A global colour mosaic of Mars from Mars Express HRSC high altitude observations
G. G. Michael, D. Tirsch, K. -D. Matz +8
The ever-changing transparency of the Martian atmosphere hinders the determination of absolute surface colour from spacecraft images. While individual high-resolution images from l…
Estimating precipitation on early Mars using a radiative-convective model of the atmosphere and comparison with inferred runoff from geomorphology
P. von Paris, A. Petau, J. L. Grenfell +5
We compare estimates of atmospheric precipitation during the Martian Noachian-Hesperian boundary 3.8 Gyr ago as calculated in a radiative-convective column model of the atmosphere…
Dynamical phenomena in the Martian atmosphere through Mars Express imaging
A. Sánchez-Lavega, T. del RÃo-Gaztelurrutia, A. Spiga +5
This review describes the dynamic phenomena in the atmosphere of Mars that are visible in images taken in the visual range through cloud formation and dust lifting. We describe the…
Phobos photometric properties from Mars Express HRSC observations
S. Fornasier, A. Wargnier, P. H. Hasselmann +5
This study aims to analyze Phobos' photometric properties using Mars Express mission observations to support the Martian Moons eXploration mission. We analyzed resolved images of P…
Deimos photometric properties: analysis of 20 years of observations (2004-2024) by the Mars Express HRSC camera
A. Wargnier, P. N. Simon, S. Fornasier +6
The goal of this study is to analyze the photometric properties of Deimos using Mars Express (MEX) observations, to improve the photometric properties and provide new insights into…
An Extremely Elongated Cloud over Arsia Mons Volcano on Mars: I. Life Cycle
J. Hernández-Bernal, A. Sánchez-Lavega, T. del RÃo-Gaztelurrutia +12
We report a previously unnoticed annually repeating phenomenon consisting of the daily formation of an extremely elongated cloud extending as far as 1800 km westward from Arsia Mon…
