Scientific paper

While there is a concensus that most Venusian coronae are due to low-density diapirs rising through the mantle to impinge on, and deform the underlying crust, this still allows for a broad range of lithospheric thicknesses and diapir sizes, densities and depths. The corona is presently treated as axially symmetric, and is broken down into diapir and unwarped crust components; the results obtained argue for a phase-change mechanism of the low density diapirs producing coronae.
