Barrett

Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University proudly showcases the work of undergraduate honors students by sharing this collection exclusively with the ASU community.

Barrett accepts high performing, academically engaged undergraduate students and works with them in collaboration with all of the other academic units at Arizona State University. All Barrett students complete a thesis or creative project which is an opportunity to explore an intellectual interest and produce an original piece of scholarly research. The thesis or creative project is supervised and defended in front of a faculty committee. Students are able to engage with professors who are nationally recognized in their fields and committed to working with honors students. Completing a Barrett thesis or creative project is an opportunity for undergraduate honors students to contribute to the ASU academic community in a meaningful way.

26Al-26Mg Chronometry of the Northwest Africa 10463 Angrite: Implications for Differentiation Timescales on Planetesimals in the Early Solar System

Description
This report is on an investigation of the 26Al-26Mg isotope systematics in the NWA 10463 angrite to constrain the timing of formation of this achondrite on its parent body. The analyses of the whole rock and mineral separates of olivine, pyroxene, and plagioclase were performed using multi-collector inductively coupled plasma…

This report is on an investigation of the 26Al-26Mg isotope systematics in the NWA 10463 angrite to constrain the timing of formation of this achondrite on its parent body. The analyses of the whole rock and mineral separates of olivine, pyroxene, and plagioclase were performed using multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. From the isotope systematics, no evidence of live 26Al could be resolved, but an upper limit on the 26Al/27Al ratio of <1.6 x 10-8 was estimated. This upper limit corresponds to a model age of <4560.1 Ma, which is significantly younger than the crystallization ages of the volcanic angrite ages of ~4563-4564 Ma, but is consistent with the plutonic angrite ages of ~4557-4558 Ma.
