Xenon record of the early Solar System

Nature volume 262, pages28–32(1976)Cite this article

Abstract

We suggest that xenon isotopes in meteorites and in outer regions of the Sun contain debris from a supernova which exploded in the vicinity of the present Solar System, and we conclude that xenon in the outer planets is enriched in this supernova debris.
