Before Perseverance, Jezero crater's floor was variably hypothesized to have a lacustrine, lava, volcanic airfall, or aeolian origin. SuperCam observations in the first 286 Mars days on Mars revealed a volcanic and intrusive terrain with compositional and density stratification.The dominant lithology along the traverse is basaltic, with plagioclase enrichment in stratigraphically higher locations. Stratigraphically lower, layered rocks are richer in normative pyroxene. The lowest observed unit has the highest inferred density and is olivine-rich with coarse (1.5 millimeters) euhedral, relatively unweathered grains, suggesting a cumulate origin. This is the first martian cumulate and shows similarities to martian meteorites, which also express olivine disequilibrium. Alteration materials including carbonates, sulfates, perchlorates, hydrated silicates, and iron oxides are pervasive but low in abundance, suggesting relatively brief lacustrine conditions. Orbital observations link the Jezero floor lithology to the broader Nili-Syrtis region, suggesting that density-driven compositional stratification is a regional characteristic.

Mars northern polar latitudes are known to harbor an enhanced 3 ${\mu}$m spectral signature when observed from orbit. This may indicate a greater amount of surface adsorbed or bound water, although it has not yet been possible to easily reconcile orbital observations with ground measurements by Phoenix. Here we re-analyzed OMEGA/Mars Express observations acquired during the Northern summer to further characterize this 3 ${\mu}$m absorption band increase. We identify the presence of a new specific spectral signature composed of an additional narrow absorption feature centered at 3.03 ${\mu}$m coupled with an absorption at ${\lambda}$ ${\geq}$ 3.8 ${\mu}$m. This signature is homogeneously distributed over a high-albedo open ring surrounding the circumpolar low-albedo terrains between ~ 68{\deg}N and 76{\deg}N and ~ 0{\deg}E and 270{\deg}E. This location includes the Phoenix landing site. This feature shows no time variability and can be confidently attributed to a seasonally stable surface component. All together, the stability, spectral shape and absence of significant correlation with other signatures in the 1 $-$ 2.5 ${\mu}$m range discard interpretations relying on water ice or easily exchangeable adsorbed water. Sulfates, notably anhydrite, provide interesting comparisons to several sections of the spectrum. Analogies with Earth samples also show that the spectral signature could result from a latitudinal modification of the hydration state and/or grains size of salts contaminants. While the exact full spectral shape cannot be easily reproduced, plausible explanations to this observation seem to involve geologically recent water alteration at high northern latitudes., Comment: Submitted to Icarus

The deuterium to hydrogen (D/H) ratio is commonly used to investigate the history of water on Mars, yet the mechanisms controlling present‐day HDO behavior are poorly understood. Significant variations of the D/H ratio were first predicted on the basis of a 3D global climate model, which were later confirmed by ground‐based observations. This behavior, consisting of lower HDO/H2O ratios in the colder regions of Mars, is related to the isotopic fractionation occurring at condensation. We leverage this previous effort and present an updated implementation, using the modern version of the model, that remains in agreement with the older version. We explore the impact of the global dust storm (GDS) that occurred during Martian year 34 (MY34) on HDO. Our simulations indicate that HDO is on average 40% more abundant at 100 km during the MY34 GDS year than during a regular year, with likely large consequences for the escape flux of water that year. Plain Language Summary: HDO, the semi‐heavy isotope of water, when compared to water, is a good indicator of how much water has been escaping from the atmosphere of Mars over the ages. Ultimately, it can be used to estimate the past reservoir of water available on Mars in its early youth. Because HDO has a slightly higher molecular mass compared to H2O, condensation induces an enrichment of HDO in the ice phase compared with the vapor phase. This subsequently causes spatial and temporal variations of the deuterium to hydrogen ratio. We use a global circulation model to simulate the HDO cycle in the atmosphere. Our model is an upgrade of the previous model presented in Montmessin et al. (2005, Journal of Geophysical Research, 110(E3), E10004. doi:10.1029/2004JE002357). We then simulate the effect of the global dust storm that affected Mars during the summer of 2018, and show that it should have had a strong impact on the vertical distribution of HDO, allowing it to reach higher altitudes. Such simulations are intended to be compared with observations from the Trace Gas Orbiter, currently in orbit around Mars. Key Points: We reimplemented the HDO cycle in a more recent version of the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique Mars global climate modelWe reproduce the observed gradient of the deuterium to hydrogen ratio between cold and warm regionsThe global dust storm of Martian year 34 has a strong effect on the vertical distribution of HDO [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

