Mars: Spectroscopy, Water

Scientific paper

We describe here the preliminary results of observations obtained during the very favourable opposition of August 2003 using the UIST instrument on the United Kingdom Infrared Telescpe (UKIRT) on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. Infrared spectral scans of the disk were obtained at a range of near-IR wavelengths and resolving powers. The observations cover wavelengths, which include absorption features due to a range of potential surface minerals, H2O and CO2 ice, and atmospheric gases including CO2 and a number of trace gases. Such observations can be used to search for evidence of the past presence fo surface water, and to measure atmospheric properties.
