Workshop on Oxygen in the Earliest Solar System : September 19-21, 2005 Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Abstract

The scope of the workshop is primarily focused on the cosmochemistry of oxygen, including but not restricted to topics such as nucleosynthesis of oxygen, oxygen in the interstellar medium, distribution and isotopic composition of oxygen in presolar grains, oxygen in the Sun (now and in the past), the role of oxygen in controlling condensation and evaporation processes in the nebula, oxygen in the gas giants and their icy moons, distribution and isotopic composition of oxygen in IDPs and implications for comets, the delivery of volatiles to the terrestrial planets, oxidation state of the solar nebula, oxygen isotopes in meteoritic materials and implications for oxygen isotopic reservoirs in the solar nebula.
