COSMIC RAY PRODUCED Ar$sup 37$ AND Ar$sup 39$ ACTIVITIES IN RECENTLY FALLEN METEORITES
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4708830
A review of methods for determining meteorite ages is presented. It is noted that the test of spatial variation that can be obtained from recentiy fallen meteorites is informntion that requires two years of space vehicle travel time to gather. Data obtained in the examination of five recent meteorites are included. Analysis of data leads to the conclusion that cosmic-ray intensity at several astronomical units from the sun is within 15% of the intensity at the earth's orbit. It is recommended that the accuracy of measurements be checked by the Ar/sup 37//Ar/sup 39/ ratio in iron meteorites. (J.R.D.)
