  • Charon tectonics 
    Beyer, Ross A.; Nimmo, Francis; McKinnon, William B.; Moore, J. (Jeff); Binzel, Richard P.; Conrad, Jack W.; Chen, Andy; Ennico, K.; Lauer, Tod R.; Olkin, Cathy B.; Robbins, Stuart; Schenk, Paul M.; Singer, Kelsi N.; Spencer, John R. (John Robert), 1957-; Stern, Alan, 1957-; Weaver, Harold A., 1953-; Young, Leslie A.; Zangari, Amanda M. (Elsevier, 2016-12-16)
    New Horizons images of Pluto's companion Charon show a variety of terrains that display extensional tectonic features, with relief surprising for this relatively small world. These features suggest a global extensional ...
  • Lunar impact basins revealed by Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory measurements 
    Neumann, Gregory A.; Zuber, Maria T.; Wieczorek, Mark A.; Head, James W.; Baker, David M. H.; Solomon, Sean C.; Smith, David E.; Lemoine, Frank G.; Mazarico, Erwan; Sabaka, Terence J.; Goossens, Sander J.; Melosh, H. J.; Phillips, R. J. (Roger J.), 1940-2020; Asmar, Sami W.; Konopliv, Alexander S.; Williams, James G.; Sori, Michael M.; Soderblom, Jason M.; Miljković, Katarina; Andrews-Hanna, Jeffrey C.; Nimmo, Francis; Kiefer, Walter S.; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6741-5460 (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2015-10-30)
    Observations from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission indicate a marked change in the gravitational signature of lunar impact structures at the morphological transition, with increasing diameter, ...
  • The nature and origin of Charon's smooth plains 
    Beyer, Ross A.; Spencer, John R. (John Robert), 1957-; McKinnon, William B.; Nimmo, Francis; Beddingfield, Chloe; Grundy, W. M.; Ennico, K.; Keane, James Tuttle; Moore, J. (Jeff); Olkin, Cathy B.; Robbins, Stuart; Runyon, Kirby; Schenk, Paul M.; Singer, Kelsi N.; Stern, Alan, 1957-; Weaver, Harold A., 1953-; Young, Leslie A.; New Horizons Team; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4803-5793 (Elsevier, 2019-05-01)
    Charon displays extensive plains that cover the equatorial area and south to the terminator on the sub-Pluto hemisphere observed by New Horizons. We hypothesize that these plains are a result of Charon's global extension ...
  • Thicknesses of mare basalts on the Moon from gravity and topography 
    Gong, Shengxia; Wieczorek, Mark A.; Nimmo, Francis; Kiefer, Walter S.; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6741-5460; Head, James W.; Huang, Chengli; Smith, David E.; Zuber, Maria T. (American Geophysical Union, 2016-05-11)
    A new method of determining the thickness of mare basalts on the Moon is introduced that is made possible by high‐resolution gravity data acquired from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission.
  • Workshop on Europa's Icy Shell: Past, Present, and Future : February 6-8, 2004, Houston, Texas 
    Nimmo, Francis; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3573-5915; Prockter, Louise; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3927-1073; Schenk, Paul M.; Showman, Adam (Lunar and Planetary Institute, 2004)
    The purpose was to discuss the current understanding of the icy shell, its physical state and evolution, and its interaction with the putative subsurface ocean. All aspects of the icy shell were considered, including ...
