The current state of understanding of the lunar interior is the sum of nearly four decades of
work and a range of exploration programs spanning that same time period. Missions of the …

An accurate assessment of the bulk chemical composition of Mars is fundamental to
understanding planetary accretion, differentiation, mantle evolution, the nature of the …

A planet's crust bears witness to the history of planetary formation and evolution, but for
Mars, no absolute measurement of crustal thickness has been available. Here, we …

For 2 years, the InSight lander has been recording seismic data on Mars that are vital to
constrain the structure and thermochemical state of the planet. We used observations of …

Abstract The InSight (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat
Transport) mission landed in Elysium Planitia on Mars on 26 November 2018 and fully …

Comparing compositional models of the terrestrial planets provides insights into
physicochemical processes that produced planet-scale similarities and differences. The …

In this paper, we present a series of mathematical abstractions for seismologically relevant
wave equations discretized using finite-element methods, and demonstrate how these …

With 2years of tracking data collection from the MRO spacecraft, there is noticeable
improvement in the high frequency portion of the spherical harmonic Mars gravity field. The …

Understanding of the geologic evolution of Mars has been greatly improved by recent
orbital,,, in situ, and meteorite,, data, but insights into the earliest period of Martian …

We present a spherical harmonic solution of the static gravity field of Mars to degree and
order 120, GMM-3, that has been calculated using the Deep Space Network tracking data of …
