Meteorite research is fundamental to our understanding of the
origin and early history of the Solar System. Some meteorites were
produced by melting on asteroids, a few are from the Moon and
others are martian. Their study yields a chronology of the first
100 million years of Solar System history and provides evidence
that our Sun went through a highly radiative, T Tauri stage. This
book considers the mechanism and timing of core formation and
basaltic volcanism on asteroids and the effects of heating
water-rich bodies. Results from meteorite research are placed in a
galactic setting, and a theory is proposed for the origin of the
planets of our Solar System. This advanced yet succinct
introduction provides a classification of meteorites and discusses
their ages and origin. It will be valuable to graduate students and
scientists in astrophysics, space research, cosmochemistry,
geochemistry, isotope geology and earth and planetary sciences.
