Scientific paper

The eruption rates of single-lobed planetary lava flows are presently accounted for by a model for radiative losses from a partially crusted hotter core, assuming thermal characteristics similar to terrestrial flows. Eruption rates are within this framework expressible as functions of (1) exposed core area fraction, (2) initial core temperature, (3) core temperature upon cessation of flow, (3) crust thickness, and (4) the lava's density and heat capacity.
