Silicon Isotopic Composition of Mainstream Presolar SiC Grains Revisited: The Impact of Nuclear Reaction Rate Uncertainties

Presolar grains are stardust particles that condensed in the ejecta or in the outflows of dying stars and can today be extracted from meteorites. They recorded the nucleosynthetic fingerprint of their parent stars and thus serve as valuable probes of these ...

High-useful yield and new autoionizing state of resonantly ionized tungsten

Reto Georg Trappitsch

In order to measure tungsten isotopic composition in presolar stardust grains that contain a limited number of atoms, we developed a new three-photon three-color resonance ionization scheme using titanium:sapphire lasers and the Laser Ionization of Neutral ...

The Presolar Grain Database. I. Silicon Carbide

Reto Georg Trappitsch

The Presolar Grain Database (PGD) contains the vast majority of isotope data (published and unpublished) on presolar grains and was first released as a collection of spreadsheets in 2009. It has been a helpful tool used by many researchers in cosmochemistr ...

Transport of dust across the Solar System: Constraints on the spatial origin of individual micrometeorites from cosmic-ray exposure

Reto Georg Trappitsch

The origin of micrometeorites (MMs) from asteroids and comets is well-established, but the relative contribution from these two classes remains poorly resolved. Likewise, determining the precise origin of individual MMs is an open challenge. Here, cosmic-r ...

Reliable uncertainties: Error correlation, rotated error bars, and linear regressions in three-isotope plots and beyond

Reto Georg Trappitsch

Correlated errors of experimental data are a common but often neglected problem in physical sciences. Various tools are provided here for thorough propagation of uncertainties in cases of correlated errors. Discussed are techniques especially applicable to ...
