Origin of the Martian global dichotomy by crustal thinning in the late Noachian or early Hesperian

Journal Article McGill, G E ; Dimitriou, A M - Journal of Geophysical Research; (United States)

The marked dichotomy in topography, surface age, and crustal thickness between the northern lowland and southern upland Mars has been explained as due to an initially inhomogeneous crust, a single mega-impact event, several overlapping large basin impacts, and first-order convective overturn of the martian mantle. All of the published hypotheses propose that the dichotomy was formed early in martian history; before the end of the primordial heavy bombardment. A primordial origin is inherent in the initial crustal inhomogeneity hypothesis, and required for both impact hypotheses. Endogenic hypotheses are not so constrained. Geological data indicate episodes of fracturing and faulting inmore »« less

Chronology of martian breccia NWA 7034 and the formation of the martian crustal dichotomy

Journal Article Cassata, William S. ; Cohen, Benjamin E. ; Mark, Darren F. ; ... - Science Advances

Martian meteorite Northwest Africa (NWA) 7034 and its paired stones are the only brecciated regolith samples from Mars with compositions that are representative of the average martian crust. These samples therefore provide a unique opportunity to constrain the processes of metamorphism and alteration in the martian crust, which we have investigated via U-Pu/Xe, ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar, and U-Th-Sm/He chronometry. U-Pu/Xe ages are comparable to previously reported Sm-Nd and U-Pb ages obtained from NWA 7034 and confirm an ancient (>4.3 billion years) age for the source lithology. After almost 3000 million years (Ma) of quiescence, the source terrain experienced several hundred million yearsmore »« less

EMBRYO IMPACTS AND GAS GIANT MERGERS. I. DICHOTOMY OF JUPITER AND SATURN's CORE MASS

Journal Article Shulin, Li ; Agnor, C B ; Lin, D N. C. - Astrophysical Journal

Interior to the gaseous envelopes of Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, there are high-density cores with masses larger than 10 Earth masses. According to the conventional sequential accretion hypothesis, such massive cores are needed for the onset of efficient accretion of their gaseous envelopes. However, Jupiter's gaseous envelope is more massive and its core may be less massive than those of Saturn. In order to account for this structural diversity and the super-solar metallicity in the envelope of Jupiter and Saturn, we investigate the possibility that they may have either merged with other gas giants or consumed several Earth-mass protoplanetary embryosmore »« less

The Impact of Updated Zr Neutron-capture Cross Sections and New Asymptotic Giant Branch Models on our Understanding of the s process and the origin of stardust

Journal Article Lugaro, M. ; Tagliente, Giuseppe ; Karakas, Amanda I. ; ... - Astrophysical Journal

We present model predictions for the Zr isotopic ratios produced by slow neutron captures in C-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars of masses 1.25-4 M-circle dot and metallicities Z = 0.01-0.03, and compare them to data from single meteoritic stardust silicon carbide (SiC) and high-density graphite grains that condensed in the outflows of these stars. We compare predictions produced using the Zr neutron-capture cross sections from Bao et al. and from n_TOF experiments at CERN, and present a new evaluation for the neutron-capture cross section of the unstable isotope Zr-95, the branching point leading to the production of Zr-96.
