Call for Papers: Call for Papers on Occator Crater on Ceres

The Dawn mission has collected a wealth of data about the dwarf planet Ceres with its Framing Camera, Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer, Gamma Ray and Neutron Detector and gravity science investigation. Occator crater is one of the most intriguing locations on Ceres as observed by Dawn, and it contains distinctive bright regions called the Cerealia Facula and Vinalia Faculae. Our understanding of the formation and evolution of Occator crater, in particular the Cerealia and Vinalia Faculae, is currently under investigation. We hereby call for submissions of papers to a special issue on the “The Formation and Evolution of Ceres’ Occator Crater”.

Call for Papers: Call for Papers: ICARUS Special Issue on Asteroids

Asteroids are small, usually rocky, bodies that primarily populate a region of the solar system between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter known as the asteroid belt. However, they can also be found throughout the solar system. As leftovers from the formation of the solar system, these bodies carry the signature of the birth of our planetary system. Their properties allow testing of current theories and open doors to the development of new theories pertaining to different evolutionary processes in the solar system.

Call for Papers: Call for Papers on Mars Polar Science VI

A multitude of spacecraft missions have greatly advanced our understanding of the Martian polar regions over the past two decades. As such, the Sixth International Conference on Mars Polar Science and Exploration was the latest in a series of meetings intended to promote the exchange of knowledge and ideas between planetary and terrestrial scientists interested in Mars polar and climate research.

Call for Papers: The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, Six Years of Science and Exploration at the Moon

Announcing a call for papers in a special issue of Icarus with a focus on lunar and solar system science that substantially rely on Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter data. LRO, launched in 2009 has a suite of seven instruments, all of which have been depositing data in the Planetary Data System every three months. We are requesting submissions that rely on LRO data, but we encourage submissions that combine data from LRO with data from other missions.

Call for Papers: MicroMars to MegaMars: Integration of Surface and Orbital Investigations

Whereas on Earth the study of geology evolved from one of field work to incorporation of remote sensing, that of Mars is the reverse, with orbital-based data only complemented by surface investigations from rovers in the last 10+ years. The merging of these datasets has yielded profound new understandings of the geologic history and modern processes on Mars. These include studies of mineralogy, stratigraphy, structural geology, surface dating, landscape modification rates, and many other research areas. This special issue seeks papers that incorporate data from surface (MSL, MER, etc.) and orbital (MRO, MEX, Odyssey, etc.) missions that have increased our understanding of Martian geology.
