Solar wind xenon in some carbonaceous chondrites

A table shows the isotopic composition of xenon from several carbonaceous chondrites in which the presence of solar xenon can be demonstrated. The data suggest the presence of a solar xenon component in these carbonaceous chondrites, but solar xenon in these meteorites can be more clearly demonstrated through correlation plots. It is argued that the incorporation of the solar type of noble gases must have occurred during the early history of meteoritic matter when this material consisted of fine-grained particles.
