CO Self-Shielding as a Mechanism to Make 16O-Enriched Solids in the Solar Nebula

Photochemical self-shielding of CO has been proposed as a mechanism to produce solids observed in the modern, 16O-depleted solar system. This is distinct from the relatively 16O-enriched composition of the solar nebula, as demonstrated by the oxygen isotopic composition of the contemporary sun. Whil...
