Beagle to the Moon: An Experiment Package to Measure Polar Ice and Volatiles in Permanently Shadowed Areas or Beneath the Lunar Surface (2007)

Gibson, E. K., McKay, D. S., Pillinger, Colin, Wright, Ian, Sims, M. R., Richter, L.

The Beagle Science Package is a flight qualified set of instruments which should be deployed to the lunar surface to answer the questions about water and volatiles present in permanently shadowed...

Ptolemy – an Instrument to Measure Stable Isotopic Ratios of Key Volatiles on a Cometary Nucleus (2007)

Wright, Ian, Barber, SJ, Morgan, Geraint, Morse, AD, Sheridan, S, Andrews, DJ, ...

A fundamental goal of cometary studies is to determine the exact relationship between these bodies and the Solar System – the question(s) can be summarised as follows: did comets originate during...

The Beagle 2 microscope (2004)

Lüthi, B. S., Thomas, N., Hviid, S. F., Keller, H. U., Markiewicz, W. J., Blümchen, T., ...

The Beagle 2 microscope provides optical images of the Martian surface at a resolution 5x higher than any other experiment currently planned. By using a novel illumination system it images in three...

Noble gases in Tagish Lake (2001)

Grady, Monica, Verchovsky, Sasha, Franchi, Ian, Wright, Ian, Pillinger, Colin

From the introduction: Tagish Lake has been classified as a CI2 chondrite [1] with an interstellar grain abundance enhanced over that of CI1 and CM2 chondrites [2]. Noble gases have been used as...

The oxygen isotopic composition of water extracted from carbonaceous chondrites (2001)

Baker, L., Franchi, Ian, Wright, Ian, Pillinger, Colin

The oxygen isotopic composition of water from carbonaceous chondrites suggests that close to isotopic equilibrium was attained on CI and CM parent bodies. This is more consistent with a closed system...

An integrated mineralogical, petrographic, light stable isotope and noble gas investigation of Sahara 99201 ureilite (2001)

Smith, C. L., Franchi, Ian, Wright, Ian, Verchovsky, Sasha, Grady, Monica, Pillinger, Colin

New ureilite Sahara 99201 has been investigated to determine mineralogy, petrography, light stable isotopes and noble gases. The sample is a typical olivine pigeonite ureilite (Fo 78, Wo 10, En 72)....

Separation of Q-Noble gas carrier from bulk carbon in enstatite chondrites by stepped combustion (2001)

Verchovsky, Sasha, Sephton, Mark, Wright, Ian, Pillinger, Colin

Detailed stepped combustion of HF-HCl residues from carbonaceous and enstatite chondrites suggest Q-noble gas carrier is different from bulk carbon in the meteorites.

New data on carbon isotopic compositions of some ureilites (2001)

Smith,, C. L., Franchi, Ian, Wright, Ian, Grady, Monica, Pillinger, Colin

We have collected new C data from high resolution stepped combustion analyses of 5 ureilites to better constrain their relationships with O and mineralogical/petrographic groupings. This may help the...

Insight into the evolution of the Tagish Lake carbonaceous chondrite by analysis of the oxygen isotopic composition of extracted water and Mössbauer spectroscopy (2001)

Baker, Lee, Franchi, Ian, Bland, P. A., Wright, Ian, Pillinger, Colin

Analysis of oxygen isotopes in water from Tagish Lake together with Mössbauer Spectroscopy suggest some similarities to the CI group of meteorites but also suggest differences in the extent of...
