Mars: Dust Devil Tracks in Hellas Basin and Argyre Planitia
Introduction: Dust devils on Mars could be an important mechanism for delivery of dust into the Martian atmosphere. Suspended dust in the Martian atmosphere is observed to be ~1-2μm in diameter [1,2,3] and calculations of fall-out rate [4,5] imply an ongoing supply of this fine dust to the atmosphere. Laboratory wind tunnel experiments [6,7], however, suggest that entrainment of fine dust into ...
متن کاملTopography and morphology of the Argyre Basin, Mars: implications for its geologic and hydrologic history
Argyre, located in the southern highlands southeast of Tharsis, is one of the largest impact basins on Mars and formed in Early Noachian time. We use Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) data to characterize the basin and its geologic features and units. It has been proposed that meltback of a south polar ice cap during the Noachian completely 6lled the basin with water, that the out7ow channel in the no...

متن کاملMagnetic Anomalies within the Elliptical Borealis Basin of Mars
Introduction: The single impact hypothesis for the formation of the Martian hemispheric dichotomy boundary has recently been revived with the advent of hydrodynamic simulations that show that the planet could sustain such an event [1, 2]. For additional evidence , it has been proposed that the shape of dichot-omy boundary is elliptical [3]. This proposed boundary shape is based on carefully cho...
متن کاملLong-lived volcanism on the lunar farside revealed by SELENE Terrain Camera.
We determined model ages of mare deposits on the farside of the Moon on the basis of the crater frequency distributions in 10-meter-resolution images obtained by the Terrain Camera on SELENE (Selenological and Engineering Explorer) (Kaguya). Most mare volcanism that formed mare deposits on the lunar farside ceased at approximately 3.0 billion years ago, suggesting that mare volcanism on the Moo...
