Abstract

For in-situ geochemical analysis of the surface of Mars, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a very useful technique and the first extraterrestrial LIBS instrument ChemCam will soon be followed by others. Appropriate normalization of real mission data that is taken under varying experimental and environmental conditions from diverse geologic samples is an ongoing topic. One approach is the scaling to emission line intensities of carbon and oxygen from the CO2-dominated low-pressure martian atmosphere as an internal standard. Here, we performed several experiments to examine the emission of carbon and oxygen from a simulated martian atmosphere on simple, mostly mono-elemental samples, and to compare the emission characteristics of the elements of both origins. Differences in laser irradiance were found to have the biggest impact on sample emission lines scaled to C and O emission of the atmosphere. The temporal behavior shown in time-resolved LIBS measurements is dominated by the degree of ionization, but the ratio of the neutral emission from the sample to neutral emission from the atmosphere also varies over time. The effect of different grain sizes was minor in comparison to the high intrinsic variation in the LIBS data. Different samples were found to affect the absolute intensity of atmospheric C(I) more than O(I). Furthermore, the C(I) emission was found to be inseparably superimposed by iron if the latter was present in the target. The results indicate limitations of the general suitability of atmospheric carbon and oxygen emission for normalization purposes of martian LIBS data.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
