This research investigates the evolution of volatile elements in Mercury's magma using data from the MESSENGER spacecraft and laboratory experiments. The goal is to understand the role of carbon and sulfur in Mercury's geological processes under extreme conditions.
Mercury has been extensively characterized by the NASA MESSENGER spacecraft that was orbiting the planet from 2011 to 2015.
The surface of Mercury is covered by lavas and magmatic processes have structured the planet into an extremely large core, a thin mantle and a relatively thick crust, which is highly reduced, iron-depleted, and rich in volatiles.
Some volatiles (sulfur and carbon) have been measured at the surface in relatively high abundances compared to other terrestrial planets butthe sp…
