Aeolis=Sharp[edit]

If Aeolis Mons redirects to Mount Sharp (Mars), and this is unlikely to change, they ought not to be linked separately (giving the illusion of two distinct links). —Tamfang (talk) 19:08, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

East/West errors[edit]

This list needs full recheck of coordinates. I think, it was (partially) made from the db from xephem: mars_db (1st external link in article). This DB uses North/West coordinate system ("# Name | Latitude, degs +N | Longitude, degs +W | Diameter, km | Feature Type"). But the list is given in North/East coordinates.

There is more actual database of montes from USGS, which can be used to regenerate the list: Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature (Mars,montes)

Examples:

Mont	The List (North/East)	marsDB (North/West)	USGS (North/East)
Ascraeus Mons	11.9°N 104.5°E	11.3 104.5	11.92 255.92
Erebus Montes	36.0°N 175.0°E	39.9 170.5	35.66 185.02
Nereidum Montes	38.9°S 44.0°E	-41 43.5	-37.57 316.79
Tanaica Montes	39.8°N 91.1°E	?	39.55 269.17
Phlegra Montes	41.1°N 194.8°E	40.9 197.4	40.4 163.71

diagram[edit]

needs fixing up, but file:Aeolis Mons height comparison.svg exists now. Arlo James Barnes 02:40, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, we still probably ought to distinguish elevation-above-areoid from topographic prominence, but it has been at least somewhat 'fixed-up' now and added to the article. Arlo James Barnes 16:57, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
