ABSTRACT

Water likely flowed across ancient Mars, but whether it ever exists as a liquid on the surface today remains debatable. Recurring slope lineae (RSL) are narrow (0.5-5 m), relatively dark markings on steep (25°-40°) slopes; repeat MRO/HiRISE images show them to appear and incrementally grow during warm seasons and fade in cold seasons. They extend downslope from bedrock outcrops, often associated with small channels, and hundreds of them form in rare locations. RSL appear and lengthen in the late southern spring/summer from 48°S to 32°S latitudes favoring equator-facing slopes--times and places with peak surface temperatures from ~250-300 K. Liquid brines near the surface might explain this activity, but the exact mechanism and source of water are not understood.

Lithology: Fine-grained, moderately sorted sedimentary rock likely deposited in a lacustrine setting; a sulfate-bearing fine sandstone. The rock is rich in weakly-hydrated Mg-Fe sulfate. Small amounts of FeMg-clay minerals, possible carbonates, and hydrated silica or Al-clay minerals were also detected. The rock is cut by scattered veins and patches of Ca sulfate, likely anhydrite, whereas the sulfate in the rock matrix is more magnesian. Fluorescence signals are consistent with a mix of aromatic compounds, and are associated with the calcium sulfate patches.
