~ Cl o · 12 ...J .. ..!l! o IJl . 2 s.. .~ · 4 E e determinations ofdirectly collected solar wind noble gases by the GENESIS mission, which is currently in progress. The timing of solar particle implantation has to be inferred from detailed studies of the regolith histories . The primitive chondritic meteorites, which serve as reference materials for solar elemental and isotopic abundances, can not be used for noble gases since the relative elemental abundances are strongly depleted relative to those in the Sun (see Fig. 1), and their isotopic signatures are at variation with solar wind data . How were these gases incorporated into planetary materials? The largest planets incorporated and retained noble gases in nearly solar proportions in their atmospheres, as verified by spacecraft on Jupiter. The atmospheres of Venus, Earth and Mars, as well as primitive chondritic meteorites show depletion factors of about a million and more for the lighter noble gases (see Fig. 1). In the case of Mars major differences are found between atmospheric signatures and those of the solid planet for both elemental and isotopic abundances (e.g ., Bogard et al., 2001). While a solar-type xenon isotopic signature was observed for Xe in the interior of Mars (Mathew and Marti, 2001), this signature has not (or not yet?) been observed for solid Earth. On the other hand, the atmospheric xenon isotopic signatures of both planets were rather similarly fractionated (by -3.7% per mass unit relative to solar Xe) in favor of the heavy isotopes. The chondritic meteorites in tum show a rather uniform xenon component (OC-Xe) which can not be related to the solar signature by a mass-dependent fractionation mechanism (Lavielle and Marti, 1992).
