Mercury’s Weather-Beaten Surface: Understanding Mercury in the Context of Lunar and Asteroidal Space Weathering Studies
Mercury’s regolith, derived from the crustal bedrock, has been altered by a set of space weathering processes. Before we can interpret crustal composition, it is necessary to understand the nature of these surface alterations. The processes that space weather the surface are the same as those that form Mercury’s exosphere (micrometeoroid flux and solar D.L. Domingue (B) · W.C. Feldman · F. Vila...
متن کاملLithological Influences on Contemporary and Long-Term Regolith Weathering at the Luquillo Critical Zone Observatory
1 Lithologic differences 2 variable silicate weathering fluxes, which provide an important negative feedback on climate over 3 geologic timescales. To isolate the influence of lithology on weathering rates and mechanisms, we 4 compare two nearby catchments in the Luquillo Critical Zone Observatory in Puerto Rico, which 5 have similar climate history, relief and vegetation, but differ in bedrock...
متن کاملSpace Weathering: an Ultraviolet Indicator
Introduction: We present evidence suggesting that the spectral slope of airless bodies in the UVvisible wavelength range can be used as an indicator of exposure to space weathering. While space weathering generally produces a reddening of spectra in the visible-NIR spectral regions, it tends to result in a bluing of the UV-visible portion of the spectrum, and may in some cases produce a spectra...
متن کاملCollisional evolution and reddening of asteroid surfaces I. The problem of conflicting timescales and the role of sizedependent effects
Space weathering is the generic term used for processes that modify the optical properties of surfaces of atmosphereless rocky bodies under exposure to the space environment. The general agreement about the relevance of the effects of space weathering on the spectral properties of S-complex asteroids fails when some basic quantitative estimates are attempted. In particular, there is severe disa...
متن کاملCRONO - A code for the simulation of chemical weathering
CRONO is a new code for simulating chemical weathering. This program allows for the simulation of complex scenarios of interaction in water-rock-gas systems while accounting for mineral dissolution kinetics and solution transport. The thermodynamic calculations are realized using the GEOCHEQ program. CRONO was developed for simulations of regolith formation on the surfaces of early Earth and Ma...
