Experimentally shock-induced melt veins in basalt: Improving the shock classification of eucrites

Haruka Ono, Kosuke Kurosawa, Takafumi Niihara +15

Basaltic rocks occur widely on the terrestrial planets and differentiated asteroids, including the asteroid 4 Vesta. We conducted a shock recovery experiment with decaying compress…

Assessment of the probability of microbial contamination for sample return from Martian moons II: The fate of microbes on Martian moons

Kosuke Kurosawa, Hidenori Genda, Ryuki Hyodo +5

This paper presents a case study of microbe transportation in the Mars-satellites system. We examined the spatial distribution of potential impact-transported microbes on the Marti…

Assessment of the probability of microbial contamination for sample return from Martian moons I: Departure of microbes from Martian surface

Kazuhisa Fujita, Kosuke Kurosawa, Hidenori Genda +5

Potential microbial contamination of Martian moons, Phobos and Deimos, which can be brought about by transportation of Mars ejecta produced by meteoroid impacts on the Martian surf…
