TL;DR: The goal of this work is to provide an understanding of the technical choices made, the constraints that were imposed, and ultimately the validated performance of the flight model as it leaves Earth, and it will serve as the foundation for Mars operations and future processing of the data.

TL;DR: The SuperCam body unit (BU) of the Mars 2020 rover as mentioned in this paper was designed to receive light from the mast unit via a 5.8 m opti-cal fiber and the light is split into three wavelength bands by a demultiplexer, and routed via fiber bundles to three optical spectrometers, two of which (UV and violet; 245-340 and 385-465 nm) are crossed Czerny-Turner reflection spectrometer, nearly identical to their counterparts on ChemCam.

TL;DR: The Scanning Habitable Environments with Raman and Luminescence for Organics and Chemicals (SHERLOC) is a robotic arm-mounted instrument on NASA's Perseverance rover as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: A novel method to detect cosmic rays in deep ultraviolet Raman hyperspectral data sets adapted from existing cosmic ray removal methods applied to astronomical images, which identifies cosmic rays as outliers in the distribution of intensity values in each wavelength channel.

TL;DR: The Compact Advanced Readout Electronics for Elpasolites (CAREE) as discussed by the authors is a handheld instrument that employs a multi-channel PSD-capable ASIC, custom micro-processor board, front-end electronics, power supplies, and a 2-in. photomultiplier tube for readout of the scintillator.
