Live Iron-60 in the Early Solar System

Abstract: Isotopic analyses of nickel in samples from the differentiated meteorite Chervony Kut revealed the presence of relative excesses of (60)Ni ranging from 2.4 up to 50 parts per 10(4). These isotopic excesses are from the decay of the now extinct short-lived nuclide (60)Fe and provide clear evidence for the existence of (60)Fe over large scales in the early solar system. Not only was (60)Fe present at the time of melting and differentiation (that is, Fe-Ni fractionation) of the parent body of Chervony Kut but als… Show more

“…The MS and S stars have been studied by Smith and Lambert (1990), Plez et al (1993), Busso et al (1995), and , while the most detailed analysis of the s process in the carbon stars is still Utsumi (1985). Recent abundance studies have uncovered s-process rich post-AGB stars in the globular cluster Cen (Gonzalez and Wallerstein, 1994), as well as s-process enhancements in the yellow symbiotics (Smith et al, , 1997.…”

“…In addition, it has been shown that the 40% of S stars which do not show the lines of Tc I in their spectra are the cooler relatives of the Ba stars and result from mass transfer Smith and Lambert, 1988;Brown et al, 1990;Jorissen et al, 1993). Most recently, a number of the active symbiotic binaries have been identified as C rich (Schmid and Nussbaumer, 1993;Schmid, 1994), while the yellow symbiotic stars AG Dra and BD-21°3873 have both been shown to be s-process rich and thus technically Ba stars as well as symbiotics (Smith et al, , 1997. There is now a coherent picture of the s-process rich classes of stars: the N-type carbon stars, along with the MS and S stars with Tc, are bonafide AGB stars that have recently dredged fresh s-process material to their surfaces.…”

“…The hints of 60 Fe (τ = 2.2 Myr) discovered by Shukolyukov & Lugmair [42] [43] and the subsequent recent demonstration of 60 Ni excesses correlated with Fe/Ni in chondrites, require 60 Fe to be present at rather high abundances in the early solar system [44] [45] [46]. This nucleus has connections to both supernovae and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) sources, but not to spallation reactions.…”
