Abundance of solar wind magnesium isotopes determined with WIND/MASS
Abstract
We present first results of the abundance ratios of Mg isotopes in the solar wind using the high resolution mass spectrometer on the WIND spacecraft. The isotopic composition of Mg in the solar wind is consistent with terrestrial values. Our preliminary result is 24Mg:25Mg:26Mg=(0.792+/-0.006):(0.095+/-0.005):(0.113+/-0.005).
