The curious case of Mercury's internal structure (2013, background): “…2008] indicates that, relative to the commonly assumed S-bearing composition of Mercury’s core [Schubert et al., 1988; Harder and Schubert, 2001; Hauck et al., 2004; Hauck et al., 2007; Williams et al., 2007; Riner et al., 2008; Rivoldini et al., 2009; Grott et al., 2011], the inner core could…”
MESSENGER Mission Overview (2007, background): “…calculations that incorporate parameterized core and mantle convection as well as the generation and upward transport of mantle partial melt (Hauck et al. 2004) indicate that models consistent with 0.05–0.10% surface contraction since the end of heavy bombardment are limited to those with a…”
Sulfur's impact on core evolution and magnetic field generation on Ganymede (2005, methodology): “, 1983] modified from the typical implementation to include the potential transition from convective to fully conductive heat loss [Hauck et al., 2004], and we explicitly solve the nonlinear, time-dependent, heat conduction equation in the thermal lithosphere via a finite element solution with adapt”
The Magnetic Field of Mercury (2010, background): “…models of such thermal histories for Mercury have been based on the proposition that sulfur is the principal light element (Schubert et al. 1988; Hauck et al. 2004), although other elements considered as candidate components of the Earth’s outer core (e.g., Si, O, H, C) might yield a similar…”
