Volatile, Isotope, and Organic Analysis of Martian Fines with the Mars Curiosity Rover

TL;DR: Samples from the Rocknest aeolian deposit were heated to ~835°C under helium flow and evolved gases analyzed by Curiosity's Sample Analysis at Mars instrument suite, suggesting that oxygen is produced from thermal decomposition of an oxychloride compound.

TL;DR: Higher abundances of chlorinated hydrocarbons in the mudstone compared with Rocknest windblown materials previously analyzed by Curiosity suggest that indigenous martian or meteoritic organic carbon sources may be preserved in the Mudstone; however, the carbon source for the chlorinatedHydrocarbons is not definitively of martian origin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Organic molecules in the Sheepbed Mudstone, Gale Crater, Mars

TL;DR: Chlorinated hydrocarbons identified in the Sheepbed mudstone by SAM are the reaction products of Martian chlorine and organic carbon derived from Martian sources or exogenous sources such as meteorites, comets, or interplanetary dust particles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for perchlorates and the origin of chlorinated hydrocarbons detected by SAM at the Rocknest aeolian deposit in Gale Crater

TL;DR: A single scoop of the Rocknest aeolian deposit was sieved and four separate sample portions, each with a mass of ~50mg, were delivered to individual cups inside the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument by the Mars Science Laboratory rover's ample acquisition system.
