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