ORIGIN OF MATTER• All matter originated at the Big Bang
• Primordial nucleosynthesis
• A few minutes after the big bang, protons were highly dense and very energetic, allowing fusion
• For about 17 minutes, nucleosynthesis could occur
![Page 6: QUESTIONS 1.How do we form hypotheses about the formation of our Solar System? 2.In what ways can we scientifically test ideas about the Solar System’s](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d8d5503460f94a75b8c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
BIG BANG NUCLEOSYNTHESIS• Discussed by Alpher-Bethe-Gamow in 1940s
H + H D
• Nearly all deuterium originated in the big bang
• Also formed 3He, 4He, 7Li
• ~10:1 H:He ratio
• Beyond that energy required wasn’t amenable

NUCLEAR FUSION• The process of forming a new atomic nucleus by the fusing of two or more nuclei
• Hydrogen is “burned” to form Helium, and further fusion leads to other elements
• Fusion only occurs at high temperatures (core of the Sun, nuclear bomb, early big bang)
+ +Coulombic Barrier

SYNTHESIS OF HEAVIER ELEMENTS• Requires bigger, hotter stars
• High temperature means more energy to overcome coulomb barrier
• Also means more frequent collisions between nuclei, so short-lived nuclei can act as intermediates

HEAVIER ELEMENTS• Require energy to synthesize
• No pay for their own nucleosynthesis
• Supernova
• Form new elements by proton/neutron capture
• Result in the periodic table

• Material condenses from “small” shock waves, perturbations in nebula
• Spinning increases (Moment of Inertia)
• Fusion begins when P/T is achieved
• Materials fall into new star and are ejected
• This modifies the solar system!

ORIGINS OF THE EARTH’S CONSTITUENTS• Volatile components, including key biogenic elements, were in short supply on the early
Earth
• Earth was hot
• Volatiles were lost or were not delivered
• Not primordial (20Ne, 36Ar)

• Carbonaceous Chondrites, with hydrated minerals, were the last accreted constituent to the early earth
• Outgassing of volatiles led to hydro + atmosphere
• Consistent with D/H ratio
• Something odd going on with PGEs
• Comets, loaded with H2O and organics, were the source of volatiles
• Loaded with water
• High flux (possibly) to early Earth
• D/H ratio is much higher than earth
• What were early comets really like?
