Journal ArticleDOI
Extension and uplift at Alba Patera, Mars: Insights from MOLA observations and loading models
Patrick J. McGovern,Sean C. Solomon,James W. Head,David Smith,Maria T. Zuber,Gregory A. Neumann +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors employ finite element models for the volcano and lithospheric stress field under a combination of loading mechanisms to constrain the conditions governing the evolution of Alba Patera.
Major-element composition of Mercury's surface from MESSENGER X-ray Spectrometry
Shoshana Z. Weider,Larry R. Nittler,R. D. Starr,Timothy J. McCoy,William V. Boynton,Denton S. Ebel,Carolyn M. Ernst,L. G. Evans,John O. Goldsten,D. K. Hamara,David J. Lawrence,Ralph L. McNutt,C. E. Schlemm,Sean C. Solomon,Ann L. Sprague +14 more
TL;DR: Geochemical data show that the major rock-forming components of Mercury are characterized by high sulfur content, and this observation supports the view that Mercury formed from highly reduced precursor materials, perhaps akin to enstatite chondrite meteorites or anhydrous cometary dust particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Imaging Mercury's polar deposits during MESSENGER's low-altitude campaign
Nancy L. Chabot,Carolyn M. Ernst,David A. Paige,H. Nair,Brett W. Denevi,David T. Blewett,Scott L. Murchie,Ariel N. Deutsch,James W. Head,Sean C. Solomon +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, images obtained during MESSENGER's low-altitude campaign in the final year of the mission provide the highest-spatial-resolution views of Mercury's polar deposits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intense energetic electron flux enhancements in Mercury's magnetosphere: An integrated view with high-resolution observations from MESSENGER.
Daniel N. Baker,R. M. Dewey,David J. Lawrence,John O. Goldsten,Patrick N. Peplowski,Haje Korth,James A. Slavin,Stamatios M. Krimigis,Stamatios M. Krimigis,Brian J. Anderson,George C. Ho,Ralph L. McNutt,Jim M. Raines,David Schriver,Sean C. Solomon,Sean C. Solomon +15 more
TL;DR: Examination of data at high temporal resolution during the period March 2013 through October 2014 supports strongly the view that energetic electrons are accelerated in the near‐tail region of Mercury's magnetosphere and are subsequently “injected” onto closed magnetic field lines on the planetary nightside.
Journal ArticleDOI
Narrow‐band ultra‐low‐frequency wave observations by MESSENGER during its January 2008 flyby through Mercury's magnetosphere
Scott A. Boardsen,Scott A. Boardsen,Brian J. Anderson,Mario H. Acuña,James A. Slavin,Haje Korth,Sean C. Solomon +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a boundary layer (BL) was detected before the outbound magnetopause (MP) crossing and the ULF frequency and amplitude increased from CA to the edge of the boundary layer.
