An ICME impact on the Martian hydrogen corona

Earth and Planetary Physics, 2020
The Martian hydrogen exosphere extends out of the bow shock, forming a "hydrogen corona". The solar wind interacts directly with the hydrogen corona. During an ICME event on 7 March 2015, the SWIA instrument onboard Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution

MAVEN Proton Observations Near the Martian Moon Phobos: Does Phobos Backscatter Solar Wind Protons?

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
ESA's Mars Express (MEX) may have observed twice solar wind protons backscattered by Phobos. However, these detections remain uncertain and call for an independent confirmation.

Effects of Ambient Moisture and Large‐Strain Dynamic Preloading on the Dynamic Properties of the EAC‐1A Regolith Simulant

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 16, Page 5701-5711, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The EAC‐1A lunar mare simulant, a silty sand, was selected by the European Astronaut Center (EAC) for use in the LUNA analogue facility's lunar simulation testbed. Its stress‐ and strain‐dependent shear modulus and damping ratio were determined via resonant column testing on specimens prepared either from ambient moisture material or oven ...

Passive Observation of Martian Atmosphere Using O₂(a¹Δ_g) Airglow Radiation: Forward Simulation and Wind Retrieval

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
The passive monitoring of Martian wind fields is crucial for deciphering the Martian atmosphere. With the 3 strong spectral lines in the 1.27 μm O2(a1Δg) airglow emission band, this article designs the Martian Static Wind Imaging Michelson ...

Unusual Enhancement in He(23S) Airglow Brightness Associated With Interplanetary Magnetic Field Northward Turnings During the 2025 New Year's Day Storm

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract The upper thermosphere is important in the context of space weather, but continuous monitoring of the thermosphere at high latitudes remains limited despite its strong variations associated with geomagnetic activity. Orthohelium, He(23S), is found from the upper thermosphere to lower exosphere, and is a promising tracer of atmospheric dynamics.

Mapping the Western Jezero Crater Rim From Orbit: Connections to Regional Geologic Units and Context for Exploration by the Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The Mars 2020 rover is currently traversing the western rim of Jezero, a Middle to Late Noachian‐aged crater formed by an impactor that struck the northwest edge of Isidis Planitia (hereafter referred to as the Isidis basin) on Mars. Previous studies suggest that pre‐Isidis basin and Noachian outcrops are preserved throughout this region ...

Modeling the Redistribution of Dust Across the Martian Surface for Mars Years 24 to 36

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Global Dust Events (GDEs) transport huge amounts of dust across the Martian atmosphere. GDEs occur only every few Mars Years (MYs), but the reasons behind this inter‐annual variability remain poorly understood. The question whether surface dust exhaustion and subsequent replenishment explain this variability remains open.

Mesoscale Modeling of Titan’s Shangri‐La Region: The Impact of Surface Properties on Winds

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The knowledge of Titan’s near‐surface atmosphere is sparse. The Huygens descent probe measured winds, and the multiple dune field observations and possible dust storms suggest active near‐surface dynamics. The Dragonfly rotorcraft lander will fly close to the surface in the Shangri‐La region, near the Huygens landing site, where complex dune ...

Automatic Crater Classification Using a Deep‐Learning‐Based Pipeline

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Identifying and classifying impact craters on Mars is crucial for understanding the planet's geological history and surface evolution. Traditional crater classification relies on manual annotation methods, which are often limited by human biases and the difficulty of interpreting geomorphological features.

Fifty Years Later: Revisiting Viking 2 Seismic Signals Through InSight

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 7, October 2026.
Abstract For nearly 50 years, the origin of the candidate seismic signals recorded by Viking 2 remained unresolved because of limited instrumental sensitivity, onboard observation, data compression, and the absence of Martian seismic context. Here we reconstruct the Viking seismic workflow and reinterpret the two Viking candidate events, recorded on ...
