    Non-equilibrium condensation matches chondrite mineral classes

    What the study found Chondrite precursors may have formed through kinetic non-equilibrium condensation rather than only equilibrium processes. The model results suggest that different cooling rates and pressures can produce three mineralogical types, with more departure from equilibrium leading to more oxidized and hydrous mineralogies. Why the authors say this matters The authors say this…
