Chromium on Mercury: New results from the MESSENGER X-Ray Spectrometer and implications for the innermost planet's geochemical evolution
Larry R. Nittler, Asmaa Boujibar, Ellen Crapster-Pregont +6
Mercury, the innermost planet, formed under highly reduced conditions, based mainly on surface Fe, S, and Si abundances determined from MESSENGER mission data. The minor element Cr…
Global Major-Element Maps of Mercury from Four Years of MESSENGER X-Ray Spectrometer Observations
Larry R. Nittler, Elizabeth A. Frank, Shoshana Z. Weider +4
The X-Ray Spectrometer (XRS) on the MESSENGER spacecraft provided measurements of major-element ratios across Mercury's surface. We present global maps of Mg/Si, Al/Si, S/Si, Ca/Si…
Thermal effects of late accretion to the crust and mantle of Mercury
Stephen J. Mojzsis, Oleg Abramov, Elizabeth A. Frank +1
Impact bombardment on Mercury in the solar system late accretion phase (ca. 4.4 to 3.8 Ga) caused considerable mechanical, chemical and thermal reworking of its silicate reservoirs…
