Are oxidized shergottite-like basalts an alternative to ‘‘andesite’’ on Mars?
[1] We acquired new thermal emission spectra of oxidized synthetic Martian meteorite-like basalts for comparison to Martian surface spectra acquired by the Mars Global Surveyor Thermal Emission Spectrometer (MGS TES). We find that true thermal emission spectra of the oxidized basalts do not provide good spectral matches to the Martian spectra. By contrast, previous biconical reflectance spectra...
متن کاملLunar Mare Basalts as Analogues for Martian Volcanic Compositions: Evidence from Visible, Near-ir, and Thermal Emission Spectroscopy
Introduction: The lunar mare basalts potentially provide a unique sample suite for understanding the nature of basalts on the martian surface. Our current knowledge of the mineralogical and chemical composition of the basaltic material on Mars comes from studies of the basaltic martian meteorites and from orbital and surface remote sensing observations. Petrographic observations of basaltic mar...
متن کاملTemperature dependent Magnetization and Remanent Magnetization in Pseudo-binary x(Fe2TiO4)-(1-x)(Fe3O4)(0.30
In this work we present preliminary results on magnetization and remanence of synthetic pseudo-binary x(Fe2TiO4)-(1x)(Fe3O4)(0.30<x<1.00). Magnetic characterization was performed at temperature ranges from 100 K up to 400 K. The final objective is to characterize the magnetic response as a function of temperature in order to foresight the future magnetic measurements of the magnetometer include...
متن کاملCo2 Solubility in Martian Basalts and Applications to Atmospheric Evolution
Introduction: A strong early Martian greenhouse atmosphere is required to account for evidence of liquid water on the surface of Mars [e.g. 1]. Many models of Mars’ atmospheric evolution incorporate magmatic outgassing fluxes of CO2 based on analogy to terrestrial magmas [2-5]. Here we investigate the solubility of carbon dioxide in Martian analogue basaltic melts at 2.0 GPa to constrain this i...
متن کاملRapid decrease in Martian crustal magnetization in the Noachian era: Implications for the dynamo and climate of early Mars
[1] The magnetic signatures and crater retention ages of the 19 largest (>1000 km diameter) impact basins on Mars are examined to constrain the history of the acquisition of crustal magnetization during the Noachian era. The 5 most clearly impact-demagnetized basins are younger than the 14 basins within which lies substantially re-magnetized crust. Poisson analysis shows that the most likely ti...
