A stringent upper limit to SO2 in the Martian atmosphere
Surfur-bearing molecules have been found at the surface of Mars by the Viking lander, the Spirit and Opportunity rovers, and the OMEGA infrared spectrometer aboard Mars Express. However, no gaseous sulfur-bearing species have ever been detected in the Martian atmosphere. We search for SO2 signatures in the thermal spectrum of Mars at 7.4 μm using the Texas Echelon Cross Echelle Spectrograph (TE...
متن کاملStudy of the Martian Upper Atmosphere using Radio Tracking Data
Since the first in situ observations of the Martian atmosphere were made by the twin Viking landers, we have learned considerably more about its composition, dynamics and variability. Not only did the new data on global atmospheric densities generate opportunities to understand the atmospheric composition of early Mars and supply constraints at the upper limit of General Circulation Models, it ...
متن کاملA stringent upper limit to 18 cm radio emission from the extrasolar planet system τ Boötis
Context. It has been speculated for many years that some extrasolar planets may emit strong cyclotron emission at low radio frequencies in the range 10−100 MHz. Despite several attempts no such emission has yet been seen. Aims. The hot Jupiter system τ Boötis is one of the nearest (d = 15 pc) exoplanets known to date. The gravitational influence of this massive hot Jupiter (M = 6 Mjup) has lock...
متن کاملA mesoscale model for the Martian atmosphere
[1] The Pennsylvania State University/National Center for Atmosphere Research Mesoscale Model Version 5 (MM5) has been converted for use on Mars. Modifications are based on schemes implemented in the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Mars General Circulation Model (GCM). Validation of the Mars MM5 is conducted by comparison to the Mars GCM, examining the large-scale dynamics in the two mode...
متن کاملA Climate Database for the Martian Atmosphere
A new engineering model of the environment of Mars is outlined. The model is based on a database of statistics computed from a state-of-the-art Global Circulation Model of the martian atmosphere which represents our best knowledge of the atmosphere to date. A novel scheme for the representation of large scale variability in the engineering model, in terms of an optimal set of basis functions de...
