Workshop on “Parent body and nebular modification of chondritic materials”

Announcement Workshop on "Parent body and nebular modification of chondritic materials"An international workshop will be held to advance our understanding of solar nebular and parent body processes from studies of modification features in chondrites and interplanetary dust particles.Although it is generally accepted that chondrules, CAIs and other chondritic components formed in the solar nebula, there is much disagreement about the identification in these components of specific features caused by subsequent nebular and asteroidal processes.The workshop is being organized to promote communications between theoreticians, who are developing models for asteroidal and nebula processes, and petrologists, chemists, physicists and astronomers, who study primitive materials.Specific topics of interest include the following: chondritic components, planetesimals and asteroids.
