As we discuss below, it can also be argued that at least some chondrites delivered to Earth may have come from larger precursors that shed mass impact events or other processes while on Earth-crossing orbits.

Within our discussion, we have set the stage for a scenario that can provide an answer to question 3 posed above: extending our reasoning to meteorites, we hypothesize that YORP and tidal disruption had the net effect of causing NEAs to shed mass, with perhaps some of this lost mass arriving to the surface of Earth (Richardson et al. 1998; Walsh and Richardson 2006).

The characteristics of the surrounding stars suggest that although the magnetar's progenitor probably reached 40 solar masses at one point, it shed its mass so quickly that when the star exploded it fell under the 20-solar-mass limit, thereby creating a magnetar instead of a black hole and conforming to current theory about stellar evolution.
