Seismic detection of the martian core
Clues to a planet's geologic history are contained in its interior structure, particularly its core.
We detected reflections of seismic waves from the core-mantle boundary of Mars using …

The distribution of volatile elements during rocky planet formation
Core segregation and atmosphere formation are two of the major processes that redistribute
the volatile elements—hydrogen (H), carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and sulfur (S)—in and around …

First observations of core-transiting seismic phases on Mars
We present the first observations of seismic waves propagating through the core of Mars.
These observations, made using seismic data collected by the InSight geophysical mission …

Evidence for a liquid silicate layer atop the Martian core
Seismic recordings made during the InSight mission suggested that Mars's liquid core would
need to be approximately 27% lighter than pure liquid iron,, implying a considerable …

Geophysical and cosmochemical evidence for a volatile-rich Mars
Constraints on the composition of Mars principally derive from chemical analyses of a set of
Martian meteorites that rely either on determinations of their refractory element abundances …

Natural iron silicides: A systematic review
MA Rappenglück - Minerals, 2022 - mdpi.com
This review systematically presents all finds of geogenic, impact-induced, and

Planets or asteroids? A geochemical method to constrain the masses of White Dwarf pollutants
Polluted white dwarfs that have accreted planetary material provide a unique opportunity to
probe the geology of exoplanetary systems. However, the nature of the bodies that pollute …

Partitioning of nickel and cobalt between metal and silicate melts: Expanding the oxy-barometer to reducing conditions
Moderately siderophile elements (MSEs) are potential tracers of the thermodynamic
conditions prevailing during planetary core formation because their metal–silicate partition …

Comparisons of the core and mantle compositions of earth analogs from different terrestrial planet formation scenarios
The chemical compositions of Earth's core and mantle provide insight into the processes that
led to their formation. N-body simulations, on the other hand, generally do not contain …

Water storage capacity of the martian mantle through time
Water has been stored in the Martian mantle since its formation, primarily in nominally
anhydrous minerals. The short-lived early hydrosphere and intermittently flowing water on …
