Interdisciplinary investigations of comparative planetology. Annual status report, 1 October 1977-30 September 1978. [Cornell Univ. Lab. for Planetary Studies]
Abstract
Research supported wholly or in part by NASA's Planetary Programs Office is summarized. Topics covered include: the evaporation of ice in planetary atmospheres: ice-covered rivers on Mars; reducing greenhouses and the temperature history of Earth and Mars; particle motion on Mars inferred from the Viking Lander cameras; the nature and visibility of crater-associated streaks on Mars; the equilibrium figure of Phobos and other small bodies; striations on Phobos; radiation pressure and Poynting-Robertson drag for small spherical particles; direct imaging of extra-solar planets with stationary occultations; the relation between planetology and conventional astrophysics; remote spectral studies and in situ X-ray fluorescence analysis of the Martian surface; small channels on Mars; junction angles of Martian channels; constraints on Aeolian phenomena on Mars; the geology of Mars; and the flow of erosional debris on the Martian terrain.
