On the Response of Chondrites to Diurnal Temperature Change – Experimental Simulation of Asteroidal Surface Conditions
Description
This dataset include the crack length growth as measured from stitched SEM-BSE images of the CM2 chondrites Jbilet Winselwan and Murchison as well as from the C2 chondrite Tagish Lake that have been cycled in an evacuated cryostat from 175 to 375K for up 400 total cycles.
