Potassium Isotope Composition of Mars Reveals a Mechanism of Planetary Volatile Retention
Abstract
This study provides an alternative for evaluating the nature of volatiles on Mars using K isotopes. New K isotope data reveal that the sizes of differentiated planetary bodies fundamentally control their ability to retain volatiles.
