Carbon Isotope Analyses of Individual Hydrocarbon Molecules in Bituminous Coal, Oil Shale and Murchison Meteorite by Kyoungsook Kim, Jongmann Yang

“…They show several distinct distributions in isotopic ratios compared to those of meteorite; Murchison meteorite has a range of δ(13C) from -13%_0 to +30%_0. …”

Outgassing Composition of the Murchison Meteorite: Implications for Volatile Depletion of Planetesimals and Interior-atmosphere Connections for Terrestrial Exoplanets by Maggie A. Thompson, Myriam Telus, Graham Harper Edwards, Laura Schaefer, Jasmeet Dhaliwal, Brian Dreyer, Jonathan J. Fortney, Kyle Kim

“…This study builds upon previous outgassing experiments that monitored the abundances of volatile species (e.g., H _2 O, CO, and CO _2 ) released from the Murchison meteorite. To gain a more complete understanding of Murchison’s outgassing composition, we perform a series of heating experiments under atmospheric pressure (1 bar) and vacuum (∼10 ^−9 bar) conditions on samples of the Murchison meteorite and subsequent bulk element analysis to inform the outgassing trends of a suite of major elements in Murchison (e.g., Fe, Mg, Zn, and S). …”

Chiral interactions of histidine in a hydrated vermiculite clay. by Fraser, D, Greenwell, H, Skipper, N, Smalley, M, Wilkinson, M, Demé, B, Heenan, R

“…Recent work shows a correlation between chiral asymmetry in non-terrestrial amino acids extracted from the Murchison meteorite and the presence of hydrous mineral phases in the meteorite [D. …”

Schreibersite: an effective catalyst in the formose reaction network by S Pallmann, J Šteflová (neé Svobodová), M Haas, S Lamour, A Henß, O Trapp

“…Since the analysis of carbonaceous meteorites like the Murchison meteorite it has become generally accepted that a substantial amount of organic material has been delivered to the early earth and, therefore, ought to be considered in scenarios for the origin(s) of life. …”

Explosive Nucleosynthesis in Core-collapse Type II Supernovae: Insights from New C, N, Si, and Al–Mg Isotopic Compositions of Presolar Grains by Nan Liu, Conel M. O’D. Alexander, Bradley S. Meyer, Larry R. Nittler, Jianhua Wang, Rhonda M. Stroud

“…We report C, N, Si, and Al–Mg isotope data for 39 presolar X silicon carbide (SiC) and four silicon nitride grains—a group of presolar grains that condensed in the remnants of core-collapse Type II supernovae (CCSNe)—isolated from the Murchison meteorite. Energy dispersive X-ray data were used to determine the Mg and Al contents of the X SiC grains for comparison with the Mg/Al ratios determined by secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS). …”
