The Extinct Radionuclide Timescale of the Early Solar System

The tendency of iodine to be mobilised during secondary processing is reflected both in the presence of ¹²⁹Xe_XS in secondary minerals and in the bulk ¹²⁹Xe_XS/I ratios in meteorites. Comparison of absolute ages derived through calibration of chronometers based on ¹²⁹Xe, ⁵³Mn and ²⁶Al against the Pb-Pb system yields a plausible timescale for the early solar system. In this system, the earliest chondrule ages are most readily interpreted as representing formation after the beginning of parent body processing. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

行星际尘粒中锂同位素丰度与太阳星云演化的关系

1引言构成太阳系的大多数元素都经历过恒星演化过程，但3种轻元素Li，Be和B极为脆弱，在绝大多数恒星内部的高温、高密度和剧烈变动的条件下，很快就会分解．太阳系的早期阶段，太阳星云可能是由大爆炸产生的1H、2H、3He、4He和7Li及附近超新星爆发产生的C、N、O等构成[1]，而6Li、Be、B是以后由宇宙射线粒子轰击附近星际和行星际的C、N、O等的核产生[2]．因为Li的同位素丰度的一部分是由大爆炸生成，一部分是由宇宙射线与星际介质核反应产生，因此它的丰度与宇宙射线暴露时间有关．1991年，文献间报导过在行星际尘粒中发现Li、Be和…
