The Cosmochemistry
Department conducts mass spectrometric trace element analyses and measurements
of isotopic abundances to determine the physical and chemical conditions of
processes in the early solar system. In addition, knowledge of the temporal
evolution of these processes is obtained through the decay products of now
extinct radionuclides. Further work focuses on the study of presolar material
from meteorites, particularly with regard to nucleosynthetic processes within
stars; the interaction of cosmic radiation with matter; meteorite research
using chemical, radiochemical, physical, and mineralogical-petrologic methods;
age determination of extraterrestrial material using various radioactive decay
systems; exploration of the terrestrial planets with special emphasis on Mars;
and the development and implementation of experiments on board space
probes. |
