An impact driven dynamo for the early Moon
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Basin-forming impact events are energetic enough to have unlocked the Moon from synchronous rotation, and it is proposed that the subsequent large-scale fluid flows in the core, excited by the tidal distortion of the core–mantle boundary, could have powered a lunar dynamo.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Impactor Origin for Lunar Magnetic Anomalies
TL;DR: It is shown that the most prominent grouping of anomalies can be explained by highly magnetic extralunar materials from the projectile that formed the largest and oldest impact crater on the Moon: the South Pole–Aitken basin.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the current knowledge of the thickness of the crust, the diameter and state of the core, seismic attenuation, heat flow, and interior composition.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors determine the structure of the crust beneath the InSight landing site on Mars using both marsquake recordings and the ambient wavefield, and find that the observations are consistent with models with at least two and possibly three interfaces.
