Abstract: Abstract Volatile-rich impacts on nominally airless solar system bodies such as the Moon can give rise to collisional, transient atmospheres, traces of which may be preserved at cold, permanently shadowed regions near the lunar poles.… read more here.

Abstract: We derive synthetic electrical conductivity, seismic velocity, and density distributions from the results of martian mantle convection models affected by basin-forming meteorite impacts. The electrical conductivity features an intermediate minimum in the strongly depleted topmost… read more here.
