We have observed both minor-arc (R1) and major-arc (R2) Rayleigh waves for the largest marsquake (magnitude of 4.7 ± 0.2) ever recorded. Along the R1 path (in the lowlands), inversion results show that a simple, two-layer model with an interface located at 21–29 km and an upper crustal shear-wave velocity of 3.05–3.17 km/s can fit the group...

The shallowest intracrustal layer (extending to 8 ± 2 km depth) beneath the Mars InSight Lander site exhibits low seismic wave velocity, which is likely related to a combination of high porosity and other lithological factors. The SsPp phase, an SV- to P-wave reflection on the receiver side, is naturally suited for constraining the seismic...
