Scientific paper
The results reported by Lewis et al. (1975) and others on the abundance and isotopic composition of noble gases in separated mineral fractions of carbonaceous chondrites are examined together with the results of studies on solar-wind implanted xenon in lunar soil to determine the quantity and distribution of component X, the xenon component enriched in the light and heavy isotopes, in the solar system. It is concluded that our sun was once the smaller member of a binary star system, the other member of which suffered a supernova explosion. This explosion produced debris rich in component X, heavy krypton isotopes, Pu-244, O-16, and Mg-26. The chemical elements of the outer planets are predicted to be enriched in these isotopes.
