Mineralogy and Petrology of Laser Irradiated Carbonaceous Chondrite Mighei
Abstract
The microsecond-pulsed laser irradiation of the CM2 chondrite Mighei led to the formation of melt droplets, their partial crystallization and apparent changing of Fe/Mg ratio thus modelling space weathering on C+D asteroids and probably on Phobos.
