Abstract: Abstract The north polar cap (NPC) on Mars is the major reservoir of atmospheric water (H2O) currently on Mars. The retrieval and monitoring of atmospheric water vapor abundance are crucial for tracking the cycle of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2022gl099896
Abstract: Interpretation of radar sounder reflections to infer the structure and composition of the martian polar caps depends on whether bright returns correspond to single packed dust layers or a more finely layered structure. Reflections from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stac577
Abstract: We investigated the detailed plasma condition of the North Polar Spur (NPS)/Loop I using archival Suzaku data. In previous research collisional ionization equilibrium (CIE) have been assumed for X-ray plasma state, but we also assume… read more here.
