Perchlorates on Mars enhance the bacteriocidal effects of UV light
Perchlorates have been identified on the surface of Mars. This has prompted speculation of what their influence would be on habitability. We show that when irradiated with a simulated Martian UV flux, perchlorates become bacteriocidal.

Seven-year climatology of dust opacity on Mars [PDF]
This paper describes the procedure we have used to produce multi-annual dust scenarios for Martian years 24 to 30 from a multi-instrument dataset of total dust opacity observations.

Martian north polar cap summer water cycle
A key outstanding question in Martian science is 'are the polar caps gaining or losing mass and what are the implications for past, current and future climate?' To address this question, we use observations from the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging ...

Raman Spectroscopic Analysis and In Situ Heating Experiments on Adranosite Minerals
This study provides the first detailed Raman spectroscopic characterization of rare ammonium sulfates adranosite, iron‐rich adranosite, and adranosite‐(Fe) from volcanic and coal‐fire environments. Distinct spectral features reveal compositional differences and structural effects of Fe substitution.

An Investigation into the Suitability of Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria as Models for Martian Forward Contamination [PDF]
The NASA Planetary Protection policy requires interplanetary space missions do not compromise the target body for a current or future scientific investigation and do not pose an unacceptable risk to Earth, including biologic materials.

Abstract The radar surface echo can be separated into coherent and incoherent components by statistical approaches, and the coherent component can be described by a backscattering model related to the RMS height. According to backscattering models for fractal surfaces, the coherent power in decibels decreases with RMS height on a scale independent of ...
