Exploration of Victoria Crater by the Mars Rover Opportunity (2009)

Squyres, S. W., Knoll, A. H., Arvidson, R. E., Ashley, J. W., Calvin, W. M., ...

The Mars rover Opportunity has explored Victoria crater, a ~750-meter eroded impact crater formed in sulfate-rich sedimentary rocks. Impact-related stratigraphy is preserved in the crater walls, and...

Spectral, mineralogical, and geochemical variations across Home Plate, Gusev Crater, Mars indicate high and low temperature alteration (2009)

Schmidt, M. E., Farrand, W. H., Johnson, J. R., Schröder, C., Hurowitz, J. A., McCoy, T. J., ...

Over the last ~ 3 years in Gusev Crater, Mars, the Spirit rover observed coherent variations in color, mineralogy, and geochemistry across Home Plate, an ~ 80 m-diameter outcrop of basaltic tephra....

MRO/CRISM Retrieval of Surface Lambert Albedos for Multispectral Mapping of Mars with DISORT-based Rad. Transfer Modeling: Phase 1 - Using Historical Climatology for Temperatures, Aerosol Opacities, & Atmo. Pressures (2009)

McGuire, P. C., Wolff, M. J., Smith, M. D., Arvidson, R. E., Murchie, S. L., Clancy, R. T., ...

We discuss the DISORT-based radiative transfer pipeline ('CRISM_LambertAlb') for atmospheric and thermal correction of MRO/CRISM data acquired in multispectral mapping mode (~200 m/pixel, 72 spectral...

Spirit Mars Rover Mission to the Columbia Hills, Gusev Crater: Mission overview and selected results from the Cumberland Ridge to Home Plate (2008)

Arvidson, R. E., Ruffins, S. W., Morris, R. V., Ming, D. W., Crumpler, L. S., Yen, A. S., ...

This paper summarizes the Spirit rover operations in the Columbia Hills of Gusev Crater from sols 513 to 1476 and provides an overview of selected findings that focus on synergistic use of the Athena...

Opaline silica in young deposits on Mars (2008)

Milliken, R. E., Swayze, G. A., Arvidson, R. E., Bishop, J. L., Clark, R. N., Ehlmann, B. L., ...

High spatial and spectral resolution reflectance data acquired by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) instrument reveal the presence of H_2O-...

Erosion rates at the Mars Exploration Rover landing sites and long-term climate change on Mars (2007)

Golombek, M. P., Grant, J. A., Crumpler, L. S., Greeley, R., Arvidson, R. E., Bell, J. F. III, ...

Erosion rates derived from the Gusev cratered plains and the erosion of weak sulfates by saltating sand at Meridiani Planum are so slow that they argue that the present dry and desiccating...

Assessment of Mars Exploration Rover landing site predictions. (2006)

Golombek, M. P., Arvidson, R. E., Bell, J. F. III, Christensen, P. R., Crisp, J. A., Crumpler, L. S., ...

Comprehensive analyses of remote sensing data during the three-year effort to select the Mars Exploration Rover landing sites at Gusev crater and at Meridiani Planum correctly predicted the...

Geology of the Gusec cratered plains from the Spirit rover transverse (2006)

Golombek, M. P., Crumpler, L. S., Grant, J. A., Greely, R., Cabrol, N. A., Parker, T. J., ...

The cratered plains of Gusev traversed by Spirit are generally low-relief rocky plains dominated by impact and eolian processes. Ubiquitous shallow, soil-filled, circular depressions, called hollows,...

Four-station interferometric radar observations of Mars Exploration Rover landing sites (2004)

Slade, M. A., Larsen, K. W., Arvidson, R. E., Jurgens, R. F., Haldemann, A. F., Margot, J. C.

The radar observations carried out on fourteen dates from May 2001 to July 2001 were designed to measure the surface properties of candidate landing sites for the Mars Exploration Rovers.
