TL;DR: Observations of Mercury’s high northern latitudes reveal a contiguous area of volcanic smooth plains covering more than 6% of the surface that were emplaced in a flood lava mode, consistent with average crustal compositions broadly similar to terrestrial komatiites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lunar impact basins revealed by Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory measurements
Gregory A. Neumann,Maria T. Zuber,Mark A. Wieczorek,James W. Head,David M.H. Baker,Sean C. Solomon,Sean C. Solomon,David E. Smith,Frank G. Lemoine,Erwan Mazarico,Terence J. Sabaka,Sander Goossens,H.

TL;DR: Observations from the GRAIL mission indicate a marked change in the gravitational signature of lunar impact structures at the morphological transition, with increasing diameter, from complex craters to peak-ring basins, and a correlation between the diameter of the central Bouguer gravity high and the outer topographic ring diameter enables the identification and characterization of well-preserved basins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Northern mid-latitude glaciation in the Late Amazonian period of Mars: Criteria for the recognition of debris-covered glacier and valley glacier landsystem deposits
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used high-resolution stereo camera images and topography data to assess the characteristics of LDA/LVF in the northern mid-latitudes of Mars and found evidence that the characteristics and flow patterns of the LDA and LVF are most consistent with Late Amazonian debris-covered glacial valley landsystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hollows on Mercury: MESSENGER Evidence for Geologically Recent Volatile-Related Activity
David T. Blewett,Nancy L. Chabot,Brett W. Denevi,Carolyn M. Ernst,James W. Head,Noam R. Izenberg,Scott L. Murchie,Sean C. Solomon,Larry R. Nittler,Timothy J. McCoy,Zhiyong Xiao,Zhiyong Xiao,David M.H. Baker,Caleb I. Fassett,S. E. Braden,Juergen Oberst,Frank Scholten,Frank Preusker,D. M. Hurwitz +18 more
TL;DR: High-resolution images of Mercury’s surface from orbit reveal that many bright deposits within impact craters exhibit fresh-appearing, irregular, shallow, rimless depressions, which support the inference that Mercury‚s interior contains higher abundances of volatile materials than predicted by most scenarios for the formation of the solar system”s innermost planet.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: LOLA provided a high-accuracy global geodetic reference frame to which past, present and future lunar observations can be referenced as mentioned in this paper and provided high-resolution and accurate global topography that were used to determine regions in permanent shadow at the lunar poles.
