Popis: Most meteoritic calcium-rich, aluminum-rich inclusions formed from a reservoir with ^26 Al/ ^27 Al ≈ 5 × 10 ^−5 , but some record lower ${({}^{26}\mathrm{Al}/{}^{27}\mathrm{Al})}_{0}$ , demanding they sampled a reservoir without live ^26 Al. This has been interpreted as evidence for “late injection” of supernova material into our protoplanetary disk. We instead interpret the heterogeneity as chemical, demonstrating that these inclusions are strongly associated with the refractory phases corundum or hibonite. We name them “low- ^26 Al/ ^27 Al corundum/hibonite inclusions” (LAACHIs). We present a detailed astrophysical model for LAACHI formation in which they derive their Al from presolar corundum, spinel, or hibonite grains 0.5–2 μ m in size with no live ^26 Al; live ^26 Al is carried on smaller (
