چکیده انگلیسی
Mars was observed near the peak of the strongest SO2 band at 1364-1373 cmâ1 with resolving power of 77,000 using the Texas Echelon Cross Echelle Spectrograph on the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility. The observation covered the Tharsis volcano region which may be preferable to search for SO2. The spectrum shows absorption lines of three CO2 isotopomers and three H2O isotopomers. The water vapor abundance derived from the HDO lines assuming D/H = 5.5 times the terrestrial value is 12±1.0 pr.âμm, in agreement with the simultaneous MGS/TES observations of 14 pr.âμm at the latitudes (50° S to 10° N) of our observation. Summing of spectral intervals at the expected positions of sixteen SO2 lines puts a 2Ï upper limit on SO2 of 1 ppb. SO2 may be emitted into the martian atmosphere by seepage and is removed by three-body reactions with OH and O. The SO2 lifetime, 2 years, is longer than the global mixing time 0.5 year, so SO2 should be rather uniformly distributed across Mars. Seepage of SO2 is less than 15,000 tons per year on Mars which is smaller than the volcanic production of SO2 on the Earth by a factor of 700. Because CH4/SO2 is typically 10â4-10â3 in volcanic gases on the Earth, our results show seepage is unlikely to be the source of the recently discovered methane on Mars and therefore strengthen its biogenic origin.
