The interior structure of Mars: Implications from SNC meteorites
Two end-member models of Mars' present interior structure are presented: the first model is optimized to satisfy the geochemical data derived from the SNC meteorites in terms of the bulk chondritic…

Early plate tectonics versus single-plate tectonics on Mars: Evidence from magnetic field history and crust evolution
[1] The consequences of an early epoch of plate tectonics on Mars followed by single-plate tectonics with stagnant lid mantle convection on both crust production and magnetic field generation have…

Mercury probably formed hot with early differentiation of an iron core. If this
core is pure iron, then it would have frozen very quickly. However, volatile-bearing
planetesimals most likely…

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.
