Noble gas abundances in meteorite are intensively studied in order to reveal the origin and thermal and cosmic-ray exposure history of a meteorite.
The noble gas isotope abundances and ratios stored in MetBase are:
Helium: 3He, 4He
Neon: 20Ne, 21Ne, 22Ne
Argon: 36Ar, 38Ar, 40Ar
Isotope ratios: 4He/3He, 3He/21Ne, 3He/38Ar, 20Ne/22Ne, 22Ne/21Ne, 36Ar/38Ar
The noble gas data compilation was kindly provided by Prof. Dr. Ludolf Schultz, formerly Max-Planck-Institut für Chemie, Mainz, Germany.
