摘要
The isotopic compositions of interstellar graphite grains in meteorites provide a record of the stellar environments in which they formed.The grains have C-12/C-13 ratios that range far from the terrestrial value, as well as large variations in N-14/N-15 and O-16/O-18, and pronounced Mg-29 excesses from the decay of extinct Al-26. This isotopic variability indicates several types of stellar source, including asymptotic giant branch stars, Wolf-Rayet stars and novae.
