No Stromatolites on Mars?
Stromatolites, photosynthetic microorganisms and Mars: Numerous upcoming martian missions will be searching for traces of life. With the observational instrumentation that will be available on future robotic missions, such as MSL and ExoMars, the most obvious traces to search for will be macroscopic to microscopic laminations produced by microbial mats, such as stromatolites. Stromatolites are ...
متن کاملThermodynamics of Clay Minerals on Mars: Insight into the Geochemical Environment of Early Mars
Introduction: The Mars Express OMEGA imaging spectrometer recently identified clay minerals (nontronite and montmorillonite) in several outcrops of Noachian age [1]. Clay minerals usually result from long term alteration of primary minerals by liquid water and on Earth are usually the products of weathering processes. The presence of clay minerals suggests a primary environment completely diffe...
متن کاملRecharge mechanism of near-equatorial hydrogen on Mars: Atmospheric redistribution or sub-surface aquifer
[1] The geographical distribution of water-equivalenthydrogen (WEH) near the equator of Mars was compared with the topography and distribution of atmospheric water vapor to constrain possible recharge mechanisms of nearsurface water (<1 m of the surface). Recharge through a subsurface conduit provided by an aquifer, although possible, seems less likely than recharge through the atmosphere. Alth...
متن کاملMars core structure—concise review and anticipated insights from InSight
This review summarizes the knowledge of Mars’ interior structure, its inferred composition, and the anticipated seismological properties arising from its composition with particular focus on Mars’ core. The emphasis on the core stems from the unusual morphology of the liquidus diagram of iron at moderate pressures when enriched in sulfur. From a fairly detailed liquidus diagram constructed from...
