Locating the Largest Event Observed on Mars With Multi-Orbit Surface Waves

M. P. Panning et al.

Summary: Prior to the 2018 landing of the InSight mission, the InSight science team proposed an approach to locate Marsquakes using multiple orbit surface waves, independent of seismic velocity models. On May 4, 2022, the largest Marsquake, S1222a M(W)4.7, was recorded, providing an opportunity to test this method. Through the analysis of group arrivals of Rayleigh waves, the distance, timing, and epicenter of the Marsquake were determined. The results agreed with previous measurements and enhanced our confidence in locating Marsquakes.

S1222a-The Largest Marsquake Detected by InSight

Taichi Kawamura et al.

Summary: NASA's InSight has detected a seismic event labeled S1222a, with a moment magnitude of M(W)(Ma)4.7, five times larger than the second largest event. This event is significant as it reveals new geological features and transmits a wide range of frequencies. It is located near the North-South dichotomy and outside the tectonically active Cerberus Fossae region. The event shows no evident geological or tectonic characteristics.

Seismology on Mars: An analysis of direct, reflected, and converted seismic body waves with implications for interior structure

C. Duran et al.

Summary: The InSight mission has provided the first direct observations of the interior structure of Mars through seismic data collected since 2019. By analyzing low-frequency seismic events, researchers have identified seismic phases and determined the depth and structure of Mars. The study reveals the seismic velocity models of the crust, mantle, and core, as well as the thermal structure of Mars, indicating a liquid core.

Evidence for crustal seismic anisotropy at the InSight lander site

Jiaqi Li et al.

Summary: By analyzing the recorded broadband and low-frequency events on Mars, we have made the first detection of horizontally polarized shear wave reflections, which provide insights into the crustal structure of Mars. The analysis of marsquake signals indicates the presence of a crustal interface at a depth of approximately 8 km and a significant velocity contrast across it. Furthermore, our findings suggest the existence of seismic anisotropy within the top crustal layer at the lander site.

Newly formed craters on Mars located using seismic and acoustic wave data from InSight

Raphael F. Garcia et al.

Summary: This study reports observations of seismic and acoustic waves linked to meteoroid impact events on Mars, recorded by the InSight lander's seismometer. The analysis of waveform arrival times and polarization helped estimate impact locations, later confirmed by orbital imaging of craters. The findings demonstrate the potential of planetary seismology in understanding impact dynamics and planetary structures.

John F. Clinton et al.

Summary: The InSight mission has been collecting high-quality seismic data on Mars since February 2019, identifying 465 seismic events within the first year, with events categorized into low frequency and high frequency families. Additionally, 712 short duration but high frequency events have been observed, likely associated with a local source driven by thermal stresses.

Improving Constraints on Planetary Interiors With PPs Receiver Functions

D. Kim et al.

Summary: Seismological constraints obtained from receiver function (RF) analysis provide valuable insights into the crust and mantle structures, and the use of PPs-RFs proves to be effective in extracting information and constraints from limited data, particularly in planetary missions. By analyzing the Marsquakes recordings using a transdimensional hierarchical Bayesian deconvolution approach, researchers were able to confirm previous findings, identify new phases, and determine a three-layer crust structure on Mars, shedding light on the Martian crust's composition and properties.

Thickness and structure of the martian crust from InSight seismic data

Brigitte Knapmeyer-Endrun et al.

Summary: The study analyzed marsquake recordings and ambient wavefields to determine the crustal structure beneath the InSight landing site on Mars. The average thickness of the Martian crust was found to be between 24 and 72 kilometers, with thicker models consistent with observed heat-producing elements at the shallow surface and thinner models requiring greater concentration at depth.

Upper mantle structure of Mars from InSight seismic data

Amir Khan et al.

Summary: By analyzing seismic data from Mars, researchers have constrained the planet's internal structure and thermochemical state, revealing that Mars has a thicker thermal lithosphere than Earth and a much higher enrichment of heat-producing elements in the crust than previously thought.

Seismic detection of the martian core

Simon C. Stahler et al.

Summary: The study found that Mars has a core radius of around 1830 +/- 40 kilometers, with a density of 5.7 to 6.3 grams per cubic centimeter. The martian mantle is mineralogically similar to Earth's upper mantle and transition zone, but lacks a bridgmanite-dominated lower mantle, suggesting a different geological structure. This also affects the seismic observations of potentially active regions on Mars.
