متن کاملDeformation associated with ghost craters and basins in volcanic smooth plains on Mercury: Strain analysis and implications for plains evolution
[1] Since its insertion into orbit about Mercury in March 2011, the MESSENGER spacecraft has imaged most previously unseen regions of the planet in unprecedented detail, revealing extensive regions of contiguous smooth plains at high northern latitudes and surrounding the Caloris basin. These smooth plains, thought to be emplaced by flood volcanism, are populated with several hundred ghost crat...
متن کاملLate-stage Effusive Volcanism on Mercury: Evidence from Mansurian Impact Basins
Introduction: The globally extensive smooth plains of Mercury are believed to be mostly volcanic in origin [1]. Widespread effusive volcanism on Mercury is thought to have ended by ~3.5 Ga due to secular cooling of the planet’s interior, and contraction of its lithosphere [2]. As the planet cools and contracts, melt should be produced at a slower rate and in smaller volumes, so it will stall de...

متن کاملRembrandt Impact Basin on Mercury: Determining the Origin of Low- and High- Albedo Smooth Plains
Introduction: Rembrandt impact basin (~715 km in diameter) is one the largest and most well-preserved impact basins on Mercury [1]. Crater density measurements indicate that Rembrandt is comparable in age to the Caloris impact basin, the largest and also one of the youngest basins on Mercury [e.g., 2, 3]. The basin rim-crest is visible and several massifs define an inner ring approximately 450 ...
