Transport of impact ejecta from Mars to its moons as a means to reveal Martian history
Ryuki Hyodo, Kosuke Kurosawa, Hidenori Genda +2
Throughout the history of the solar system, Mars has experienced continuous asteroidal impacts. These impacts have produced impact-generated Mars ejecta, and a fraction of this deb…
Crater-ray formation through mutual collisions of hypervelocity-impact induced ejecta particles
Toshihiko Kadono, Ayako I. Suzuki, Rintaro Matsumura +4
We investigate the patterns observed in ejecta curtain induced by hypervelocity impact (2-6 km/s) with a variety of the size and shape of target particles. We characterize the patt…
Enhancement of impact heating in pressure-strengthened rocks in oblique impacts
Shigeru Wakita, Hidenori Genda, Kosuke Kurosawa +1
Shock-induced metamorphism in meteorites informs us about the collisional environment and history of our solar system. Recently the importance of material strength in impact heatin…
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…
Shock vaporization/devolatilization of evaporitic minerals, halite and gypsum, in an open system investigated by a two-stage light gas gun
Kosuke Kurosawa, Ryota Moriwaki, Goro Komatsu +4
Dry lakebeds might constitute large volatile reservoirs on Mars. Hypervelocity impacts onto ancient dry lakebeds would have affected the volatile distribution on Mars. We developed…
