Abstract

Presolar SiC and graphite grains are the grain types whose isotopic signatures have been extensively studied. Isotopic compositions of light and intermediate elements in single grains have been analyzed mostly using secondary ion mass spectrometry. Detailed information about nucleosynthetic conditions can be obtained from isotopic compositions of heavy elements. Isotopic compositions of heavy elements in SiC and graphite grains have been analyzed using resonant ionization mass spectrometry. Analyses of heavy elements and noble gases are likely to produce new insights into presolar grains using newly-developed instruments.
