Clay minerals, or analogously phyllosilicates, are some of the most astonishing minerals
ever discovered on Mars due to their roles as indicators of water-rock interaction. Their …

The advent of radial velocity (RV) and transit photometry method has resulted in the
detection of more than 5000 exoplanets since 1995. Of these detected planets, a significant …

Obtaining carbon isotopic information for organic carbon from Martian sediments has long
been a goal of planetary science, as it has the potential to elucidate the origin of such …

Large volumes of liquid water transiently existed on the surface of Mars more than 3 billion
years ago. Much of this water is hypothesized to have been sequestered in the subsurface …

Mars' water history is fundamental to understanding Earth-like planet evolution. Water
escapes to space as atoms, and hydrogen atoms escape faster than deuterium giving an …

The Perseverance rover has collected seven oriented samples of sedimentary rocks, all
likely older than the oldest signs of widespread life on Earth, at the exposed base of the …

We report vertical profiles of water and D/H for one Martian year as measured with the
TGO/NOMAD instrument. The observations were performed via solar occultation, providing …

Since its deployment at the surface of Mars, the Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure
(SEIS) instrument of the InSight mission has detected hundreds of small‐magnitude seismic …

What was the nature of the Late Hesperian climate, warm and wet or cold and dry?
Formulated this way the question leads to an apparent paradox since both options seem …

Mars exploration motivates the search for extraterrestrial life, the development of space
technologies, and the design of human missions and habitations. Here, we seek new …
