    Gravity and topography (1992)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: The paper summarizes the fundamental gravity field constants for Mars and a brief historical review of early determinations and current-day accurate estimates. These include the planetary gravitational constant, global figure, dynamical oblateness, mean density, and rotational period. Topographic results from data acquired from the 1967 opposition to the most recent, 1988, opposition are presented. Both global and selected local topographic variations and features are discussed. The inertia tensor and the nonhydrostatic component of Mars are examined in detail. The dimensionless moment of inertia about the rotational axis is 0.4 for a body of uniform density and 0.37621 if Mars were in hydrostatic equilibrium. By comparing models of both gravity and topography, inferences are made about the degree and depth of compensation in the interior and stresses in the lithosphere.

    Venus gravity anomalies and their correlations with topography (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: This report provides a summary of the high-resolution gravity data obtained from the Pioneer Venus Orbiter radio tracking data. Gravity maps, covering a 70 deg latitude band through 360 deg of longitude, are displayed as line-of-sight and vertical gravity. Topography converted to gravity and Bouguer gravity maps are also shown in both systems. Topography to gravity ratios are made over several regions of the planet. There are markedly different ratios for the Aphrodite area as compared to the Beta and Atla areas.

    Experimental determination of Mercury's mass and oblateness (1976)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: The ratio of the mass of the sun to that of Mercury deduced from the first and third flybys of Mercury by Mariner 10 is 6,023,600 plus or minus 600 and 6,023,700 plus or minus 300, respectively. Additional analysis should improve these uncertainties by a factor of 2 to 5. Assuming an equatorial radius of 2439 km, the mean density of the planet is 5.44 g/cu cm. The gravitational oblateness deduced from the first encounter is discussed. Data received from the third encounter are better suited for this determination and yield J2 of 0.00008 plus or minus 0.00006. In addition, the third-encounter data are sensitive to local gravity effects or anomalies.

    Venus gravity - Analysis of Beta Regio (1982)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Radio tracking data acquired over Beta Regio were analyzed to obtain a surface mass distribution from which a detailed vertical gravity field was derived. In addition, a corresponding vertical gravity field was evaluated solely from the topography of the Beta region. A comparison of these two maps confirms the strong correlation between gravity and topography which was previously seen in line-of-sight gravity maps. It also demonstrates that the observed gravity is a significant fraction of that predicted from the topography alone. The effective depth of complete isostatic compensation for the Beta region is estimated to be 330 km, which is somewhat deeper than that found for other areas of Venus.
