Scientific paper

Doppler radio-tracking data have provided detailed measurements for a Martian gravity map extending from 30 deg S to 65 deg N in latitude and through 360 deg of longitude. The feature resolution is approximately 500 km, revealing a huge anomaly associated with Olympus Mons, a mascon in Isidis Planitia, and other anomalies correlated with volcanic structure. Olympus Mons has been modeled with a 600 km surface disk having a mass of 8.7 times 10 to the 21st grams.
