Martian Bow Shock Oscillations Driven by Solar Wind Variations: Simultaneous Observations From Tianwen‐1 and MAVEN

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
The Martian bow shock stands as the first defense against the solar wind and shapes the Martian magnetosphere. Previous studies showed the correlation between the Martian bow shock location and solar wind parameters.

Catalytic/Protective Properties of Martian Minerals and Implications for Possible Origin of Life on Mars

open access: yesLife, 2018
Minerals might have played critical roles for the origin and evolution of possible life forms on Mars. The study of the interactions between the “building blocks of life” and minerals relevant to Mars mineralogy under conditions mimicking the harsh ...

A Mars Environment Chamber Coupled with Multiple In Situ Spectral Sensors for Mars Exploration

open access: yesSensors, 2021
Laboratory simulation is the only feasible way to achieve Martian environmental conditions on Earth, establishing a key link between the laboratory and Mars exploration. The mineral phases of some Martian surface materials (especially hydrated minerals),

Martian atmospheric O3 retrieval development for the NOMAD-UVIS spectrometer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The composition of atmospheric trace gases and aerosols is a highly variable and poorly constrained component of the martian atmosphere, and by affecting martian climate and UV surface dose, represents a key parameter in the assessment of suitability for

A Thermal Plume Model for the Martian Convective Boundary Layer

open access: yes, 2013
The Martian Planetary Boundary Layer [PBL] is a crucial component of the Martian climate system. Global Climate Models [GCMs] and Mesoscale Models [MMs] lack the resolution to predict PBL mixing which is therefore parameterized.

Heterogeneous distribution of H2O in the Martian interior: Implications for the abundance of H2O in depleted and enriched mantle sources

open access: yes, 2016
We conducted a petrologic study of apatite within 12 Martian meteorites, including 11 shergottites and one basaltic regolith breccia. These data were combined with previously published data to gain a better understanding of the abundance and distribution

New Martian valley network volume estimate consistent with ancient ocean and warm and wet climate

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
The volume of Martian valley network (VN) cavity and the amount of water needed to create the cavity by erosion are of significant importance for understanding the early Martian climate, the style and rate of hydrologic cycling, and the possibility of an

Reviewing Martian Atmospheric Noble Gas Measurements: From Martian Meteorites to Mars Missions

open access: yesGeosciences, 2020
Martian meteorites are the only samples from Mars available for extensive studies in laboratories on Earth. Among the various unresolved science questions, the question of the Martian atmospheric composition, distribution, and evolution over geological ...
