Abstract
⺠Geodesy data constrain the interior structure and composition of Mars. ⺠Geodesy data imply that Mars has no inner core. ⺠The radius of the liquid core is 1794 ± 65 km. ⺠The core sulfur concentration is 16 ± 2 wt% if sulfur is the only light element in the core. ⺠Interior structure models with a chondritic Fe/Si ratio are consistent with the data.
