- M. M. Meier, Sanna Holm-Alwmark Eth Zurich, +9 authors Sweden.
- Physics
- 31 January 2017
Rampino & Caldeira (2015) carry out a circular spectral analysis (CSA) of the terrestrial impact cratering record over the past 260 million years (Ma), and suggest a ~26 Ma periodicity of impact… Expand
