Studies on isotopic anomalies in cosmic meteoroids are expected to reveal the features of nuclear synthesis in various phases of star-evolution. The respective isotopes of noble metals had been produced through various reaction processes as well as in various regions of star-eruptions. However, isotopic anomalies of 0s in extremely refractory inclusions of primordial carbonaceous chondrites have not been found up to now. In this work, isotopic ratios of the elements having high condensation temperatures, such as 0s and Ir, in the cosmic spherules are examined using instrumental neutron activation analysis(INAA).
