Abstract: The CM carbonaceous chondrites have all been aqueously altered, and some of them were subsequently heated in a parent body environment. Here we have sought to understand the impact of short duration heating on a… read more here.

Abstract: The surface mineralogy of dwarf planet Ceres appears to be dominated by products of rock–fluid interactions, such as phyllosilicates—some of which are NH4-bearing—and carbonates1–3. Elemental concentrations derived from the inferred mineral mixing fractions, however, do… read more here.
