Constraints on the Interior Structure and Seasonal Mass Redistribution of Mars from Radio Tracking of Mars Pathfinder
R. A. Preston,W. M. Folkner +1 more
TL;DR: Improved values of the precession of Mars' pole of rotation and the variation in Mars' rotation rate are estimated, which are in good agreement with a model of seasonal mass exchange of carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and ice caps.

Atmospheric Evolution on Inhabited and Lifeless Worlds
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a survey of the current understanding of the atmospheric evolution and climate on Earth, on other rocky planets within our Solar System, and on planets far beyond.
Large Longitude Libration of Mercury Reveals a Molten Core
TL;DR: Observations of radar speckle patterns tied to the rotation of Mercury establish that the planet occupies a Cassini state with obliquity of 2.11 ± 0.1 arc minutes, and indicate that the mantle of Mercury is decoupled from a core that is at least partially molten.

Ab Initio Simulations for Material Properties along the Jupiter Adiabat
Martin French,Andreas Becker,Winfried Lorenzen,Nadine Nettelmann,Mandy Bethkenhagen,Johannes Wicht,Ronald Redmer +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, basic thermodynamic and transport properties of hydrogen-helium-water mixtures for the extreme conditions along Jupiter's adiabat via ab initio simulations are determined in an accurate and consistent data set.

TL;DR: The structure of the magnetic field of Mercury was determined from analysis of orbital magnetometer measurements by the MESSENGER spacecraft as mentioned in this paper, where the magnetic equator was identified on 531 low altitude and 120 high altitude equator crossings from the zero in the radial cylindrical magnetic field component.

Preliminary reference earth model
TL;DR: In this paper, a large data set consisting of about 1000 normal mode periods, 500 summary travel time observations, 100 normal mode Q values, mass and moment of inertia have been inverted to obtain the radial distribution of elastic properties, Q values and density in the Earth's interior.

TL;DR: Global mineralogical mapping of Mars by the Observatoire pour la Mineralogie, l'Eau, les Glaces et l'Activite (OMEGA) instrument on the European Space Agency's Mars Express spacecraft provides new information on Mars' geological and climatic history.

A new geomagnetic polarity time scale for the Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic
Steven C. Cande,Dennis V. Kent +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relative widths of the magnetic polarity intervals for the entire Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic have been systematically determined from magnetic profiles from the world's ocean basins.

Waves and turbulence on a beta-plane
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the geophysical beta-effect of two-dimensional eddies in a homogeneous fluid at large Reynolds number, and showed that when the energy is intermittent in space, the cascade is halted simply by the spreading of energy about space, and then the end state of a zonal flow is probably not achieved.

TL;DR: Vector magnetic field observations of the martian crust were acquired by the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) magnetic field experiment/electron reflectometer (MAG/ER) during the aerobraking and science phasing orbits, at altitudes between approximately 100 and 200 kilometers.
