Physical properties of meteorites
Description
Physical properties are a critical component to provide information on the make up and history of the solar system. A review of the physical properties of meteorites that have been conducted over the past approximately fifty years. Understanding of physical properties has grown greatly. The density, porosity, and magnetic susceptibilities of hundreds of meteorites have been analyzed, while other physical properties have not been as well characterized.
