Extended Data Fig. 4: Inverted parameters used to define the Martian core velocity model.

From: Seismic detection of a 600-km solid inner core in Mars

Extended Data Fig. 4

a, The outer core radius (ROC) and inner core radius (RIC). b, The core VP at the CMB (VP_CMB), the VP of the outer-core side at the ICB (VP_OC_ICB), and the VP jump at ICB (δVP_ICB). c, Definition of VP_CMB and ROC in the case of a MSL overlying the liquid OC. Here, the ROC is the sum of the real core radius and the thickness of MSL. The core velocity at a certain depth is interpreted with a smooth function as defined in Methods.
