Mineralogical Characterization of the Lunar South Polar Region: 2. Exploring Mafic‐Bearing Targets With Optimized Traverse Paths at Mons Kocher

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Several national space agencies and commercial entities are currently targeting the Moon's south polar region for human and robotic exploration. Of particular interest are materials excavated and ejected from the Moon's largest and oldest impact structure, the South Pole‐Aitken Basin (SPA), as these ancient materials are a window into the ...

Impact Plasma Amplification of the Ancient Mercury Magnetic Field

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Spacecraft measurements of Mercury indicate that it has a core dynamo with a surface field of 200–800 nT. These data also indicate that the northern hemisphere crust contains remanent magnetization likely produced by an ancient magnetic field. The inferred magnetization intensity is consistent with a wide range of paleofield strengths (0.2–50 ...

Origin of Late Noachian‐Early Hesperian Valley Networks on Mars: Insights From Landform Evolution and Ice Sheet Modeling

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Dendritic valley networks on Mars have been cited as evidence for a warm and wet Noachian Mars, permitting rainfall precipitation and surface runoff. However, the climatic conditions required to sustain rainfall on early Mars remain debated.

The OMEGA/Mars Express Dust Storm Catalog

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This paper describes the OMEGA Dust Storm Catalogue (ODSC), built over almost 4 Martian Years (end of MY 26 to mid MY 30d) from OMEGA/Mars Express hyperspectral observations. A storm detection method has been developed based on a pixel clustering algorithm applied to the OMEGA dust optical depth retrievals made at 0.9 μ ${\upmu }$m.

Saponite Bearing Material Excavated During the Formation of a Recent 25‐m‐Diameter Impact Crater in Southeastern Arabia Terra on Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM), Context Imager (CTX), and High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment observations were analyzed for a 25‐m‐wide impact crater and associated ejecta deposits located in the dust‐covered Arabia Terra region.
