Tianwen-1 and MAVEN Observations of the Response of Mars to an Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) are solar transients that have significant effects on the upper atmosphere and ionosphere of Mars. The simultaneous spacecraft observations from Tianwen-1/MOMAG in solar wind and multiple instruments on board

Martian zeolites as a source of atmospheric methane [PDF]
Icarus, 2016 The origin of the martian methane is still poorly understood. A plausible explanation is that methane could have been produced either by hydrothermal alteration of basaltic crust or by serpentinization of ultramafic rocks producing hydrogen and reducing crustal carbon into methane.

Photochemistry of Methane and Ethane in the Martian Atmosphere [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2020 AbstractWe develop an existing 1‐D photochemistry model to include a comprehensive description of organic chemistry on Mars that includes the oxidation products of methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6),a longer‐chain hydrocarbon that can be used to differentiate between abiotic and biotic surface releases of CH4.

Influence of gravity waves on the climatology of high-altitude Martian carbon dioxide ice clouds [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2018 Carbon dioxide (CO2) ice clouds have been routinely observed in the middle atmosphere of Mars. However, there are still uncertainties concerning physical mechanisms that control their altitude, geographical, and seasonal distributions.

Martian Proton Aurora Brightening Reveals Atmospheric Ion Loss Intensifying
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The Martian proton aurora is a distinct aurora phenomenon resulting from the direct deposition of solar wind energy into Mars' dayside atmosphere. What solar wind parameters influence the aurora activity in the short term is yet unknown, as are the ...

Cloud trains associated with Martian Mountain Lee Waves on the eastern side of the Phlegra Montes
Earth, Planets and Space, 2023 Mountain lee waves have often been observed on the eastern side of the Phlegra Montes as wave trains visualized by water ice clouds in the Martian atmosphere. The seasonality and formation condition of these lee waves and associated cloud trains have not
