From gas to dust: searching for the reactions at the origin of the first solids in the solar system
Astrophysical observations of young stellar objects and their disks, as well as studies of the components of primitive meteorites, concur to demonstrate that many of the mineralogical, chemical and isotopic characteristics of the first planetesimals to form in the protosolar nebula (PSN) were established during the first few hundreds of thousands of years of the solar system. However, the chemical and physical processes that transformed the dust and gas of the parent molecular cloud into the dust that formed the bodies of the solar system remain largely unknown. This is exemplified by the fact that all the rocks that are known in the Solar system exhibit, from the micrometer to the bulk…
