First LOCSMITH locations of deep moonquakes (2008)
Hempel, S., Knapmeyer, M., Sens-Schönfelder, C., Oberst, J.
Introduction Several thousand seismic events were recorded by the Apollo seismic network from 1969 to 1977. Different types of events can be distinguished: meteoroid impacts, thermal quakes and...

Mondbeben: Das Knirschen der Gezeiten (2008)
Die von 1969 bis 1972 von den Astronauten des Apollo-Programms auf dem Mond aufgestellten Seismometer registrierten während ihrer knapp achtjährigen Betriebsdauer Tausende tief im Mond...
An extended global Inventory of Mars Surface Faults (2008)
Knapmeyer, M., Schneider, S., Misun, M., Wählisch, M., Hauber, E.
For a quantitative assessment and interpretation of the tectonic history of Mars, a global mapping of tectonic structures is necessary. Based on the fault inventory used previously to model the...
A global 3-D anaglyphic view of Mars derived from Mars Laser Altimeter Data (2008)
Knapmeyer, M., Wählisch, M., Scholten, F., Oberst, J.
We show synthetic 3-D anaglyphic views of the planet Mars useful for science and education. We derived the images using height information from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) instrument [1]....
Investigations of deep quakes on the lunar far side (2008)
Hempel, S., Knapmeyer, M., Oberst, J.
Following the Apollo landings, four seismic stations operated on the Lunar surface (1969-77) and recorded over 12000 events. More than 7000 were identified as deep moonquakes, some of which are...
Of Moonquakes and Marsquakes (2008)
Knapmeyer, M., Oberst, J., Spohn, T.
Introduction: We have investigated the seismicity of two planetary bodies. The observed deep seismicity of the Moon is triggered by external forcing and shows a spatial distribution, which was not...
LunarEx - a proposal to cosmic vision (2008)
Smith, A., Crawford, I., Gowen, R.A., Ball, A.J., Barber, S.J., Church, P., ...
Lunar Tidal Deformation and the Internal Structure of the Moon (2007)
Sohl, F., Hussmann, H., Grott, M., Knapmeyer, M., Oberst, J.
Monitoring tidally-induced deformations of the Moon from orbiting and landed spacecraft would provide important clues on the constitution of the lunar interior, thereby augmenting the Apollo seismic...
Rationale for a Geophysics and Geodesy Payload for Lunar Networks (2007)

Erdbebenforschung auf dem Mond (2007)
Zum Arbeitsprogramm der Apollo-Astronauten gehörten seismische Experimente zur Untersuchung des Mondinneren. Dabei wurden Instrumente zur Registrierung natürlicher Mondbeben aufgestellt, aber auch...
Thermal Evolution of the Moon and a Possible Explanation for Deep Moonquakes (2007)
The Moonquakes were first detected by the sensitive seismometers placed during the Apollo missions at four relatively densely spaced locations on the lunar surface. Because winds, sea waves, and road...
Distribution of Lunar deep Quakes revisited (2007)
The lunar seismicity data, as collected by the Apollo seismic experiment in the years 1969-77, contain about 7000 events that were identified as deep moonquakes, presumably originating at depths...
Working models for spatial distribution and level of Mars' seismicity (2006)
Knapmeyer, M., Oberst, J., Hauber, E., Wählisch, M., Deuchler, C., Wagner, R.
We present synthetic catalogs of Mars quakes, intended to be used for performance assessments of future seismic networks on the planet. We have compiled a new inventory of compressional and...
Knapmeyer, M., Oberst, J., Hauber, E., Wählisch, M., Deuchler, C., Wagner, R.
This contribution presents a model that links the observed distribution of surface faults to the spatial distribution of marsquakes. The annual seismic moment budget is computed based on the...
Implications of the Global Surface Fault Distribution and of Lithospheric Cooling (2006)
Knapmeyer, M., Oberst, J., Hauber, E., Wählisch, M., Deuchler, C., Wagner, R.
This contribution presents a model that links the observed distribution of surface faults to the spatial distribution of marsquakes. The annual seismic moment budget is computed based on the...
Where do the Mars quakes occur? (2004)
Oberst, J., Deuchler, C., Wählisch, M., Hauber, E., Knapmeyer, M., Spohn, T.
Seismometer Network Configurations Optimized for the Observed Fault Distribution on Mars (2004)
Knapmeyer, M., Oberst, J., Spohn, T.
By providing a direct view into the interior of the planet, a seismological network on Mars would be of utmost importance for the further restriction of geodynamical modeling. A seismic network needs...
Geometry of the Aegean Benioff zones (1999)
The morphology of the Aegean Benioff zone was reconstructed using 1366 hypocentres from the PDE catalogue 1973-1997. Two such zones are identified under the Aegean area, a large one (Main Aegean...
