Brownleeite is a silicide mineral with chemical formula MnSi . It was discovered by researchers of the Johnson Space Center in Houston while analyzing the Pi Puppid particle shower of the comet 26P/Grigg-Skjellerup . The only other known natural manganese silicide is mavlyanovite , Mn5 Si 3 [4]
Overview
[ edit ]
The particles were collected from the stratosphere over south-western US in April 2003 using an ER-2 high-altitude research aircraft of NASA . The team of researchers from US, Germany and Japan was led by NASA scientist Keiko Nakamura-Messenger .[5] [6]
To determine the mineral's origin and examine other dust materials, a new transmission electron microscope was installed in 2005 at Johnson Space Center.[7]
The mineral name was approved by the International Mineralogical Association (IMA Number 2008-011).[8] Donald E. Brownlee , professor of astronomy at the University of Washington , Seattle, because of his pioneering research on interplanetary dust particles.[9]
