The Major-Element Composition of Mercury’s Surface from MESSENGER X-ray Spectrometry

TL;DR: X-ray fluorescence spectra obtained by the MESSENGENGER spacecraft orbiting Mercury indicate that the planet's surface differs in composition from those of other terrestrial planets as discussed by the authors, and this observation, together with a low surface Fe abundance, supports the view that Mercury formed from highly reduced precursor materials, perhaps akin to enstatite chondrite meteorites or anhydrous cometary dust particles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maps of subsurface hydrogen from the high energy neutron detector, Mars Odyssey.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found deficits of high-energy neutrons in the southern highlands and northern lowlands of Mars, indicating that hydrogen is concentrated in the subsurface.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for Calcium Carbonate at the Mars Phoenix Landing Site

TL;DR: Results suggest that the soil at the Phoenix landing site must have suffered alteration through the action of liquid water in geologically the recent past, and an alkaline environment was revealed, in contrast to that found by the Mars Exploration Rovers, indicating that many different environments have existed on Mars.
