  • Beschreibung: <p>This paper reviews the evidence for short-lived radionuclides in the early Solar System and critically evaluates models for their origin. Radionuclides with half-lives of less than 50 Myr for which firm and consistent evidence has been found are &lt;latex&gt;$^{10}Be,\&gt;^{26}Al, \&gt;^{41}Ca,\&gt;^{53}Mn,\&gt;^{60}Fe,\&gt;^{107}Pd,\&gt;^{129}I$&lt;/latex&gt; and &lt;sup&gt;182&lt;/sup&gt;Hf. The oldest Solar System objects, calcium-aluminium-rich inclusions (CAIs), contained &lt;latex&gt;$^{10}Be, \&gt;^{26}Al,\&gt;^{41}Ca$&lt;/latex&gt; and &lt;sup&gt;53&lt;/sup&gt;Mn on formation. We discuss whether a spallation or stellar origin for the radionuclides is more likely, and conclude that the initial presence of short-lived radionuclides in CAIs can be most easily explained if these formed by spallation reactions close to the protosun.</p>
