Is it thought that meteroids entering the solar system from a travel through
the galaxy would not be radioactive from encountering primarily higher
energy cosmic rays, but those meteoroids formed (within) the solar system
and coming from orbits within the asteroid belt would be radioactive from
isotope formation due to planetary magnetic focussing of lower energy cosmic
rays?
Is my understanding correct that rates and velocities of cosmic radiation
that cause isotope formation, would be dramatically different in these two
situations?
