Summary

Nebular shock heating is one of the most fully developed and rigorous models for chondrule formation, and is also the most consistent with the meteoritic record. In this review, we compare the results of current shock modeling to the wealth of meteoritic observations, to highlight where there is agreement and where there is potential failure of the models. The discussion is focused on gravitational disk instability-driven, large-scale shocks and on local bow shocks, with attention to the astrophysical setting for both. We suggest that more than one shock driver may be physically motivated and necessary to explain the variety of chondrules.
