Abstract

In this paper the authors try to relate their own investigations on the chemical composition of meteorites, as well as petrography, mineralogy and age relationships. From these, and from the monistic theory of the origin of the solar system which is today generally admitted, it seems that the planets were condensed or accreted in a period of a fully convective early protosun, which may have had a luminosity of some orders of magnitude higher than the present sun, thus producing very high temperatures in the inner regions of the solar system. A possible mechanism for the origin of carbonaceous chondrites is also given.
