dc.descriptionInside carbonaceous chondrite meteorites are tiny dust particles which, when heated, release noble gases with an isotopic composition different from what is found anywhere else in the solar system. For this reason it is believed that these grains are (inter)stellar dust which survived the collapse of the interstellar cloud that became the solar system. We will describe here why we believe that the most abundant of these grains, nano-diamonds, were formed in the atmospheres of carbon stars, and explain how this theory can be tested observationally.
