Mercury: The View after MESSENGER (Cambridge Planetary Science) eds. by Sean C. Solomon, Larry R. Nittler, Brian J. Anderson
Requirements: .PDF reader, 49.1mb
Overview: Observations from the first spacecraft to orbit the planet Mercury have transformed our understanding of the origin and evolution of rocky planets. This volume is the definitive resource about Mercury for planetary scientists, from students to senior researchers. Topics treated in depth include Mercury's chemical composition; the structure of its crust, lithosphere, mantle, and core; Mercury's modern and ancient magnetic field; Mercury's geology, including the planet's major geological units and their surface chemistry and mineralogy, its spectral reflectance characteristics, its craters and cratering history, its tectonic features and deformational history, its volcanic features and magmatic history, its distinctive hollows, and the frozen ices in its polar deposits; Mercury's exosphere and magnetosphere and the processes that govern their dynamics and their interaction with the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field; the formation and large-scale evolution of the planet; and current plans and needed capabilities to explore Mercury further in the future.
Provides a thorough synthesis of our knowledge of the planet Mercury following the recent completion of the MESSENGER mission, summarizing for the first time everything we have learned about the planet Mercury and how our view of the formation and evolution of rocky planets has changed as a consequence
Written by members of the MESSENGER science team and selected additional experts who collectively span all fields of planetary science to ensure that every aspect of the planet is treated in a balanced and cohesive fashion
The reference against which future observations of Mercury from Earth or spacecraft will be benchmarked; it will not be superseded by new spacecraft observations for many years
Genre: Non-Fiction > Educational
