This is from the work of Frank Shu et al (U.C. Berkeley) in "Science" 15
March 1996 where they discuss the astrophysical theory of chondrules:
REMNANT MAGNETISM IN CHONDRITES. Many chondrules in chondrites exhibit
paleomagnetism, consistent with an interpretation that they passed through
regions (of the Solar Nebula) where the magnetic field had an intensity of
the order of 1 to 10 G when the magnetic minerals cooled below their Curie
temperatures of several hundred kelvin...
Actually, I wish I understood this paper better, as they lay out the whole
theory of chondrule formation in very explicit (and technical) terms!
