Hydrous minerals on Mars as seen by the CRISM and OMEGA imaging spectrometers: Updated global view

John Carter, F. Poulet, Jean‐Pierre Bibring et al. · 13 Dec 2012

The surface of Mars has preserved the record of early environments in which its basaltic crust was altered by liquid water. These aqueous environments have survived in the form of hydrological morphologies and alteration minerals, including clays and hydrated salts. Because these minerals probe on Earth aqueous environments compatible with biotic activity, understanding their formation…

Space weathering on airless bodies

C. M. Pieters, S. K. Noble · 9 Sep 2016

Space weathering refers to alteration that occurs in the space environment with time. Lunar samples, and to some extent meteorites, have provided a benchmark for understanding the processes and products of space weathering. Lunar soils are derived principally from local materials but have accumulated a range of optically active opaque particles (OAOpq) that include nanophase…

Organic molecules in the Sheepbed Mudstone, Gale Crater, Mars

Caroline Freissinet, D. P. Glavin, P. R. Mahaffy et al. · 1 Mar 2015

Abstract The Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument on board the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover is designed to conduct inorganic and organic chemical analyses of the atmosphere and the surface regolith and rocks to help evaluate the past and present habitability potential of Mars at Gale Crater. Central to this task is the development…

Revised CRISM spectral parameters and summary products based on the currently detected mineral diversity on Mars

C. E. Viviano, F. P. Seelos, S. L. Murchie et al. · 1 Jun 2014

Abstract The investigation of hyperspectral data from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) and the Observatoire pour la Minéralogie, L'Eau, les Glaces et l'Activitié (OMEGA) on Mars Express has revealed an increasingly diverse suite of minerals present on the Martian surface. A revised set of 60 spectral parameters derived from…

Evidence for perchlorates and the origin of chlorinated hydrocarbons detected by SAM at the Rocknest aeolian deposit in Gale Crater

D. P. Glavin, Caroline Freissinet, Kristen Miller et al. · 1 Oct 2013

A single scoop of the Rocknest aeolian deposit was sieved (< 150 µm), and four separate sample portions, each with a mass of ~50 mg, were delivered to individual cups inside the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument by the Mars Science Laboratory rover's sample acquisition system. The samples were analyzed separately by the SAM…

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets format?
