Journal ArticleDOI
Could Pantheon Fossae be the result of the Apollodorus crater-forming impact within the Caloris basin, Mercury?
TL;DR: In this article, a series of finite element models were used to explore the idea that the Apollodorus crater-forming impact induced the formation of radially oriented graben by altering a pre-existing extensional stress state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radius and limb topography of Mercury obtained from images acquired during the MESSENGER flybys
Jürgen Oberst,Stephan Elgner,F. Scott Turner,Mark E. Perry,Robert Gaskell,Maria T. Zuber,Mark S. Robinson,Sean C. Solomon +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the mean equatorial radius and polar radius are identical to within error, suggesting that rotational oblateness is negligible when compared with other sources of topography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Venus tesserae feature layered, folded, and eroded rocks
Paul K. Byrne,Richard Ghail,Martha S. Gilmore,A. M. Celâl Şengör,Christian Klimczak,David A. Senske,Jennifer L. Whitten,Sara Khawja,Richard E. Ernst,Richard E. Ernst,Sean C. Solomon +10 more
TL;DR: Hansen V. L. et al. as discussed by the authors showed a set of lenticular landforms along the northern margin of Ovda Regio that we interpret as periclinal folds.
The MESSENGER mission to Mercury: scienti(c objectives and implementation

TL;DR: The MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) mission has been designed to Ay by and orbit Mercury to address several critical questions regarding the formation and evolution of the terrestrial planets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fine‐scale crustal magnetization variations and segmentation of the East Pacific Rise, 9°10′–9°50′N
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the along-axis variation in the axial magnetic high is the combined result of variations in the thickness of the magnetic source layer and in the magnetization of the layer caused by changes in the iron and titanium abundances in the extrusive upper crust.
