The O-, Al-, and Ti-isotopic compositions are largely compatible with an origin from an asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star of 1.5 solar masses with a metallicity that is 15% higher than the solar metallicity. The grain has an elevated 17O\/16O ratio (8.40 \u00b1 0.16 \u00d7 10\u20134) compared to solar, and slightly sub-solar 18O\/16O ratio (1.83 \u00b1 0.03 \u00d7 10\u20133). It shows evidence for the presence of initial 26Al, suggesting formation after the first dredge-up, during one of the early third dredge-up (TDU) episodes. Titanium isotopic data indicate condensation of the grain before significant amounts of material from the He-burning shell were admixed to the stellar surface with progressive TDUs. We observed a small excess in 30Si (\u03b430Si = 41 \u00b1 5 \u2030), which most likely is inherited from the parent star\u2019s initial Si-isotopic composition. For such stars stellar models predict a C\/O-ratio <1 even after the onset of TDU, thus allowing the condensation of O-rich dust.\n\nThe grain is an unusual complex presolar grain, consisting of an Al-Ca-Ti-oxide core, surrounded by an Mg-Ca-silicate mantle, and resembles the condensation sequence for a cooling gas of solar composition at pressures and dust\/gas ratios typically observed for circumstellar envelopes around evolved stars. We also report the first observation of phosphorus in a presolar grain, although the origin of the P-bearing phase remains ambiguous.\"\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>J.
