On the Impact Origin of Phobos and Deimos IV: Volatile Depletion
Ryuki Hyodo, Hidenori Genda, Sébastien Charnoz +2
Recent works have shown that Martian moons Phobos and Deimos may have accreted within a giant impact-generated disk whose composition is about an equal mixture of Martian material…
On the Impact Origin of Phobos and Deimos II: True Polar Wander and Disk Evolution
Ryuki Hyodo, Pascal Rosenblatt, Hidenori Genda +1
Phobos and Deimos are the two small Martian moons, orbiting almost on the equatorial plane of Mars. Recent works have shown that they can accrete within an impact-generated inner d…
The formation of the Martian moons
Pascal Rosenblatt, Ryuki Hyodo, Francesco C. Pignatale +5
Almost all the planets of our solar system have moons. Each planetary system has however unique characteristics. The Martian system has not one single big moon like the Earth, not…
Impact analysis of the transponder time delay on radio-tracking observables
Stefano Bertone, Christophe Le Poncin-Lafitte, Pascal Rosenblatt +3
Accurate tracking of probes is one of the key points of space exploration. Range and Doppler techniques are the most commonly used. In this paper we analyze the impact of the trans…
On the Impact Origin of Phobos and Deimos I: Thermodynamic and Physical Aspects
Ryuki Hyodo, Hidenori Genda, Sébastien Charnoz +1
Phobos and Deimos are the two small moons of Mars. Recent works have shown that they can accrete within an impact-generated disk. However, the detailed structure and initial thermo…
GUEST: Gravitational Universe Exploration with Satellite Tracking. A passive satellite laser-ranging mission for the dark gravitational Universe
Diego Blas, Aurélien Hees, F. Javier Atapuerca +78
GUEST is a space mission concept whose central objective is the detection of gravitational waves (GWs) in the microhertz band -- a physics-rich frequency window that no other prese…
On the impact origin of Phobos and Deimos III: resulting composition from different impactors
Francesco C. Pignatale, Sébastien Charnoz, Pascal Rosenblatt +3
The origin of Phobos and Deimos in a giant impact generated disk is gaining larger attention. Although this scenario has been the subject of many studies, an evaluation of the chem…
Planetary Radio Interferometry and Doppler Experiment (PRIDE) technique: A test case of the Mars Express Phobos fly-by
Dmitry A. Duev, Sergei V. Pogrebenko, Giuseppe Cimò +33
The closest ever fly-by of the Martian moon Phobos, performed by the European Space Agency's Mars Express spacecraft, gives a unique opportunity to sharpen and test the Planetary R…
EnVision: understanding why our most Earth-like neighbour is so different
Richard Ghail, Colin Wilson, Thomas Widemann +9
This document is the EnVision Venus orbiter proposal, submitted in October 2016 in response to ESA's M5 call for Medium-size missions for its Science Programme, for launch in 2029.…
