Chondrules are spherical silicate grains which formed from
protoplanetary disk material, and as such provide an important
record of the conditions of the Solar System in pre-planetary
times. Chondrules are a major constituent in chondritic meteorites,
however despite being recognised for over 200 years, their origins
remain enigmatic. This comprehensive review describes
state-of-the-art research into chondrules, bringing together
leading cosmochemists and astrophysicists to review the properties
of chondrules and their possible formation mechanisms based on
careful observations of their chemistry, mineralogy, petrology and
isotopic composition. Current and upcoming space missions returning
material from chondritic asteroids and cometary bodies has
invigorated research in this field, leading to new models and
observations, and providing new insight into the conditions and
timescales of the solar protoplanetary disk. Presenting the most
recent advances, this book is an invaluable reference for
researchers and graduate students interested in meteorites,
asteroids, planetary accretion and solar system dynamics.
