  • The Floodwaters of Mars 7 June 2013
    The floodwaters of Mars 7 June 2013 erosive power of the fast-flowing water, this hardier outcrop has stood the test of time. Slightly further downstream, the flood waters did their best to erase the 100 km-wide Sharonov crater, crumpling its southern rim. Around Sharonov, many small streamlined islands form teardrop shapes rising from the riverbed, carved as water swept around these natural obstacles. Kasei Valles. (Phys.org) —Dramatic flood events carved this impressive channel system on Mars covering 1.55 million square kilometres, shown here in a stunning new mosaic from ESA's Mars Express. The mosaic, which features the spectacular Kasei Valles, comprises 67 images taken with the spacecraft's high-resolution stereo camera and is released during the week of the 10th anniversary of the spacecraft's launch to the Red Planet. Kasei Valles is one of the largest outflow channel systems on Mars – from source to sink, it extends Kasei Valles in context. some 3000 km and descends by 3 km in altitude. The scene covered in the mosaic spans 987 km north–south (19–36°N) and 1550 km east–west (280–310°E). The region between Sacra Mensa and Sharonov is seen in close-up detail in the perspective view The channel originates beyond the southern edge below, looking downstream from the northern flank of this image near Valles Marineris, and empties of Kasai Valles. into the vast plains of Chryse Planitia to the east (right). Zooming into the valley floor reveals small craters with bright dust 'tails' seemingly flowing in the Kasei Valles splits into two main branches that hug opposite direction to the movement of water.

  • Global Spectral Classification of Martian Low-Albedo Regions with Mars Global Surveyor Thermal Emission Spectrometer (MGS-TES) Data A
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 112, E02004, doi:10.1029/2006JE002726, 2007 Global spectral classification of Martian low-albedo regions with Mars Global Surveyor Thermal Emission Spectrometer (MGS-TES) data A. Deanne Rogers,1 Joshua L. Bandfield,2 and Philip R. Christensen2 Received 4 April 2006; revised 12 August 2006; accepted 13 September 2006; published 14 February 2007. [1] Martian low-albedo surfaces (defined here as surfaces with Mars Global Surveyor Thermal Emission Spectrometer (MGS-TES) albedo values 0.15) were reexamined for regional variations in spectral response. Low-albedo regions exhibit spatially coherent variations in spectral character, which in this work are grouped into 11 representative spectral shapes. The use of these spectral shapes in modeling global surface emissivity results in refined distributions of previously determined global spectral unit types (Surface Types 1 and 2). Pure Type 2 surfaces are less extensive than previously thought, and are mostly confined to the northern lowlands. Regional-scale spectral variations are present within areas previously mapped as Surface Type 1 or as a mixture of the two surface types, suggesting variations in mineral abundance among basaltic units. For example, Syrtis Major, which was the Surface Type 1 type locality, is spectrally distinct from terrains that were also previously mapped as Type 1. A spectral difference also exists between southern and northern Acidalia Planitia, which may be due in part to a small amount of dust cover in southern Acidalia. Groups of these spectral shapes can be averaged to produce spectra that are similar to Surface Types 1 and 2, indicating that the originally derived surface types are representative of the average of all low-albedo regions.

  • I Quaderni Del Castello
    Gruppo Amici della Storia Locale “Giuseppe Gerosa Brichetto” I QUADERNI DEL CASTELLO NUMERO 3 CONFERENZE AL CASTELLO DI PESCHIERA BORROMEO MAGGIO 2012 PRESENTAZIONE Ed eccoci al terzo appuntamento, con i Quaderni del Castello. In quanto tale, che questo numero 3 della Rivista sia “perfetto”, non osiamo crederlo, in ogni caso il giudizio complessivo spetta ai lettori, che ci auguriamo benevoli. Di certo, noi ce l’abbiamo messa tutta, per confezionarlo meglio che possiamo. Riguardo ai contenuti, la valutazione spetta appunto a chi legge; sulle caratteristiche tecniche, crediamo però non possano esserci dubbi, il progresso si vede subito: difatti, se fino all’anno scorso la pubblicazione veniva prodotta “in casa”, utilizzando personal computer e stampanti casalinghe, le presenti pagine sortiscono da una tipografia in piena regola, mentre per la fase di pre-stampa ci siamo avvalsi della competenza e della preziosa collaborazione dell’amico Roberto Casetta, che generosamente ha preparato il tutto, cosa di cui lo ringraziamo di cuore. Siamo grati altresì ai Conti Franco e Filippo Borromeo, che ci onorano del loro sostegno e con squisita cortesia ci ospitano una volta ancora nella splendida cornice del Castello di Peschiera Borromeo, per la presentazione in anteprima della pubblicazione, sotto forma di conferenze dei singoli Autori, i quali anticipano i testi di seguito riportati integralmente. Tra il Gruppo Amici della Storia Locale e la Famiglia Borromeo si è da tempo stabilita una virtuosa “corrispondenza d’amorosi sensi” che ha reso possibile, oltre che questa Rivista, l’organizzazione di memorabili giornate di visite al Castello, soddisfacendo la sete di bellezza di centinaia e centinaia di persone del Circondario, le quali hanno potuto così ammirare da vicino i tesori d’arte e di storia custoditi nella nobile dimora.

A non-sun-synchronous orbit of Planet-B with a large eccentricity of about 0.87 around Mars provides the opportunities (1) to observe the same region of Mars at various times of day and various solar phase angles with spatial resolution of about 60 m from a distance of 150 km altitude (at periapsis), and (2) to monitor changes of global atmospheric conditions on Mars near an apoapsis of 15 Mars radii. In addition, (3) several encounters of Planet-B with each of the two Martian satellites are scheduled during the mission lifetime of two years from October 1999 to observe their shapes and surface structures with three color filters, centered on 450, 550, and 650 nm.

