Recent Hotspot Volcanism on Venus from VIRTIS Emissivity Data
Abstract
Hotspots on Venus: The surface of Venus shows clear signs of volcanism, but are there active volcanoes on Venus today? The answer to this question will bear on our understanding of the planet's climate evolution and interior dynamics. Using surface thermal emissivity data returned by the Venus Express spacecraft, Smrekar et al. (p. 605 , published online 8 April) looked at three hotspots on Venus. These places were identified by analogy with terrestrial hotspots like Hawaii, which are believed to overlie mantle plumes and to be the most likely sites for current volcanic activity. Lava flows at the three hotspots have anomalously high thermal emissions when compared with their surroundings. Low emissivity is generally interpreted as the result of surface alteration by the corrosive atmosphere of Venus. High emissivity implies that not much alteration took place and thus that the hotspots must represent recently active volcanoes younger than 2.5 million years.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
