Abstract:Evidence of past liquid water flowing on the surface of Mars has been identified since the first orbital mission to the planet. However, reconstructing the climate that would allow liquid water at the surface is still an intense area of research. Previous studies showed that an atmosphere composed only of CO2 and H2O could not sustain surface temperatures above the freezing point of water. Different solutions have been studied, ranging from events like impacts on different atmospheric compositions, or even rad… Show more
