Table 9

Properties of the parent body of H chondrites derived by different thermal evolution models, and some key data used for the modelling. In some models an insulating outer regolith layer is assumed; in that cases a core radius and layer thickness are given.

Notes. 

(a)

For consolidated material, varies with porosity;

(b)

fit of cp to meteoritic data from Yomogida & Matsui (1984), at T = 500 the value is 865 J/kgK;

(c)

forsterite;

(d)

fit of K to meteoritic data from Yomogida & Matsui (1984), at T = 500 the value of the consolidated material is 3.66 W/mK and varies only slightly with temperature;

(e)

no or insufficient data presented;

(f)

at time of CAI formation, given value for 26Al only, some models consider also the less efficient heat sources (60Fe, long lived radioactives);

(g)

from data collection Baer et al. (2011).
