Some Implications of Meteoritic Constraints for Chondrule Formation Models Including the Bow Shock Model
Abstract
The lack of chemical and isotopic fractionation in chondrules implies that they formed in a uniform nebular midplane layer, not in turbulence. If melted by bow shocks, the supersonic bodies were large, i.e., Moon- to Mars-sized.
