A major objective of the Mars 2020 mission is to sample rocks in Jezero crater that may
preserve organic matter for later return to Earth. Using an ultraviolet Raman and …

Abstract The Mars 2020 Perseverance rover has explored fluvio‐lacustrine sedimentary
rocks within Jezero crater. Prior work showed that igneous crater floor Séítah and Máaz …

One way in which we can attempt to relate chemical pathways to geochemical environments
is by studying the kinetics of a given sequence of reactions and identifying the conditions …

Gypsum is a common mineral at Gale crater on Mars, currently being explored by the Mars
Science Laboratory (MSL) rover, Curiosity. In this paper, we summarize the associations of …

In this work, we derive a simple method for calibrating Raman bandwidths for the Scanning
Habitable Environments with Raman and Luminescence for Organics and Chemicals …

Abstract The Mars Sample Return mission intends to retrieve a sealed collection of rocks,
regolith, and atmosphere sampled from Jezero Crater, Mars, by the NASA Perseverance …

Perseverance traversed the eastern, northern, and western margins of the Séítah formation
inlier on the rover's western fan front approach. Mapping the stratigraphy and extent of the …

Due to their fast precipitation rate, sulfate evaporites represent excellent repositories of past
life on Earth and potentially on other solid planets. Nevertheless, the preservation potential …

Organic matter on planets is often co-deposited with evaporites, and evaporation of lakes in
the Jezero region of Mars may have led to the deposition of abundant organic matter and …
