Planetary Terrestrial Analogues Library Project: 3. Characterization of Samples with MicrOmega
Loizeau Damien, Pilorget Cédric, Poulet François +8
The PTAL (Planetary Terrestrial Analogues Library) project aims at building and exploiting a database involving several analytical techniques, to help characterizing the mineralogi…
The M3 project: 2 -- Global distributions of mafic mineral abundances on Mars
Lucie Riu, François Poulet, Jean-Pierre Bibring +1
A radiative transfer model was used to reproduce several millions of OMEGA (Observatoire pour la Minéralogie, l'Eau, les Glaces et l'Activité) spectra representative of igneous ter…
The M3 project: 1- A global hyperspectral image-cube of the Martian surface
Lucie Riu, François Poulet, John Carter +3
This paper is the first paper of a series that will present the derivation of the modal mineralogy of Mars (M3 project) at a global scale from the near-infrared dataset acquired by…
Martian cloud climatology and life cycle extracted from Mars Express OMEGA spectral images
André Szantai, Joachim Audouard, Francois Forget +7
We extracted a Martian water-ice cloud climatology from OMEGA data covering 7 Martian years (MY 26-32). We derived two products, the Reversed Ice Cloud Index (ICIR) and the Percent…
Close-up images of the final Philae landing site on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko acquired by the ROLIS camera
S. E. Schröder, S. Mottola, G. Arnold +11
After coming to rest on the night side of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, the ROLIS camera on-board Rosetta's Philae lander acquired five images of the surface below the lander, f…
Water in the Martian regolith from OMEGA/Mars Express
Joachim Audouard, François Poulet, Mathieu Vincendon +5
Here we discuss one of the current reservoirs of water on Mars, the regolith and rocks exposed at the surface. This reservoir is characterized by the presence of H_{2}O- and OH- be…
Yearly and seasonal variations of low albedo surfaces on Mars in the OMEGA/MEx dataset: Constraints on aerosols properties and dust deposits
Mathieu Vincendon, Yves Langevin, François Poulet +5
The time variations of spectral properties of dark martian surface features are investigated using the OMEGA near-IR dataset. The analyzed period covers two Mars years, spanning fr…
Dust aerosols above the south polar cap of Mars as seen by OMEGA
Mathieu Vincendon, Yves Langevin, François Poulet +4
The time evolution of atmospheric dust at high southern latitudes on Mars has been determined using observations of the south seasonal cap acquired in the near infrared (1-2.65 μm)…
Recovery of surface reflectance spectra and evaluation of the optical depth of aerosols in the near-IR using a Monte-Carlo approach: Application to the OMEGA observations of high latitude regions of Mars
Mathieu Vincendon, Yves Langevin, François Poulet +2
We present a model of radiative transfer through atmospheric particles based on Monte Carlo methods. This model can be used to analyze and remove the contribution of aerosols in re…
Near-tropical subsurface ice on Mars
Mathieu Vincendon, John Mustard, François Forget +4
Near-surface perennial water ice on Mars has been previously inferred down to latitudes of about 45° and could result from either water vapor diffusion through the regolith under c…
New near-IR observations of mesospheric CO2 and H2O clouds on Mars
Mathieu Vincendon, Cedric Pilorget, Brigitte Gondet +2
Carbon dioxide clouds, which are speculated by models on solar and extra-solar planets, have been recently observed near the equator of Mars. The most comprehensive identification…
Sublimation of the Martian CO2 Seasonal South Polar Cap
Frederic Schmidt, Bernard Schmitt, Sylvain Doute +6
The polar condensation/sublimation of CO2, that involve about one fourth of the atmosphere mass, is the major Martian climatic cycle. Early observations in visible and thermal infr…
