| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We demonstrated that the original solid materials of carbonaceous chondrites and samples returned from the asteroids Ryugu and Bennu - regarded as primitive solar system materials - are analogous to the amorphous silicates known as GEMS found in cometary matter. These materials were likely formed in the same thermal event as high-temperature components known as chondrules. Furthermore, we identified fluid inclusions - fossilized evidence of liquid water from the early solar system - within these samples, providing materials-science-based evidence that their parent bodies formed beyond Jupiter’s orbit and subsequently migrated into the asteroid belt within Jupiter’s orbit. Based on these findings, we proposed a new model for the formation and evolution of primitive materials, advancing our understanding of the origin and evolution of early solar system matter.
