Distribution of Hydrogen in the Near-Surface of Mars: Evidence for Subsurface Ice Deposits
William V. Boynton,W. C. Feldman,S. W. Squyres,Thomas H. Prettyman,J. Brückner,Larry G. Evans,R. C. Reedy,R. C. Reedy,R. D. Starr,James R. Arnold,D. M. Drake,P. Englert,Albert E. Metzger,I. G. Mitrofanov,Jacob I. Trombka,Claude d’Uston,Heinrich Wänke,Olivier Gasnault,D. K. Hamara,Daniel M. Janes,Robert L. Marcialis,Sylvestre Maurice,I. Mikheeva,G. J. Taylor,R. L. Tokar,C.

TL;DR: The Gamma-Ray Spectrometer on the Mars Odyssey has identified two regions near the poles that are enriched in hydrogen, and it is suggested that the host of the hydrogen in the subsurface layer is ice, which constitutes 35 ± 15% of the layer by weight.
Journal ArticleDOI

William V. Boynton,G. J. Taylor,Larry G. Evans,Robert C. Reedy,R. D. Starr,Daniel M. Janes,K. Kerry,D. M. Drake,Kyeong Ja Kim,Kyeong Ja Kim,R. M. S. Williams,M. K. Crombie,James M. Dohm,Victor R. Baker,Albert E. Metzger,Suniti Karunatillake,John Keller,John Keller,Horton E. Newsom,James R. Arnold,J. Brückner,P. A. J. Englert,Olivier Gasnault,Ann L. Sprague,I. G. Mitrofanov,S. W. Squyres,Jacob I. Trombka,L. C. d'Uston,Heinrich Wänke,D. K. Hamara +29 more
TL;DR: The Gamma Ray Spectrometer (GRS) on board the 2001 Mars Odyssey Mission for ±∼45° latitudes was used to determine the concentrations of H, Si, Cl, K, Fe, and Th.
Journal ArticleDOI
The matrices of unequilibrated ordinary chondrites: Implications for the origin and history of chondrites
TL;DR: The fine-grained, opaque, silicate matrix of type 3 unequilibrated chondrites was examined by optical microscopy, an electron microprobe, and a scanning electron microscope as mentioned in this paper.
Origin of the Earth and Moon
TL;DR: The giant impact hypothesis for the Moon's origin still holds center stage as discussed by the authors, which suggests that the Moon formed as the result of a colossal impact onto the accumulating Earth, heating it and flinging the raw ingredients for the moon into orbit around the Earth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Equatorial and midlatitude distribution of chlorine measured by Mars Odyssey GRS
John Keller,William V. Boynton,Suniti Karunatillake,Victor R. Baker,James M. Dohm,Larry G. Evans,Michael Finch,B. C. Hahn,D. K. Hamara,Daniel M. Janes,K. Kerry,Horton E. Newsom,Robert C. Reedy,Ann L. Sprague,S. W. Squyres,R. D. Starr,G. J. Taylor,R. M. S. Williams +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss four possible geologic mechanisms (aeolian, volcanic, aqueous, and hydrothermal) that may have affected the Cl distribution seen by GRS.
