Evidence for geologically recent explosive volcanism in Elysium Planitia, Mars [PDF]
Volcanic activity on Mars peaked during the Noachian and Hesperian periods but has continued since then in isolated locales. Elysium Planitia hosts numerous young, fissure-fed flood lavas with ages ranging from approximately 500 to 2.5 million years (Ma).

Learning Subjective Time-Series Data via Utopia Label Distribution Approximation [PDF]
Subjective time-series regression (STR) tasks have gained increasing attention recently. However, most existing methods overlook the label distribution bias in STR data, which results in biased models. Emerging studies on imbalanced regression tasks, such as age estimation and depth estimation, hypothesize that the prior label distribution of the ...

Martian pedestal craters: Marginal sublimation pits implicate a climate-related formation mechanism [PDF]
Pedestal craters on Mars are defined by an outward-facing scarp forming a plateau perched tens of meters above the surrounding terrain. Their origin has been attributed to impact armoring of the surface and subsequent removal of inter-crater terrain by ...

Impact Craters on Pluto and Charon and Terrain Age Estimates [PDF]
Pluto's terrains display a diversity of crater retention ages ranging from areas with no identifiable craters to heavily cratered terrains. This variation in crater densities is consistent with geologic activity occurring throughout Pluto's history and also a variety of resurfacing styles, including both exogenic and endogenic processes.

Post-hoc Selection of Pareto-Optimal Solutions in Search and Recommendation [PDF]
Information Retrieval (IR) and Recommender Systems (RS) tasks are moving from computing a ranking of final results based on a single metric to multi-objective problems. Solving these problems leads to a set of Pareto-optimal solutions, known as Pareto frontier, in which no objective can be further improved without hurting the others.

Latitude dependence of Martian pedestal craters: Evidence for a sublimation-driven formation mechanism [PDF]
We report on the results of a survey to document and characterize pedestal craters on Mars equatorward of similar to 60 degrees N and 65 degrees S latitude.

Statistical Characteristics of Nighttime ULF Waves Observed on the Surface of Mars by InSight
Abstract Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport (InSight) Fluxgate Magnetometer returned data from the Martian surface throughout the course of the InSight mission, between November 2018 and May 2022. Ultra‐low frequency (ULF) electromagnetic waves are commonly observed by InSight during nighttime hours.

The stratigraphy and history of Mars' northern lowlands through mineralogy of impact craters: A comprehensive survey [PDF]
The basin-filling materials of the northern lowlands, which cover approximately one third of Mars' surface, record the long-term evolution of Mars' geology and climate.
