• The mercury imaging X-ray spectrometer (MIXS) on BepiColombo (2010, methodology): “The X-ray spectrometer on 126 MESSENGER (Leary et al., 2007) is derived from those on Apollo and NEAR 127 Shoemaker and uses collimated gas proportional counters as the detectors of X-rays 128 (Schlemm et al., 2007).”
• MESSENGER Mission Overview (2007, methodology): “XRS is an improved version of the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) Shoemaker X-ray spectrometer to measure the atomic surface abundances of Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Ti, and Fe by solar-induced X-ray fluorescence (Schlemm et al. 2007).”
• Is Mercury a volatile‐rich planet? (2012, background): “a function of fO2, which was suggested previously by Zolotov [2011]. Based on available experimental data for S solubility in silicate liquids [Beermann et al.”
