FT-IR microanalysis of mineral separates from primitive meteorites: techniques, problems and solutions
From the Introduction: We compared several methods of infrared micro spectroscopy using an FT-IR microscope and workbench. This is part of a project to assemble a database of infrared and optical spectra from mineral separates from meteorites, for comparison with astronomical data. Since we usually have to work with small amounts of material (original grain sizes often <50 m), special sample preparation and analytical procedures
have to be applied

FT-IR micro-spectroscopy of fine-grained planetary materials: further results
We present data from FT-IR microspectroscopy of olivines in a thin section of the LL3.6 ordinary chondrite Parnallee. Results are discussed and compared with other methods of FT-IR microspectroscopy

Spectroscopy of Stardust from 200nm to 16µM (with a gap in the middle)
UV/Vis and IR spectroscopy are complementary, non-destructive techniques that can be used to identify the presence of a range of organic and inorganic, hydrated and anhydrous minerals within micron-sized grains. We look forward to applying these techniques to the Stardust materials

The petrology of fine-grained micrometeorites: Evidence for the diversity of primitive asteroids
We report the discovery by analytical TEM of serpentine and phases interpreted as dehydroxylates of serpentine in ultramicrotomed sections of a number of fine-grained Antarctic micrometeorites

Petrology and geochemistry of nakhlite MIL 03346: A new Martian meteorite from Antarctica
MIL 03346 is the first nakhlite in the US Antarctic collection. We have performed detailed mineralogical and bulk-geochemical investigations to compare petrogenesis of this Martian meteorite with other nakhlites
To what distances do we know the confining potential?
We argue that asymptotically linear static potential is built in into the
common procedure of extracting it from lattice Wilson loop measurements. To
illustrate the point, we extract the potential by the standard lattice method
in a model vacuum made of instantons. A beautiful infinitely rising linear
potential is obtained in the case where the true potential is actually
flattening. We argue that the flux tube formation might be also an artifact of
the lattice procedure and not necessarily a measured physical effect.
We conclude that at present the rising potential is known for sure up to no
more than about 0.7 fm. It may explain why no screening has been clearly
observed so far for adjoint sources and for fundamental sources but with
dynamical fermions.
Finally, we speculate on how confinement could be achieved even if the static
potential in the pure glue theory is not infinitely rising.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figures. Additional arguments presented, a new figure and
