Abstract
► Microscopic images of Martian soil particles under UV illumination are analyzed. ► The UV luminescence quantum efficiency (QE) of soil particles is less than 0.04%. ► Expected luminescent materials are listed and luminescence search algorithms are presented. ► These studies prepare UV luminescence experiments onboard MSL (landing 6-Aug-2012).
