The Elysium Rise in the Martian northern hemisphere is the second largest volcanic province on Mars. To understand the volcanic activity in the Elysium Rise, the gravitational characteristics of this area were studied using the Bouguer gravity data derived from Goddard Mars Model-3 (GMM-3). The Bouguer gravity anomaly in the Elysium Rise was separated into regional fields and residual fields and the subsurface density profiles were obtained by a three-dimensional density inversion. The different anomaly features of the large volcanoes in the Elysium Rise were exhibited by the separation and density inversion results. Elysium Mons is characterized by a positive residual gravity anomaly surrounded by an annular negative anomaly, which possibly results from the volcano loading on a lithosphere plate. Albor Tholus has a positive gravity anomaly but with no obvious annular negative anomalies, which may result from the relatively small mass deficit generated by the eruption of Albor Tholus, unlike the Elysium Mons. In addition, the residual field shows prominent positive gravity anomalies with 150 km wide, centred at 157.2°E, 12.1°N, which could possibly be a hidden impact crater with an untraceable surface morphology or topography. Our study reveals the subsurface mass source distributions and structures of the Elysium volcanoes, providing a new method to understand the tectonic framework of the Martian subsurface through the study of gravity.
