Scientific paper

The most recent reviews of the structure and origin of the Martian satellites Phobos and Deimos were published by J. A. Burns and J. B. Pollack several years ago. In this article the authors update these reviews on the basis of the most recent observational data and theoretical studies of Mars are discussed. The following tables are given: (1) Parameters of Martian satellites and their orbits; (2) Characteristic accelerations; (3) Abundances of radioactive elements; (4) Thermal models for different thicknesses of regolith layer; and (5) Thermal models of Phobos and Deimos. Different sections deal with structural characteristics, preliminary seismic models, figures and gravity fields, distributions of temperature and heat flow, orbital evolution and origin of the two satellites. A critical review of the published literature is presented.
