LPI Seminar: Constraining the Chemical Environment and Processes in the Protoplanetary Disk: From the Perspective of Rare Earth Elements in CO Chondrites and Metal-rich Chondrules in CR Chondrites (Ellen Crapster-Pregont, Columbia University),
Lecture Hall
Carbonaceous chondrites have an approximately solar bulk composition, with some exceptions (e.g. H), and exhibit a range of parent body alteration. Investigations of both pristine and altered chondrites yield valuable insight into the processes and conditions of the early Solar System prior to and resulting in the planets we observe today. Such insight and the dynamic models developed by astrophysicists are constrained by chemical, mineralogical, and textural characteristics of chondrite components (chondrules, refractory inclusions, metal, and matrix). This work explores two different types of datasets, rare earth element (REE) abundances of chondrite components and crystal orientation of metal in chondrules, to investigate the highest temperature processes in the early Solar System and the formation of chondrules, respectively.
Colony CO3.0 and Moss CO3.6 were analyzed for REE abundances to determine the distribution of these elements among chondrite components. While refractory inclusions exhibit the greatest enrichments in REE relative to CI, after modal recombination chondrule glass contributes most significantly to the bulk REE budget in both chondrites. The bulk mean REE patterns for both Colony and Moss are flat and approximately CI in abundance while the mean REE patterns for components are nearly flat with relative enrichments (~10x CI for both chondrule glass and refractory inclusions) or depletions (chondrule olivine) relative to CI. Lack of correlations between REE and other characteristics, nearly flat REE patterns and nearly equivalent enrichment factors relative to CI across chondrite groups, including the CO chondrites analyzed here, implies that REE could have been equilibrated in precursor material prior to chondrite component formation. We propose a scenario for the equilibration of REE with vapor-solid or solid-solid reactions with subsequent accretion of chondrite components.
Metal-rich chondrules in Acfer 139 (CR2) were used to investigate whether chemical and crystal orientation characteristics of the metal can add constraints to chondrule formation and deformation. Eight chondrules with abundant metal nodules, both as rims and within the chondrule interior, were analyzed in detail using EMP and EBSD techniques. One chondrule, chondrule A, is of particular interest as it contains three concentric metal layers. A combination of chemical inhomogeneity, multiple sets of twins, and other evidence of strain imply that the formation of these chondrules was not straightforward and involved multiple iterations of heating, and potentially addition of material. A plausible model of chondrule formation in the early Solar System must be able to account for this more complicated thermal and alteration history and produce the chemical and textural variety of chondrules present in the region of chondrite accretion.

LPI Seminar: MESSENGER Observations of Mercury’s Dynamic Magnetosphere (James A. Slavin, Department of Climate and Space Science & Engineering, University of Michigan),
Lecture Hall
Mercury’s magnetosphere is formed by the interaction of the solar wind with its small, ~ 200 nT – RM3, intrinsic magnetic field. The mean altitude of the subsolar magnetopause is only ~ 0.5 RM, but planetary induction currents in Mercury’s highly conducting iron core strongly resist solar wind compression. The weak conductivity of Mercury’s regolith severely limits field-aligned current intensity, but Region 1 currents are measured at low altitudes with magnitudes up to several tens of kilo-Amperes. These currents pass radially through Mercury’s ~ 400 km thick regolith to close across its iron core. Mercury’s surface-bounded exosphere is maintained by sputtering and other surface interactions that eject neutrals from the regolith. While the magnetospheric plasma is primarily of solar wind origin, i.e. H+ and He++, Na+ and other heavy planetary ions derived from the exosphere account for ~ 1 to 10% of ion number density. Magnetic reconnection at the magnetopause is far more frequent and intense than at Earth. “Showers” of 100+ flux transfer events are often observed during a single magnetopause traversal. Indeed, the dayside magnetosphere is sometimes observed to disappear during periods of strong southward interplanetary magnetic fields. Magnetic field loading/unloading of the magnetotail is observed at Mercury similar to that seen at Earth during substorms. Mercury’s substorms are associated with magnetic field dipolarization, energetic electron acceleration and plasmoid ejection, but they last only ~ 2 – 3 min as compared with ~ 1 – 2 hrs for Earth. Future prospects for understanding Mercury’s coupled magnetosphere – exosphere – solid planet as a system with the measurements to be returned by ESA’s BepiColombo mission in 2025 will be discussed.

Fourth International Conference on Early Mars: Geologic, Hydrologic, and Climatic Evolution and the Implications for Life (#earlymars2017),
Flagstaff, Arizona
The influx of new data received from recent spacecraft missions to Mars, the study of the SNC meteorites, recent progress in early climate modeling, the growing evidence of the role of water in the planet’s evolution, and the rapid pace of new discoveries about the origin and diversity of life on Earth have reinvigorated interest in both the conditions that prevailed on Mars during its first billion years of geologic history and their implications for the development of life. These issues were previously discussed at the first (1997, Houston, Texas), second (2004, Jackson Hole, Wyoming), and third (2012, Lake Tahoe, Nevada) Early Mars conferences, as well as in the papers published as part of the three associated special sections of JGR–Planets. Like its predecessors, the Fourth Early Mars Conference will place a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary discussion and debate, bringing together scientists from fields as diverse as planetary geology, hydrology, atmospheres, climate, meteoritics, microbiology, and molecular biochemistry,to focus on the conditions that prevailed on Earth and Mars during their first billion years of geologic history. The purpose of the conference is twofold: (1) to consider how impacts, volcanism, the presence of abundant water, and the nature of the early terrestrial and martian climates affected the physical and chemical environments that existed on both planets >3.7 Ga — especially with regard to the geologic and mineralogical evolution of their surfaces, their hydrologic cycles, the development of life, and the preservation of its signature in the geologic record; and (2) to discuss the investigations that might be conducted by present and future missions to test the hypotheses arising from (1).

Mercury: Current and Future Science of the Innermost Planet (#mercury2018),
Columbia, Maryland
This Mercury science meeting will focus on all aspects of current and future Mercury science. The recently completed MESSENGER mission has provided a wealth of data that are continuing to be analyzed by the science community. BepiColombo is scheduled to launch in October 2018 and arrive at Mercury in 2025. This meeting will enable the Mercury science community to have productive discussions, building on MESSENGER's results and preparing for BepiColombo's new discoveries. Such discussions can also inform future NASA science strategy decisions, and this meeting will provide a venue for the Mercury science community to organize and collaborate.

MIAPP 2018 Workshop — Near Earth Objects: Properties, Detection, Resources, Impacts and Defending Earth,
Munich, Germany
This programme will bring together an international group of experts in the fields of asteroid properties, detection, in-situ resource utilisation, orbit analysis, impact hazard assessment, and planetary defence, in combination with specialists from ESA and NASA and risk management organisations, to (i) identify how to dramatically reduce the current uncertainties in the number, orbital distribution and physical properties of asteroids that limit the determination of the Earth impact risk, (ii) clarify what is needed to generate a complete inventory of all asteroids that could impact Earth within the next century, (iii) estimate the availability of resources extracted from NEOs as a function of the delta-v required to return the material to near-Earth space and identify the most promising candidates, (iv) assess current limitations to impact risk assessment, and (v) evaluate and optimise strategies to deflect asteroids that could impact Earth.
