Numerical Investigation of Mercury-Bearing Minerals to Address the Low Emissivity Anomaly on the Highlands of Venus
Abstract
Using Gibbs free energy minimization software, we investigated the ability of HgTe, and other Hg-bearing minerals, to deposit onto the highlands of Venus. Our data suggests that Hg-bearing minerals are unlikely to explain the low emissivity anomaly.
