Electron pitch angle distributions as indicators of magnetic field topology near Mars (2007, unknown): “Weaker fields are present in other parts of the Southern Highlands [Acuña et al., 1998, 1999; Connerney et al., 2001], and very weak (<10 nT) fields have been detected in some locations in the northern hemisphere [Lillis et al., 2004; Connerney et al., 2005; Mitchell et al., 2007].”
The Climate of Early Mars (2016, background): “If plate tectonics ever initiated at all, it ceased rapidly (Connerney et al. 2001; Solomon et al. 2005).”
EARLY CRUSTAL EVOLUTION OF MARS 1 (2005, result): “Figure 4b presents a spherical harmonic representation of the data from the model of Purucker et al. (2000); several other workers (Connerney et al. 2001, Cain et al. 2003, Arkani-Hamed 2002) have produced essentially identical results.”
Degree-1 convection in the Martian mantle and the origin of the hemispheric dichotomy (2006, methodology): “Second, we used the complete heating formulation [ Christensen and Yuen, 1985 ].”
What makes a planet habitable? (2009, background): “Present Mars lacks a detectable global magnetic field (Acuña et al. 1998, 2001; Connerney et al. 2001).”
