Timing of Core formation 16
Heat Sources: Solar/Magnetic Induction heating (but T-Tauri: Polar Flows) Short-lived radioisotopes (26 Al 0. 73 Ma half life: must accrete fast) Long-lived radioisotopes (U, Th, K) (slow, only for larger bodies) Large impacts (only for larger bodies: between Moon and Mars-sized) Potential energy of core formation (larger bodies: 6300 km radius: 2300°C rise, 3000 km radius: 600°C rise) Resonant tidal heating (Only moons: Moon? , Titan, Io, Europa) 17
Observations/Inferences: Rocky inner, icy outer solar system Asteroid differentiation temperatures heliocentrically distributed Gross zonal structure within asteroid belt preserved The Moon had a magma ocean The solar photosphere has a composition very similar to CI carbonaceous chondrites Heat source concentrated near Sun? or Longer times to accrete object farther from the sun (less 26 Al heating)? 18

Conclusions We performed low temperature gradient, diamond-encapsulated experiments at: 25 -27 GPa, 2400 -2500°C for 8 to 40 minutes with trace element concentrations of 60 ppm added to natural KLB-1 peridotite 15 -25 micron diameter crystals were obtained Partition coefficients for (Mg, Fe) perovskite/melt determined using the ion probe. For those trace elements previously determinedat higher concentrations and shorter experiments, these partition coefficients agree in the sense of compatibility for Pv, but not in the magnitude. LREE are incompatible, HREE less so, and Yb and Lu are compatible. The HFSE are compatible in Pv, with Hf slightly more compatible than Lu. U, Th, Pb are all incompatible, but the Kd for U/Th equals 2. These elements are very incompatible in magnesiowustite. 52
