Interior Dynamics and Thermal Evolution of Mars -- a Geodynamic Perspective
Ana-Catalina Plesa, Mark Wieczorek, Martin Knapmeyer +3
Over the past decades, global geodynamical models have been used to investigate the thermal evolution of terrestrial planets. With the increase of computational power and improveme…
Lithospheric Structure of Venusian Crustal Plateaus
Julia S. Maia, Mark A. Wieczorek
Crustal plateaus are Venusian highlands characterized by tectonized terrains. It is commonly interpreted that their topography is isostatically supported and that they represent fo…
Impacts on the Moon: analysis methods and size distribution of impactors
Chrysa Avdellidou, Edhah Munaibari, Raven Larson +6
We are preparing a telescope system to carry out a survey of detection and analysis of lunar impact flashes. In the framework of this project, here we present all necessary methods…
Statistical analysis of fireballs: Seismic signature survey
T. Neidhart, K. Miljković, E. K. Sansom +5
Fireballs are infrequently recorded by seismic sensors on the ground. If recorded, they are usually reported as one-off events. This study is the first seismic bulk analysis of the…
The timeline of the Lunar bombardment - revisited
A. Morbidelli, D. Nesvorny, V. Laurenz +5
The timeline of the lunar bombardment in the first Gy of the Solar System remains unclear. Some basin-forming impacts occurred 3.9-3.7Gy ago. Many other basins formed before, but t…
Minimum-variance multitaper spectral estimation on the sphere
Mark A. Wieczorek, Frederik J. Simons
We develop a method to estimate the power spectrum of a stochastic process on the sphere from data of limited geographical coverage. Our approach can be interpreted either as estim…
Back to the Moon: The Scientific Rationale for Resuming Lunar Surface Exploration
I. A. Crawford, M. Anand, C. S. Cockell +4
The lunar geological record has much to tell us about the earliest history of the Solar System, the origin and evolution of the Earth-Moon system, the geological evolution of rocky…
A pre-Caloris synchronous rotation for Mercury
Mark A. Wieczorek, Alexandre C. M. Correia, Mathieu Le Feuvre +2
The planet Mercury is locked in a spin-orbit resonance where it rotates three times about its spin axis for every two orbits about the Sun. The current explanation for this unique…
Spatiospectral concentration on a sphere
Frederik J. Simons, F. A. Dahlen, Mark A. Wieczorek
We pose and solve the analogue of Slepian's time-frequency concentration problem on the surface of the unit sphere to determine an orthogonal family of strictly bandlimited functio…
