In this work we discuss various selected mission concepts addressing Venus evolution
through time. More specifically, we address investigations and payload instrument concepts …

Magma ocean, water, and the early atmosphere of Venus

A Salvador, G Avice, D Breuer, C Gillmann… - Space Science …, 2023 - Springer
The current state and surface conditions of the Earth and its twin planet Venus are drastically
different. Whether these differences are directly inherited from the earliest stages of …

Resurfacing history and volcanic activity of Venus

RR Herrick, ET Bjonnes, LM Carter, T Gerya… - Space Science …, 2023 - Springer
Photogeologic principles can be used to suggest possible sequences of events that result in

The habitability of Venus

F Westall, D Höning, G Avice, D Gentry, T Gerya… - Space Science …, 2023 - Springer
Venus today is inhospitable at the surface, its average temperature of 750 K being
incompatible to the existence of life as we know it. However, the potential for past surface …

Dyke swarms record the plume stage evolution of the Atla Regio superplume on Venus

H El Bilali, RE Ernst, KL Buchan… - Communications Earth & …, 2023 - nature.com
Abstract Atla Regio, Venus, is interpreted as a young major mantle plume centre, and we
address whether it is at plume head or plume tail stage. Our approach uses graben-fissure …

Venus, the planet: introduction to the evolution of Earth's sister planet

JG O'Rourke, CF Wilson, ME Borrelli, PK Byrne… - Space Science …, 2023 - Springer
Venus is the planet in the Solar System most similar to Earth in terms of size and (probably)
bulk composition. Until the mid-20th century, scientists thought that Venus was a verdant …

Fully fluorinated non-carbon compounds NF3 and SF6 as ideal technosignature gases

S Seager, JJ Petkowski, J Huang, Z Zhan, S Ravela… - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
Waste gas products from technological civilizations may accumulate in an exoplanet
atmosphere to detectable levels. We propose nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) and sulfur …

[HTML][HTML] The tectonics and volcanism of Venus: New modes facilitated by realistic crustal rheology and intrusive magmatism

J Tian, PJ Tackley, DL Lourenço - Icarus, 2023 - Elsevier
To explain Venus' young surface age and lack of plate tectonics, Venus' tectonic regime has
often been proposed to be either an episodic-lid regime with global lithospheric overturns, or …

Tectono‐magmatic evolution of asymmetric coronae on Venus: Topographic classification and 3D thermo‐mechanical modeling

AJP Gülcher, TY Yu, TV Gerya - Journal of Geophysical …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Venus is the only other Earth‐sized planet in the Solar System but it does not exhibit
