Direct Observations of Magnetic Reconnections at the Magnetopause of the Martian Mini‐Magnetosphere

Geophysical Research Letters
While Mars lacks a global intrinsic magnetic field, it does exhibit crustal magnetic anomalies (mostly in its Southern Hemisphere). These crustal magnetic anomalies directly interact with solar wind, which forms a mini‐magnetosphere and a region denoted ...

The Mars system revealed by the Martian Moons eXploration mission

Earth, Planets and Space, 2022
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) plans a Phobos sample return mission (MMX: Martian Moons eXploration). In this study, we review the related works on the past climate of Mars, its evolution, and the present climate and weather to describe the ...

Mid‐infrared detection and characterization of refractory inclusions in CM and CO chondrites: A non‐destructive approach for returned space samples

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 544-569, March 2025.
Abstract Refractory inclusions (RIs) in chondrites are widely used as tracers of early solar system formation conditions. In the context of sample‐return missions, a non‐destructive and non‐invasive analytical tool that can rapidly detect and characterize RIs in space samples during their early phase of study is highly needed.

Total electron content in the Martian atmosphere: A critical assessment of the Mars Express MARSIS data sets

, 2015
The total electron content (TEC) is one of the most useful parameters to evaluate the behavior of the Martian ionosphere because it contains information on the total amount of free electrons, the main component of the Martian ionospheric plasma. The Mars

Atmospheric Distribution and Escape of Odd Nitrogen on Mars

The Astronomical Journal
The total nitrogen budget in the Martian upper atmosphere is significantly contributed by the presence of odd nitrogen, mainly in the form of NO and ground-state or excited-state N.

Selective sampling of asteroids, the Moon, and Mars: Factors affecting the numerical abundances of members of meteorite groups

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Meteorite collection inventories show that many related meteorite groups have very different numerical abundances (e.g., lunar versus Martian meteorites; Eagle Station pallasites versus main‐group pallasites; eucrites versus diogenites; ungrouped Antarctic irons versus ungrouped non‐Antarctic irons; carbonaceous chondrite‐related (CC) iron ...
