Journal ArticleDOI
Potential anomalies on a sphere: Applications to the thickness of the lunar crust
TL;DR: In this paper, a new technique for calculating potential anomalies on a sphere due to finite amplitude relief has been developed, by raising the topography to the nth power and expanding this field into spherical harmonics.
Journal ArticleDOI
The “Procellarum KREEP Terrane”: Implications for mare volcanism and lunar evolution
TL;DR: In this article, the authors modeled the Moon's thermal evolution using a simple thermal conduction model and showed that as a result of the high abundance of heat-producing elements that are found in the Procellarum KREEP Terrane, partial melting of the underlying mantle is an inevitable outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonuniform cratering of the Moon and a revised crater chronology of the inner Solar System
TL;DR: In this article, a semi-analytical model of the Moon and terrestrial planets from the present knowledge of the orbital and size distribution of asteroids and comets in the inner Solar System was used to refine the crater chronology method.
Book ChapterDOI
Gravity and Topography of the Terrestrial Planets
TL;DR: A general review of the mathematical formalism that is used in describing gravity and topography of the terrestrial planets is given in this article, where the basic properties of Earth, Venus, Mars, Mercury, and the Moon are characterized.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: For example, the first ten months of the InSight lander on Mars revealed a planet that is seismically active and provided information about the interior, surface and atmospheric workings of Mars as mentioned in this paper.
