由CM陨石揭示的碳质小行星中水的双重起源

A dual origin for water in carbonaceous asteroids revealed by CM chondrites

Laurette Piani, Hisayoshi Yurimoto, Laurent Remusat

摘要:

碳质小行星是内太阳系的主要水源,可能是向地球输送水的主要来源。含水的原始陨石(如碳质陨石)中的氢同位素构成了一种独特的工具,可用于破译小行星形成时蓄水池的来源。然而,精细尺度的同位素测量需要解开母体过程的影响,前吸积同位素分布。在这里,我们报告在6 CM型碳质辉长岩的氢同位素原位微米尺度分析揭示了一个主要的贫氘水成分(δD = -350 +/- 40 permil)与富氘有机质混合。我们认为,这种D-贫水对应于一个无处不在的水库内原行星盘。富氘水特征已保存在Paris球粒陨石蚀变最小的部分(δDParis > -69 +/- 163 permil)中,可能存在于CM岩石蚀变前的水化相中。巴黎富含D的水的存在可能表明,在太阳系历史的第一个百万年里,冰从外部转移到内部太阳系是重要的。

英文摘要:

Carbonaceous asteroids represent the principal source of water in the inner Solar System and might correspond to the main contributors for the delivery of water to Earth. Hydrogen isotopes in water-bearing primitive meteorites, e.g. carbonaceous chondrites, constitute a unique tool for deciphering the sources of water reservoirs at the time of asteroid formation. However, fine-scale isotopic measurements are required to unravel the effects of parent body processes on the pre-accretion isotopic distributions. Here we report in situ micrometer-scale analyses of hydrogen isotopes in six CM-type carbonaceous chondrites revealing a dominant deuterium-poor water component (δD = -350 +/- 40 permil) mixed with deuterium-rich organic matter. We suggest that this D-poor water corresponds to a ubiquitous water reservoir in the inner protoplanetary disk. A deuterium-rich water signature has been preserved in the least altered part of the Paris chondrite (δDParis > -69 +/- 163 permil) in hydrated phases possibly present in the CM rock before alteration. The presence of the D-enriched water signature in Paris might indicate that transfers of ice from the outer to the inner Solar System have been significant within the first million years of the Solar System history.
