The thallium isotope composition of carbonaceous chondrites - New evidence for live Pb-205 in the early solar system

The extinct radionuclide 205Pb, which decays to 205Tl with a half-life of 15 Ma, is of considerable cosmochemical interest, as it is the only short-lived isotope that is produced exclusively by s-process nucleosynthesis. Evidence for the existence of 205Pb in the early solar system has only recently...
