Dynamical rotation of Phobos

, 2012
International audiencePhobos is in synchronous spin-orbit resonance, like our Moon. The variations of its rotational motion are described by oscillations, called physical librations.

Origin of Phobos and Deimos: Orbital Evolution Shortly after Formation from a Potential Dislocation

The Planetary Science Journal
This paper deals with the formation and evolution of Mars’ moons, Phobos and Deimos, assuming the dislocation of a larger progenitor as the origin of these moons. The study by R. Hyodo et al.

Calibration of the MEGANE gamma-ray and neutron spectrometer for JAXA’s Mars Moon eXplorer (MMX) mission to Phobos

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science
JAXA’s Mars Moon eXploration (MMX) spacecraft carries a NASA-provided γ-ray and neutron spectrometer called MEGANE. MEGANE’s measurements will be used to characterize the elemental composition of Mars’ largest and innermost moon, Phobos, with the goal of

Longitudinal heterogeneity of Phobos’ crater size-frequency distribution: coevolution of resurfacing and orbital dynamics

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science
Phobos always keeps the same side facing its host planet like Earth’s Moon, making it a key comparative target for studying the coevolution of planet–satellite systems.

A Carbonaceous Chondrite Based Simulant of Phobos

, 2017
In support of an ESA-funded concept study considering a sample return mission, a simulant of the Martian moon Phobos was needed. There are no samples of the Phobos regolith, therefore none of the four characteristics normally used to design a simulant ...
