Two major hypotheses have been proposed for the origin of the Martian moons Phobos and
Deimos: the in situ formation theory, supported by the fact that they have circular orbits …

Phobos and Deimos, the two small satellites of Mars, are thought either to be asteroids
captured by the planet or to have formed in a disc of debris surrounding Mars following a …

We employ laboratory‐based grain size‐and temperature‐sensitive rheological models to
describe the viscoelastic behavior and tidal response of terrestrial bodies with focus on …

The origin of the Martian moons, Phobos and Deimos, remains elusive. While the
morphology and their cratered surfaces suggest an asteroidal origin,–, capture has been …

The evolution and internal structure of Mars are, by comparison to its present-day surface,
poorly known—although evidence of recent volcanic activity suggests that its deep interior …

Abstract The Martian moons Phobos and Deimos may have accreted from a ring of impact
debris, but explaining their origin from a single giant impact has proven difficult. One clue …

Phobos, the innermost satellite of Mars, displays an extensive system of grooves that are
mostly symmetric about its sub‐Mars point. Phobos is steadily spiraling inward due to the …

The long, shallow, parallel grooves that cut across the surface of the Martian moon Phobos
remain enigmatic, with distinct implications for understanding the evolution of loose airless …

Phobos is the target of the return sample mission Martian Moons eXploration by JAXA that
will analyze in great detail the physical and compositional properties of the satellite from …

In coupled ring-satellite systems, satellites exchange angular momentum with both the
primary through tides and the ring through Lindblad torques, and may exchange material …
