Thermal fatigue as the origin of regolith on small asteroids

TL;DR: It is reported that thermal fatigue, a mechanism of rock weathering and fragmentation with no subsequent ejection, is the dominant process governing regolith generation on small asteroids and that thermal fragmentation induced by the diurnal temperature variations breaks up rocks larger than a few centimetres more quickly than do micrometeoroid impacts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Initial results from the InSight mission on Mars

W. Bruce Banerdt, +76 more
- 24 Feb 2020 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

SEIS: Insight’s Seismic Experiment for Internal Structure of Mars

Philippe Lognonné, +186 more
TL;DR: The science goals of the experiment and the rationale used to define its requirements are described, and the hardware, from the sensors to the deployment system and associated performance, including transfer functions of the seismic sensors and temperature sensors are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Constraints on the shallow elastic and anelastic structure of Mars from InSight seismic data

Philippe Lognonné, +115 more
- 24 Feb 2020 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the crustal diffusivity and intrinsic attenuation using multiscattering analysis and found that seismic attenuation is about three times larger than on the Moon, which suggests that the crust contains small amounts of volatiles.
Journal ArticleDOI

The atmosphere of Mars as observed by InSight

Don Banfield, +63 more
- 24 Feb 2020 - 
TL;DR: The InSight (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport) lander is measuring Mars's atmosphere with unprecedented continuity, accuracy and sampling frequency.
