[1] Mercury is unique among the terrestrial planets for its relatively low mass (3.302 10 kg) and high average density (5.427 g cm ) that together imply an unusual iron-rich bulk composition and thus provide an important constraint on planet formation and evolution and on compositional variations between the planets. In light of the recent discovery of a partially or fully molten core of Mercur...

The use of short wave infrared (SWIR) imaging and illumination technology is at the forefront of system development for military and law enforcement in both night and daytime operational scenarios 2 3 . Along with enabling nighttime operations, a secondary benefit of SWIR imaging is that it offers the possibility to capture images through tinted materials, such as tinted architectural or automo...
