Scientific paper

Mercury's longitudinal librations depend on the moment of inertia of its silicate outer part and as such contain information on the interior structure and composition of Mercury. For a correct interpretation of libration observations in terms of Mercury's interior, all effects on the rotation variations of Mercury larger than the measurement precision must be taken into account. Here we study the effect of tides and the existence of a solid inner core on the librations of Mercury.
