Crustal structure of Mars from gravity and topography
[1] Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) topography and gravity models from 5 years of Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) spacecraft tracking provide a window into the structure of the Martian crust and upper mantle. We apply a finite-amplitude terrain correction assuming uniform crustal density and additional corrections for the anomalous densities of the polar caps, the major volcanos, and the hydrost...
متن کاملCrustal Thickness on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge: Bull's-Eye Gravity Anomalies and Focused Accretion.
Spreading segments of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge show negative bull's-eye anomalies in the mantle Bouguer gravity field. Seismic refraction results from 33 degrees S indicate that these anomalies can be accounted for by variations in crustal thickness along a segment. The crust is thicker in the center and thinner at the end of the spreading segment, and these changes are attributable to variations...
متن کاملAnomalies and gravity
Anomalies can be viewed as a breaking of some Noether symmetry through the effects of the vacuum. In relativistic quantum field theory (QFT), such a (classical) symmetry is broken by field quantization, cf. Refs [20, 7, 51] for recent reviews. This has important implications on such physical processes as the decay of the neutral π-meson [6], induced instanton effects [43], or underlies the post...
متن کاملIonospheric characteristics above martian crustal magnetic anomalies
33.02 DPS Conference 2005.09.06 We studied several thousand electron density profiles from the Mars Global Surveyor Radio Science experiment. Electron densities in some of these profiles change significantly over vertical distances as short as 1--2 km, often causing localized ``bite-outs''. These ``anomalous'' profiles are preferentially located above crustal magnetic anomalies. Anomalous featu...
متن کاملInversion of regional gravity gradient data over the Vredefort Impact Structure, South Africa
We present the results for 3D inversion of gravity gradiometry data over the Vredefort Impact Structure in South Africa. With the rapidly growing field of gravity gradiometry, an investigation into the extraction of information from multiple components is warranted. Though the gradient tensor has five independent components, any combination of the components can be used to invert for a structur...
