The MESSENGER mission to Mercury: Status after the Venus flybys
TL;DR: The MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft, launched on 3 August 2004, is well into its voyage to initiate a new era in our understanding of the terrestrial planets as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the phase-space density of He{sup +} was derived as a function of magnetic pitch angle, and it was shown that pickup ions observed near 0.3 AU will not have had sufficient time to be energized substantially.
Journal ArticleDOI
An upper mantle seismic discontinuity beneath the Galápagos Archipelago and its implications for studies of the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary
J. S. Byrnes,Emilie E. E. Hooft,Douglas R. Toomey,Darwin R. Villagómez,Dennis Geist,Sean C. Solomon +5 more
TL;DR: An upper mantle seismic discontinuity (the Gutenberg or G discontinuity), at which shear wave velocity decreases with depth, has been mapped from S-top conversions in radial receiver functions recorded across the Galapagos Archipelago.
