Water ice at low to midlatitudes on Mars
In this paper, we analyze water ice occurrences at the surface of Mars using near-infrared observations, and we study their distribution with a climate model. Latitudes between 45{\deg}S and 50{\deg}N are considered.

A Fluvio‐Lacustrine Environment Preserved in the Jezero Crater Inlet Channel, Neretva Vallis, Mars
Abstract Martian fluvial valleys provide evidence for the surface flow of liquid water, making them a key target for rover‐based investigations of ancient habitability. The Mars 2020 Perseverance rover spent ∼85 sols exploring the Bright Angel formation, exposed across the floor of Neretva Vallis: the western inlet channel of Jezero crater.

Abstract Atmospheric hydrogen chloride (HCl, or hydrochloric acid) has strong links to volcanic activity on Earth. If it is present in the atmosphere of Mars, it could hint at active magmatic processes, or the outgassing from the remnants of recently dormant volcanoes.

JAXA curation for Bennu samples returned by the NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission
Abstract NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission successfully collected and returned ~121.6 g of bulk samples from the B‐type, near‐Earth asteroid (101955) Bennu to Earth in September 2023. Upon returning to Earth, the samples were transported to the NASA Johnson Space Center where most of the samples have been stored and processed.

Abstract Apollo sample 67015 has been classified as a fragmental breccia comprised of highlands‐type clasts and is proposed to be the most complex Apollo 16 sample. 67015 is dominated by impact melt rock clasts that display a variety of textures, which have been previously interpreted to be indicative of multiple impact events.

Oblique impact: A process for providing meteorite samples of other planets [PDF]
Cratering flow calculations for a series of oblique to normal impacts of silicate projectiles onto a silicate halfspace were carried out to determine whether the gas produced upon shock vaporizing both projectile and planetary material could entrain and ...

Mineral Weathering Experiments for Terrestrial Planetary Analogs in a Continuous‐Flow Reactor
Understanding the groundwater environments for ancient Mars and other terrestrial bodies is of great interest for evaluating their habitability. Here, we experimentally tested simulated aqueous alterations of two Mars simulants (variants of MGS‐1) using a continuous‐flow packed bed reactor, reacting with three ionic simulated groundwater analog ...
