Much of the past work on measuring the isotopic composition of iron has centered on determining 60 Fe variations due to processes accompanying nucleosynthesis (i.e., meteorite studies) and ore formation.

2024年10月21日 · Beta decay turns iron-60 to cobalt-60, which then turns relatively quickly into nickel-60. The distribution of iron-60 in the early Solar System has been investigated by looking for the...

The following table shows the atomic nuclei that are isotonic (same neutron number N = 34) and isobaric (same nucleon number A = 60) with Iron-60. Naturally occurring isotopes are marked in green; light green = naturally occurring radionuclides.

2015年1月30日 · While most of the iron in the universe is iron-56 – a stable nucleus made up of 26 protons and 30 neutrons – iron-60 (60 Fe) has 34 neutrons and it is the four extra neutrons that make the isotope unstable to radioactive decay.

Iron-60. The half-life of the Fe-60 isotope was recalculated in 2009 at 2.6 million years; until then, the value was 1.5 million years [9, 10]. Isotope Table: Iron The two following tables list the most important data and properties of the Iron isotopes.

2019年8月12日 · That’s the case for iron-60, a rare, unstable form of iron that’s commonly spewed from supernovae. So far, only a few samples of Earthbound iron-60 have been discovered, and they’re all at least...

2019年8月20日 · Now, a research team with significant involvement from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has discovered iron-60 in Antarctic snow for the first time. The scientists suggest that the iron...

2024年1月16日 · Earth bears the scars of nearby supernovae through traces of unique isotopes like iron-60 and plutonium-244, found in sediments and lunar samples. These cosmic remnants, detected using advanced methods like accelerator mass spectrometry, reveal a history of massive stellar explosions in our cosmic neighborhood.

The radioactive nuclide Iron-60 with a half-life of 2.26 million years has attracted interest because of its importance in astrophysical scenarios. It is believed to be synthesized in massive stars, and the gamma rays associated with its decay have been detected by …

2018年12月13日 · Iron-60 is a radioactive isotope of iron with a half-life of about 2.6 million years — which means that any iron-60 that formed with Earth is now long gone. Thus, the only way scientists could still find iron-60 today is if it arrived via cosmic means, such as “raining down” in the wave from a supernova.

2016年4月6日 · Interstellar iron-60 levels in the ground are 15 to 16 orders of magnitude lower than iron from Earth,” said Australian National University nuclear physicist Anton Wallner, who led one of...

2021年4月21日 · It's not the first time that the isotope, known as iron-60, has dusted our planet. But it does contribute to a growing body of evidence that such dusting is ongoing - we are still moving through an interstellar cloud of dust that could have …

2019年8月20日 · A team of researchers from Germany, Austria and Australia has found traces of the radioactive isotope iron-60 — the tell-tale signature of a supernova explosion — within fresh snow in Antarctica.

2015年2月10日 · The team found the half-life of iron-60 to be 2.6 million years. Iron-60 is produced at the core of large stars and in supernovae, or exploding stars.

(Phys.org)—A team of physicists affiliated with institutions in Australia, Switzerland and Austria has made the most accurate measurement to date of the half life of iron-60.

2017年1月21日 · Iron-60 is trickier, because it is both rare (of order of $10^{-7}$ of the abundance of $^{56}\mathrm{Fe}$) and weak in its emission, so that so far no in situ detection has ever been made. Yet the INTEGRAL telescope has managed to …

Detailed decay information for the isotope iron-60 including decay chains and daughter products.

2007年6月25日 · ESA’s orbiting gamma-ray observatory, Integral, has made a pioneering unequivocal discovery of radioactive iron-60 in our galaxy that provides powerful insight into the workings of massive stars that pervade and shape it. Found drifting in space, the radioactive isotope has been sought for long.

2015年2月2日 · (Phys.org)—A team of physicists affiliated with institutions in Australia, Switzerland and Austria has made the most accurate measurement to date of the half life of iron-60.

2024年11月15日 · Iron-60, with its long half-life of over two million years, serves as a vital marker for understanding these processes. As iron-60 decays, it emits gamma rays that can be detected and analyzed, providing insights into the conditions …
