Despite many papers on small Martian cones, the mechanism of their formation is not unequivocally explained, nor the reason for their arrangement in subparallel chains. In this paper, we test a few hypotheses stating that most of the cones under consideration are the result of outgassing Martian regolith when atmospheric pressure has become too low for liquid water to be stable. This mechanism explains the existence of a series of cones outside of the main volcanic zones in the vast lowlands of Mars. Magma heating might be another factor, but our calculations show that its role was often rather limited. Some of the cones may be rootless cones. Subparallel chains of cones might be formed above several types of linear subparallel structures: e.g., outcrops of aquifers, linear outcrops, fissures resulting during landslides, linear heat sources, etc. We also found that thermal advection (i.e. gas or liquid flow) could transport heat from deep aquifers to shallow aquifers. It could enabled rapid loss of volatiles. Our research on the cycloidal structure indicates that it is an outcrop of a layer that probably extends under several hills. Moreover, our preliminary research points that similar processes may have taken place in other regions of Chryse Planitia. This conclusion is based on the observation of similar structures, e.g., cones, chains of cones, arcs of outcrops, etc. in the region. LA - English DB - MTMT ER - TY - JOUR AU - Grott, M.

Six measurements spanning solar longitudes from 8.0 degrees to 210.0 degrees were made and atmospheric pressure at the site was simultaneously measured using InSight's Pressure Sensor. We find that soil thermal conductivity strongly correlates with atmospheric pressure. This trend is compatible with predictions of the pressure dependence of thermal conductivity for unconsolidated soils under martian atmospheric conditions, indicating that heat transport through the pore filling gas is a major contributor to the total heat transport. Therefore, any cementation or induration of the soil sampled by the experiments must be minimal and soil surrounding the mole at depths below the duricrust is likely unconsolidated. Thermal conductivity data presented here are the first direct evidence that the atmosphere interacts with the top most meter of material on Mars.

Such repeated seepages of brine could generate characteristic geomorphic features on Mars; however, the dynamics of repeated brine flows have been little investigated. Here we report results of laboratory experiments that investigate the flow behavior of brine (MgCl2 solution) upon repeated cycles of seepage and drying in glass beads on slopes. We compare the flow behavior with those of ultrapure water and ethylene glycol. We found that at a low flow rate, comparable to ice melting on Mars, both ultrapure water and ethylene glycol infiltrate radially into glass beads as infiltration flows. In contrast, even at a low flow rate, surface flows appear due to repeated seepages of MgCl2 solution. The surface flows move downward on slopes, forming elongated flow features. This happens because a decrease in the porosity and permeability of the glass beads caused by precipitated salts prevents infiltration in subsequent brine seepages. We suggest that precipitated salts have a role in the formation of transient surface flows on Mars, even at low seepage rates. LA - English DB - MTMT ER - TY - JOUR AU - Monajjemi, M.

The main goal of the campaign was to study in situ the impact of the dust devils (DDs) on the observations made by the radiometer Radiation and Dust Sensor (RDS), which is part of the Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer instrument, on board NASA's Mars 2020 Perseverance rover. Several DDs and dust lifting events caused by non-vortex wind gusts were detected using the RDS, and the different impacts of these events were analyzed in the observations. DD diameter, advection velocity, and trajectory were derived from the RDS observations, and then, panoramic videos of such events were used to validate these results. The instrument signal variations produced by dust lifting (by vortices or wind gusts) in Makgadikgadi Pans are similar to those observed on Mars with the RDS, showing the potential of this location as a Martian DD analog.

However, so far, it has only been found in liquid state on this planetary surface. The aim of this experiment and technological development was to test if a moss sample is capable of surviving in Martian conditions. We built a system that simulates the environmental conditions of the red planet including its hydrological cycle. This laboratory facility enables us to control the water cycle in its three phases through temperature, relative humidity, hydration, and pressure with a system that injects water droplets into a vacuum chamber. We successfully simulated the daytime and nighttime of Mars by recreating water condensation and created a layer of superficial ice that protects the sample against external radiation and minimizes the loss of humidity due to evaporation to maintain a moss sample in survival conditions in this extreme environment. We performed the simulations with the design and development of different tools that recreate Martian weather in the MARTE simulation chamber.
