Understanding the Effects of Micrometeoroid Bombardment on Graphite-rich Mercury Analogs through Laboratory Experiments and Electron Microscopy Analysis
Space weathering alters the spectral, microstructural, and chemical characteristics of the surface of Mercury, and an effective way to understand it is in the laboratory. To simulate energetic micrometeoroid impacts on the surface of Mercury, we irradiated pellets containing forsteritic olivine and...
