TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used data acquired by the MESSENGER spacecraft during 11 months of orbital observations to revisit the depths of craters at high northern latitudes on Mercury.

TL;DR: Based on the observed density of impact craters on the Venus surface obtained from Venera 15-16 radar images, a formalism to estimate the contributions made to lithospheric heat transport by volcanism and recycling is presented in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Wang-Sheeley-Arge (WSA)-ENLIL solar wind modeling tool to calculate the values of interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) strength (B), solar wind velocity (V) and density (n), ram pressure (~nV2), cross-magnetosphere electric field (V×B), Alfven Mach number (MA), and other derived quantities of relevance for solar wind magnetosphere interactions.

TL;DR: In this article, a formalism for the simultaneous inversion of surface-wave phase velocity and attenuation, previously developed for Love waves, is extended to Rayleigh waves, allowing the specification of the intrinsic dispersion-attenuation relation that arises from linearity and causality, and taking full account of the dependence of surface wave velocity and Q −1 on the real and imaginary parts of an anelastic earth structure.

TL;DR: In this paper, a digital terrain model (1000m effective spatial resolution) of the Caloris basin, the largest well-characterized impact basin on Mercury, was produced from 208 stereo images obtained by the MESSENGER narrow-angle camera.
