previous studies which showed a somewhat off-center core. And I'd like to see how these findings relate to the presence of subsurface water (liquid or ice) on Mars.

Here's a question: is that mystifying black stuff that is found coming out of craters in many areas, but particularly around Margaritifer and Meridiani, some sort of iron-sulfur compound extruded from the interior?
