[meteorite-list] Review Paper on Chondrules Published in EPSL

[Paul H]

Dear Friends,

the latest issue of Earth and Planetary Science
Letters
has a review article about chondrules. it is:

Zanda, B., 2004, Chondrules. Earth and Planetary 
Science Letters. vol. 224, no 1-2 , Pages 1-17 
(30 July 2004)

The abstract ends:
 
"The current most popular mechanisms for forming 
chondrules in a nebular setting are radiation 
emitted by the protosun in the X-wind setting 
or shock waves propagated in the protoplanetary 
disk. In the latter case, chondrule formation 
may have contributed to the first stages of 
accretion, which would have helped preserve the 
chemical complementarity between chondrules and 
matrix. It is important that the chemical and 
isotopic properties, and even the petrology, 
of chondrules be reassessed in order to allow 
the development of chondrule formation models 
that better fit these constraints."

Yorus,

Paul
