Recent Gravity Models as a Result of the Lunar Prospector Mission
- A. Konopliv, S. Asmar, E. Carranza, W. L. Sjogren, D. Yuan
- Physics
- 1 March 2001
The lunar gravity field is determined from the tracking data of previous missions to the Moon with the 1998–1999 Lunar Prospector (LP) mission being the major contributor. LP provided the first… Expand
A homogeneous nucleus for comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko from its gravity field
- M. Pätzold, T. Andert, +13 authors F. Scholten

Cometary nuclei consist mostly of dust and water ice. Previous observations have found nuclei to be low-density and highly porous bodies, but have only moderately constrained the range of allowed… Expand
Mars high resolution gravity fields from MRO, Mars seasonal gravity, and other dynamical parameters
- A. S. Konopliv, S. Asmar, +5 authors M. Zuber
- Geology
- 2011
Abstract With 2 years of tracking data collection from the MRO spacecraft, there is noticeable improvement in the high frequency portion of the spherical harmonic Mars gravity field. The new JPL Mars… Expand
