Geophysical evidence for an enriched molten silicate layer above Mars’s core

The detection of deep reflected S waves on Mars inferred a core size of 1,830 ± 40 km (ref. (1)), requiring light-element contents that are incompatible with experimental petrological constraints. This estimate assumes a compositionally homogeneous Martian mantle, at odds with recent measurements of...
