Using data from the MUPUS instrument package gathered at the Philae landing site Abydos on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, the diurnal temperature to vary between 90 and 130 K and a sintered near-surface microporous dust-ice layer with a porosity of 30 to 65% is consistent with the data.
Thermochemical evolution of Mercury's interior
A number of observations performed by the MESSENGER spacecraft can now be employed to better understand the evolution of Mercury's interior. Using recent constraints on interior structure, surface…

On the spatial variability of the Martian Elastic Lithosphere Thickness: Evidence for Mantle Plumes?
[1] The present day elastic lithosphere thickness at the Martian north pole has recently been constrained to De > 300 km and this is a factor of 3–4 larger than elastic thickness estimates for other…
Outgassing History and Escape of the Martian Atmosphere and Water Inventory

The evolution and escape of the martian atmosphere and the planet’s water inventory can be separated into an early and late evolutionary epoch. The first epoch started from the planet’s origin and…
High heat flux on ancient Mars: Evidence from rift flank uplift at Coracis Fossae
- M. Grott, E. Hauber, S. Werner, P. Kronberg, G. Neukum
- Geology, Physics
- 1 November 2005
We have identified flexural uplift at the flanks of the Coracis Fossae Rift valley. Modeling the topography the elastic thickness is constrained to 10.3–12.5 km, the corresponding mechanical…
Long-Term Evolution of the Martian Crust-Mantle System
- M. Grott, D. Baratoux, M. Toplis
- Geology
- 2013
Lacking plate tectonics and crustal recycling, the long-term evolution of the crust-mantle system of Mars is driven by mantle convection, partial melting, and silicate differentiation. Volcanic…
