This volume focuses on isotopic signatures of volatile elements as
tracers for evolutionary processes during the formation of the Sun
and the planets from an interstellar molecular cloud and, in turn,
illuminates how the isotopic compositions of the present-day solar
system objects have been established.
The book is an integrated collection of articles by experts in
planetary science, solar and plasma physics, astrophysics,
mineralogy and chemistry that met for an interdisciplinary workshop
at the International Space Science Institute in Bern in January
2002. The authors present analyses of isotope abundance ratios for
volatile elements in the sun, planets, satellites, comets,
meteorites and interplanetary dust particles, as well as a review
of isotopic ratios in star-forming interstellar clouds. This
provides insight into the physical and chemical processes in the
pre-solar molecular cloud that collapsed to form the Sun and the
solar accretion disk. Furthermore, information is presented on
dynamical processes and conditions inside this protoplanetary disk,
in particular the degree of reprocessing of interstellar solid
material, the formation of solids inside the disks, and the
formation of terrestrial and giant planets and their satellites.
Isotopic fractionation processes discussed in this book include
chemical reactions such as ion-molecule and photochemical
reactions, nuclear processes inside the sun and in its atmosphere,
plasma processes, gravitational escape of gases from planetary
atmospheres exposed to the solar wind and solar radiation,
thermodynamic processes, a variety of accretion and adsorption
processes and mixing of material from the interstellar environment
with the material of the evolving solar system.
The volume is intended to provide active researchers in the fields
of planetary science and space physics with an up-to-date status
report on the topic, and also to serve graduate students with
introductory material into the field.
