ISOTOPE ANALYSIS OF OSMIUM IN THE HENBURY METEORITE (in German)

Journal Article · · Helvetica Physica Acta (Switzerland)
OSTI ID:4299067
Since the half life of Re/sup 187/ is known with great accuracy. the R/ sup 187/-Os/sup 187/ decay was used in the study of meteorites. The osmium was extracted, and the Os/sup 187/Os/sup 186/ ratio was determined to be 1.128 plus or minus 0.03. However, a deternaination of this ratio for terrestrial osmium gave results which differed from those obtained previously. Therefore, the significance of the osmium isotopic ratio in the Henbury meteorite is uncertain. (J.S.R.)
