C- and S-rich molten alloy immiscibility and core formation of planetesimals
We present the results of melting experiments to 7.7 GPa and 2200 °C on a synthetic 'chondrite-like' composition suitable to model early planetesimal differentiation. Our principal observation is that two immiscible liquid alloys coexist to about 5.5 GPa in Fe-Ni-S-C-O compositional space,...
