Defining the age of the Moon has proven to be an elusive task because it requires reliably
dating lunar samples using radiometric isotopic systems that record fractionation of parent …

The spatial distribution of mare basalts, titanium and KREEP (potassium, rare earth
elements and phosphorus) on the Moon is asymmetrical between the nearside and farside …

The analysis of lunar samples returned to Earth by the Apollo and Luna missions changed
our view of the processes involved in planet formation. The data obtained on lunar samples …

Abstract The Moon's Earth-facing hemisphere hosts a geochemically anomalous region, the
Procellarum KREEP Terrane, which is widely thought to have provided radiogenic heat for …

The crust of the Moon experienced a unique geodynamic evolution, beginning with its
crystallization from a magma ocean, continuing through a period of heavy impact …

Using viscoelastic mass/spring model simulations, we explore tidal evolution and migration
of compact binary asteroid systems. We find that after the secondary is captured into a spin …

Properties of emulsions such as stability, viscosity or color can be influenced by the droplet
size distribution. High-pressure homogenization (HPH) is the method of choice for …

Mass–spring model simulations are used to investigate past spin states of a viscoelastic
Phobos and Deimos. From an initially tidally locked state, we find crossing of a spin–orbit …

The paper addresses the possibility of a young Mars having had a massive moon, which
synchronized the rotation of Mars, and gave Mars an initial asymmetric triaxiality to be later …

Using a damped mass-spring model, we simulate wobble of spinning homogeneous
viscoelastic ellipsoids undergoing non-principal axis rotation. Energy dam** rates are …
