Without answering your questions, don't pay any attention to the Wikipedia articles on CAIs and chondrules. They are basically useless. I began to work on them, starting with the chondrules, but it was taking too much time, so they have languished. Definitive answers to what caused the formation of CAIs and chondrules are not known.

Hello!
I take a look on wikipedia about CAI and chondrules, but I have still some doubt.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium-aluminium-rich_inclusion
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chondrule

What prompted the formation of CAI? and what's caused the formation of chondurles??? The supernova gave the energy for the formation of CAI and for the collapse of the solar nebula? Some other energy source, still unknow, 2 million years later molten the material which formed the chondrules? But wich type of energy source?

Is correct this time line?

1) supernova
2) few time later CAI formation
3) at the same time collapse of nebula
4) 2My later condrule formation
5) at the same time proto-sun and proto-planetary formation
6) ...

Thanks a lot!

Best regards!
