Detection of Methane in the Atmosphere of Mars

We report a detection of methane in the martian atmosphere by the Planetary Fourier Spectrometer onboard the Mars Express spacecraft. The global average methane mixing ratio is found to be 10 ± 5…

Independent confirmation of a methane spike on Mars and a source region east of Gale Crater

Reports of methane detection in the Martian atmosphere have been intensely debated. The presence of methane could enhance habitability and may even be a signature of life. However, no detection has…

Martian dust storm impact on atmospheric H2O and D/H observed by ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter

The observed changes in H2O and HDO abundance occurred within a few days during the development of the dust storm, suggesting a fast impact of dust storms on the Martian atmosphere.
