How Does the Thermal Environment Affect the Exosphere/Surface Interface at Mercury?

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
The fate of Mercury’s exospheric volatiles and, in a lesser way, of the refractory particles absorbed in the first few centimeters of the surface both depend highly on the temperature profile with depth and its diurnal variation. In this paper, we review

Geological Mapping of the Debussy Quadrangle (H-14) Preliminary Results [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Geological mapping of Mercury is crucial to build an understanding of the history of the planet and to set the context for BepiColombo’s observations [1].

A case for limited global contraction of Mercury

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment, 2021
Mercury is a one-plate planet that has experienced significant radial contraction primarily driven by interior cooling. In some previous studies aimed at estimating the total magnitude of contraction, numerous faults are assigned to positive relief ...

Infrared Nanocrystals for Space Application: Hardness to Irradiations

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This article investigates infrared HgTe nanocrystals under X‐ray and ion irradiation, revealing remarkable radiation hardness. It uncovers distinct degradation mechanisms and shows that the nanomaterial outperforms integrated electronics. The results position colloidal nanocrystals as promising candidates for resilient space and harsh‐environment ...

An Estimate of the Importance of Electron-stimulated Desorption of Sodium at Mercury

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
We revisit the importance of electron-stimulated Desorption (ESD) as a source of neutral sodium (Na) atoms and Na ^+ ions in Mercury’s exosphere and ionosphere.

DETERMINATION OF PLANETOCENTRIC COORDINATES OF ALBEDO DETAILS ON SURFACE OF THE SPHERICAL PLANET AND SOME POINTS OF THE ILLUMINATED PART OF PLANET'S VISIBLE DISK UNDER VARIOUS PHASE ANGLES FROM GROUND TELESCOPIC OBSERVATIONS

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
The method of processing of the images of planets is based on use of auxiliary coordinate system connected with equator of intensity, is applied for determination of planetocentric coordinates of albedo details on the visible disk of the spherical planet

The Intra-Mercurial Planet Or Planets [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1876
THE question of the existence of one or more planetary bodies revolving within the orbit of Mercury is again revived by Weber's observation of a round black spot just within the sun's eastern limb, on the afternoon of April 4 in the present year which had not been visible on the same morning, and early on the following day had disappeared. The position

Heteroatom‐Engineering Promoted Co9S8 Bi‐functional Electrocatalyst for Hydrazine‐Assisted Hydrogen Production at Industrial Current Density

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Fe and P co‐doped Co9S8 nanocorals (Fe, P‐Co9S8) are successfully synthesized by a heteroatom engineering strategy, which exhibit outstanding bifunctional electrocatalytic performance for both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and hydrazine oxidation reaction (HzOR).

Terrestrial planet compositions controlled by accretion disk magnetic field

open access: yesProgress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2021
Terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are differentiated into three layers: a metallic core, a silicate shell (mantle and crust), and a volatile envelope of gases, ices, and, for the Earth, liquid water.

Modulating Interfacial Potential Gradients in Metal−Carbon Catalysts via Phase‐Engineering for Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
It is elucidated that phase engineering of cobalt modulates the interfacial potential gradients of cobalt–carbon electrocatalysts, enhancing the intrinsic electrocatalytic performance. Modulating the dominant crystalline phase of cobalt from a hexagonal close‐packed to a face‐centered cubic enriches the electron density of carbon shells, thereby ...
