Gravity field and internal structure of Mercury from MESSENGER.
Radio tracking of the MESSENGER spacecraft has provided a model of Mercury's gravity field. In the northern hemisphere, several large gravity anomalies, including candidate mass concentrations (mascons), exceed 100 milli-Galileos (mgal). Mercury's northern hemisphere crust is thicker at low latitudes and thinner in the polar region and shows evidence for thinning beneath some impact basins. The...
متن کاملMESSENGER observations of large dayside flux transfer events: Do they drive Mercurys substorm cycle?
The large-scale dynamic behavior of Mercury’s highly compressedmagnetosphere is predominantly powered by magnetic reconnection, which transfers energy and momentum from the solar wind to the magnetosphere. The contribution of flux transfer events (FTEs) at the daysidemagnetopause to the redistribution of magnetic flux in Mercury’s magnetosphere is assessed with magnetic field data acquired in o...
متن کاملPhylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region in Menyanthaceae using predicted secondary structure.
Sequences of the nuclear internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions ITS1 and ITS2 have been used widely in molecular phylogenetic studies because of their relatively high variability and facility of amplification. For phylogenetic applications, most researchers use sequence alignments that are based on nucleotide similarity. However, confidence in the alignment often deteriorates at taxonomic le...
متن کاملDistribution and compositional variations of plasma ions in Mercurys space environment: The first three Mercury years of MESSENGER observations
[1] We have analyzed measurements of planetary ions near Mercury made by the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) Fast Imaging Plasma Spectrometer (FIPS) over the first three Mercury years of orbital observations (25 March 2011 through 31 December 2011). We determined the composition and spatial distributions of the most abundant species in the regions sampl...
متن کاملInternal Structure Features of Asphalt Mixture for Field Samples
Asphalt mixture is heterogeneous in nature; therefore, macroscopic parameters alone cannot describe the mechanical behavior of the mixture. In recent years, the arrangement of the aggregate particles in terms of spatial and directional distributions, and contact points are considered as the internal structure of asphalt. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the microstructural chara...
