Journal ArticleDOI
The BepiColombo laser altimeter (BELA): Concept and baseline design
Nicolas Thomas,Tilman Spohn,Jean-Pierre Barriot,Willy Benz,Gerhard Beutler,Ulrich R. Christensen,Véronique Dehant,Carsten Fallnich,Domenico Giardini,Olivier Groussin,Kurt Gunderson,Ernst Hauber,Martin Hilchenbach,Luciano Iess,P. L. Lamy,L. M. Lara,P. H. Lognonné,J. J. López-Moreno,Harald Michaelis,Juergen Oberst,D. Resendes,J.-L. Reynaud,Rafael Rodrigo,Sho Sasaki,Karsten Seiferlin,Mark A. Wieczorek,James A. Whitby +26 more
TL;DR: The BepiColombo Laser Altimeter (BELA) has been selected for flight on board the European Space Agency's BepIColombo Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO), which is intended to be Europe's first planetary laser altimeter system as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
A long-lived lunar dynamo powered by core crystallization
Matthieu Laneuville,Mark A. Wieczorek,Doris Breuer,Julien Aubert,Guillaume Morard,Tina Rückriemen +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors couple the results of a 3D spherical thermochemical convection model of the lunar mantle to a 1-D thermodynamic model of its core to determine the inner core growth rate and its efficiency to power a dynamo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric distribution of lunar impact basins caused by variations in target properties.
Katarina Miljković,Mark A. Wieczorek,Gareth S. Collins,Matthieu Laneuville,Gregory A. Neumann,H. Jay Melosh,Sean C. Solomon,Sean C. Solomon,Roger J. Phillips,David E. Smith,Maria T. Zuber +10 more
TL;DR: Using the iSALE-2D hydrocode to model impact basin formation, this paper found that impacts on the hotter nearside would have formed basins with up to twice the diameter of similar impacts on a cooler farside hemisphere.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The InSight lander will deliver geophysical instruments to Mars in 2018, including seismometers installed directly on the surface (Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure, SEIS) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of magma buoyancy on the eruption of lunar basalts
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose that buoyancy is the predominant factor that determines whether mare basalts erupt at the surface or form crustal intrusions instead, and they find that mare basaltic magmas are, in fact, less dense than the Moon's upper anorthositic crust.