International audience; Analysis of a 2009-2016 set of MRO CRISM limb observations and contemporaneous MCS and MARCI observations yields a new and uniquely comprehensive characterization of dust and ice aerosol distributions and physical characteristics in the Mars mesosphere (50-100 km). Key conclusions are: [1] very distinct aphelion (Ls=0-160º) and perihelion (Ls=160-360º) aerosol populations, in which low latitude CO2 clouds at 60-70 km altitudes dominate the aphelion mesosphere and H2O ice clouds at 50-75 km altitudes dominate the perihelion mesosphere; [2] mesospheric H2O clouds composed of small particle sizes (Reff=0.2 μm) and CO2 cloud particles exhibiting a very broad range of particle sizes (Reff=0.3-2.5 μm) with small particle sizes prominent at the latitude/altitude boundaries of mesospheric CO2 cloud formation; [3] infrequent mesospheric dust aerosols in these non-planet encircling dust storm years with small particle sizes (Reff=0.3-0.6 μm); [4] MCS temperature measurements indicating saturation conditions in the vicinity of mesospheric ice aerosols and enhanced solar heating in the presence of dust aerosols; [5] very narrow CO2 particle size distributions (Veff=0.01-0.03) indicative of iridescence and rapid, uniform cloud nucleation; [6] MCS-CRISM comparisons indicating comparable daytime (3pm) CO2 cloud particle sizes but also MCS nighttime (3am) measurements indicating pervasive low latitude mesospheric CO2 clouds at lower altitudes (55-65 km) and with larger particle sizes (Reff=4-6 μm); [7] MARCI imaging of mesospheric ice clouds displaying wave forms indicative of gravity-wave forcing; and [8] strong indications that cloud nucleation centers, whatever they may be, are not lacking in Mars' mesosphere.

Mars Express remains one of ESA's most scientifically productive missions whose publication record now exceeds 1000 papers. Characterization of geological processes on a local-to-regional scale by HRSC, OMEGA and partner experiments on NASA spacecraft has allowed constraining land-forming processes in space and time. Recent results suggest episodic geological activity as well as the presence of large bodies of liquid water in several provinces (e.g. Eridania Planum, Terra Chimeria) in the early and middle Amazonian epoch and formation of vast sedimentary plains north of the Hellas basin. Mars Express observations and experimental teams provided an essential contribution to the selection of the Mars-2020 landing sites. More than a decade-long record of atmospheric parameters such as temperature, dust loading, water vapor and ozone abundance, water ice and CO2 clouds distribution, collected by SPICAM, PFS and OMEGA spectrometers as well as subsequent modeling have provided key contributions to our understanding of the martian climate. The ASPERA-3 observations of ion escape covering a complete solar cycle have revealed important dependencies of the atmospheric erosion rate on parameters of the solar wind and EUV flux. Structure of the ionosphere sounded by the MARSIS radar and the MaRS radio science experiment was found to be significantly affected by the solar activity, the crustal magnetic field, as well as by the influx of meteorite and cometary dust. MARSIS and ASPERA-3 observations suggest that the sunlit ionosphere over the regions with strong crustal fields is denser and extends to higher altitudes as compared to the regions with no crustal anomalies. The ionospheric plasma expands to higher altitudes where it contacts with the solar wind plasma. Reconnection of solar magnetic field lines carried by the solar wind with field lines of crustal origin opens channels through which the ionospheric plasma escapes to space, producing strong and narrow cavities in the density. The situation is very different on the night side where the ionosphere has a patchy structure. Such patchy ionizations are observed in the regions where crustal field lines have a dominant vertical component. Through these patches the ionospheric plasma from the dayside penetrates and supplies the nightside ionosphere. Mars Express has fully accomplished its objectives set for 2015-2016. The mission provides unique observation capabilities amongst the flotilla of spacecraft investigating Mars. The mission has been confirmed till the end of 2018. The science case for the mission extension until the end of 2020 has been submitted. The observation program proposed for 2019-2020 includes both augmenting the coverage and extending long-time series, as well as new elements and potentially new opportunities for discoveries. It will be boosted by collaboration and synergies with NASA's MAVEN, ESA-Roscosmos ExoMars-2016 Trace Gas Orbiter and other missions. The talk will give the mission status, review the recent science highlights, and outline future plans.

The capability to orient Mars Express makes it possible to implement a great diversity of observations modes, in particular nadir and limb (fig 1). During day and night limb’s observations, 4 out of 7 MEX instruments (the spectrometers: SPICAM[1], OMEGA [2], PFS [3] and the high-resolution camera HRSC [4]) work together to provide spectra (.12 μm to 45 μm) of the Martian atmosphere (dust and clouds detached layers, day and night emissions), at each altitude step, with the associated image. Until now, the data reduction of observations of the limb from each Mars Express instrument had been done separately. Examples of the potential of each data set are given in Figures 2,3,4,5). We present here a database which makes it possible to retrieve the limb observations from different Mars Express instruments relevant for a given location and time frame. The limb database is now accessible to the scientific community via the ESA/PSA website (www.rssd.esa.int/PSA). The cross-linking of observations of clouds and detached dust layers in the Martian atmosphere at different wavelengths as provided by the “limbs” database in the ESA Mex archive should constitute a useful reference for interpreting each data set and modeling processes in the upper atmosphere of Mars.

Abstract: In September 2017, an active region of the Sun produced a series of strong flares and a coronal mass ejection that swept past Mars producing enhanced ionization and heating in the upper atmosphere. Emissions from atmospheric hydrogen Lyman‐α were also enhanced at Mars. Temperatures derived from neutral species scale heights were used in conjunction with the H Lyman‐α observations to simulate the effects of this space weather event on Martian hydrogen properties in the exosphere. It was found that hydrogen abundance in the upper atmosphere decreased by ~25% and that the H escape rate increased by a factor of 5, mainly through an increase in upper atmospheric temperature. This significant escape rate variation is comparable to seasonally observed trends but occurred at much shorter timescales. Such solar events would statistically impact extrapolation of Martian water loss over time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
