Zr and Mo isotopes in single presolar graphite grains : a record of stellar nucleosynthesis.
Conference

OSTI ID:10639
Thirty-two individual graphite grains from the Murchison meteorite were analyzed for their Mo and/or Zr isotopic compositions by laser ablation resonant ionization mass spectrometry. {sup 96}Zr/{sup 94}Zr ratios range from 0.074 times to 10 times the solar value. Five grains have depletions in {sup 96}Zr, suggestive of the s-process, and two grains have extraordinary enrichments in {sup 96}Zr, suggestive of the r-process. Most graphite grains have close-to-terrestrial Mo isotopic imposition, but five have s-process Mo nucleosynthesis signatures.
