Magnetic properties of Chelyabinsk meteorite (15 February 2013) at high temperatures

Magnetic properties of the Chelyabinsk meteorite were studied in a wide temperature range - up to ∼ 1300 K. The analysis shows that the meteorite contains ferromagnetic inclusions of both Fe-Ni alloy and pure iron. It has visually been demonstrated that iron inclusions of the Chelyabinsk meteorite experience no β→γ structural phase transformation. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.Russian Foundation for Basic Research, RFBR: 17-02-00005The research was carried out within the state assignment of Minobrnauki of Russia theme “Magnet” No.АААА-А18-118020290129-5, theme “Electron” No. АААА-А18-118020190098-5), theme “Spin” No. АААА-А18-118020290104-2 supported in part by RFBR (project No. 17-02-00005)