  • The Sand Ships of Mars By: Jeffrey D
    The Sand Ships of Mars By: Jeffrey D. Beish (Rev. 12-19-2018) INTRODUCTION It was Ray Bradbury who wrote of the "Sand Ships of Mars" in his science fiction novel, The Martian Chronicles (Bradbury, 1950). One can imagine the fictional inhabitants of Mars trekking across its deserts in their floating machines stirring up huge dust devils. This great science fiction story set the stage for this author’s interest in Mars and who now writes about similar accounts of the real dusty whirlwinds on the Red Planet. [NOTE: see Mars Chart in Reference section for location names]. One of the most spectacular events to watch in our Solar System is the development of a major Martian dust storm. From Earth a Martian dust cloud may seem to be just a nuisance to any would-be telescopic explorer on that planet. However, if you consider the actual size of these clouds then you suddenly realize that many of them would cover entire western United States! Imagine if a Mars-sized planet-encircling dust storm would occur on Earth; it would blank out most of an entire Hemisphere! Some would-be Mars experts claim that after dust storms the dust settles quickly to the surface and reduces contrast of albedo features. This is contrary to the known facts; dust remains in the atmosphere of Mars for weeks -- at times months -- before settling to the surface [Pollack, 1989], [Kahn, 1992]. This dust is very fine particles of volcanic ash and when raised aloft during these storms they reach heights of several kilometers.

  • The Opposition of Mars, 1999
    The opposition of Mars, 1999 Richard McKim A report of the Mars Section (Director: R. J. McKim) The 1999 martian apparition was followed by BAA members while Mars Global Surveyor was monitoring the planet from martian orbit. The planet’s surface showed little change from 1997, indicating the absence of any great dust storm since solar conjunction. The long period of telescopic coverage enabled us to conclude that neither was there any planet-encircling storm in the southern martian spring or summer in 1999−2000. Three small telescopic storms were followed along the Valles Marineris, and two were seen at the edge of the summer N. polar cap. Dust storms commencing at the historically rarely-active Margaritifer Sinus emergence site (MGS data) point to ongoing changes in the fallout pattern of atmospheric dust. White cloud activity was high before and around opposition time − in northern midsummer − with morning and evening limb hazes, the equatorial cloud band (ECB) and orographic clouds. The ECB ‘season’ was identical to 1997, pointing to an equally low level of atmospheric dust-loading. Comparison with historical records suggests that the seasonal ‘wave of darkening’ may be partly attributable to the annual disappearance of the ECB. A ‘polar cyclone’ imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope between Mare Acidalium and the northern cap was followed over several days. The seasonal behaviour of the NPC, including its transition to the polar hood, was well observed. Its recession (observed from northern mid-spring) was a little slower than usual. The formation of the SPC from its winter hood, and its early recession, was also recorded.

  • The Medusae Fossae Formation As the Single Largest Source of Dust on Mars
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-05291-5 OPEN The Medusae Fossae Formation as the single largest source of dust on Mars Lujendra Ojha1, Kevin Lewis1, Suniti Karunatillake 2 & Mariek Schmidt3 Transport of fine-grained dust is one of the most widespread sedimentary processes occurring on Mars today. In the present climate, eolian abrasion and deflation of rocks are likely the most pervasive and active dust-forming mechanism. Martian dust is globally 1234567890():,; enriched in S and Cl and has a distinct mean S:Cl ratio. Here we identify a potential source region for Martian dust based on analysis of elemental abundance data. We show that a large sedimentary unit called the Medusae Fossae Formation (MFF) has the highest abundance of S and Cl, and provides the best chemical match to surface measurements of Martian dust. Based on volume estimates of the eroded materials from the MFF, along with the enrichment of elemental S and Cl, and overall geochemical similarity, we propose that long-term deflation of the MFF has significantly contributed to the global Martian dust reservoir. 1 Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21218, USA. 2 Department of Geology and Geophysics, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA 70803, USA. 3 Department of Earth Sciences, Brock University, St. Catharines, ON L2S 3A1, Canada.

Bandfield Department of Earth and Space Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195-1310, USA article info abstract Article history: Slopes are present in martian apparent surface emissivity observations collected by the Thermal Emission Received 29 December 2008 Spectrometer (TES) and the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS). These slopes are attributed Revised 20 March 2009 to misrepresenting the surface temperature, either through incorrect assumptions about the maximum Accepted 23 March 2009 emissivity of surface materials or the presumption of a uniform surface temperature within the field of Availableonline1April2009 view. These incorrect assumptions leave distinct characteristics in the resulting apparent emissivity data Keywords: that can be used to gain a better understanding of the surface properties. Surfaces with steep slopes Mars, surface typically have a variable surface temperatures within the field of view that cause distinct and highly Spectroscopy variable slopes in apparent emissivity spectra based on the observing conditions. These properties are Radiative transfer documented on the southwestern flank of Apollinaris Patera and can be reasonably approximated by modeled data. This spectral behavior is associated with extremely rough martian surfaces and includes surfaces south of Arsia Mons and near Warrego Valles that also appear to have high slopes in high resolution images. Surfaces with low maximum values of emissivity have apparent emissivity spectra with more consistent spectral slopes that do not vary greatly based on observing conditions. This spectral surface type is documented in Terra Serenum and is consistent with associated high resolution images that do not indicate the presence of a surface significantly rougher that the surrounding terrain.
