Abstract

Onboard the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity rover, the ChemCam instrument consists of :(1) a Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectrometer (LIBS) for elemental analysis of the targets [1;2] and (2) a Remote Micro Imager (RMI), for the imaging context of laser analysis [3]. Within the Gale crater, Curiosity traveled from Bradbury Landing through the Rocknest region and into Yellowknife Bay (YB). In the latter, abundant light-toned fracture-fill material were seen [4;5]. ChemCam analysis demonstrate that those fracture fills consist of calcium sulfates [6].

Abstract

The joint NASA-ESA-ASI Cassini-Huygens mission reached the saturnian system on July 1st 2004. It started the observations of Saturn s environment including its atmosphere, rings, and satellites (Phoebe, Iapetus and Titan). Titan, one of the primary scientific interests of the mission, is veiled by an ubiquitous thick haze. Its surface cannot be seen in the visible but as the haze effects decrease with increasing wavelength, there is signal in the infrared atmospheric windows if no clouds are present. Onboard the Cassini spacecraft, the VIMS instrument (Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer) is expected to pierce the veil of the hazy moon and successfully image its surface in the infrared wavelengths, taking hyperspectral images in the range 0.4 to 5.2 micron. On 26 October (TA) and 13 December 2004 (TB), the Cassini-Huygens mission flew over Titan at an altitude lower than 1200 km at closest approach. VIMS acquired several tens of image cubes with spatial resolution ranging from a few tens of kilometers down to 1.5 kilometer per pixel, demonstrating its capability for studying Titan s geology.

Abstract

Since its insertion in Saturn’s environment in July 2004, the Cassini spacecraft has realized 20 Titan flybys. Three instruments can see through the haze: the ISS camera thanks to the infrared channel, the SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) and the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) [1]. During the first flyby, the VIMS showed its great potential to map and to characterize Titan’s surface despite scattering by haze particles and strong absorption of light by methane contained in the atmosphere [2]. Six infrared windows provide images of Titan’s surface and its spectral properties. At closest approach, the spatial resolution can be as good as 250 m/pixel, a resolution similar to that of the radar swaths. Because the VIMS capabilities were unexpected before the first observations, the VIMS had never been the prime instrument at closest approach before the T20 flyby that happened on 24 October 2006. This paper reports on the findings of this flyby.

Abstract

[1] Starting from the recent discovery of chlorine ions in Io's plasma torus, we searched for evidence of Cl-bearing species at the surface of the satellite. We have identified Cl2SO2, with possible contribution by ClSO2, as candidates for the absorber(s) of the 3.92 μm band locally present in NIMS/Galileo spectra of the reddish deposits south of Marduk's volcanic center. Low-temperature laboratory measurements of the infrared spectra of several Cl and S-bearing molecules in the solid state, coupled with radiative transfer modeling, first allowed us to select four candidate molecules. Their abundance and stability at Io's surface have been tested through formation, condensation, and destruction scenarios using volcanic and atmospheric models completed with chemical and thermodynamical data. In particular, the sublimation rates of solid Cl2SO2 and SO2 have been measured to study the selective condensation of these species. Cl2SO2 diluted at ∼1% in a millimeter thick layer of solid SO2 is the favorite candidate for the 3.92 μm band. We strongly favor a formation process of this molecule by heterogeneous reaction of Cl atoms on SO2 ice condensing on plume particles or at Io's surface. The high Cl2SO2 abundance observed implies that a Cl-rich volcanic eruption ([Cl − (Na + K)]/S > 0.015) occurred at Marduk. ClSO2 is a potential additional contributor to the band. Pure H2S is safely discarded as it is extremely unstable at Io's surface but an upper limit of 0.01% is derived for H2S diluted in SO2. Finally, chemical constraints allow us to firmly exclude H2S2. We also suggest that Cl2S may be an alternative explanation for the reddish coloration of some volcanic deposits.
