Carbon Dioxide Clathrate in the Martian Ice Cap
Abstract
Measurements of the dissociation pressure of carbon dioxide hydrate show that this hydrate (CO 2 ⋅ 6H 2 O) is stable relative to solid CO 2 and water ice at temperatures above about 121°K. Since this hydrate forms from finely divided ice and gaseous CO 2 in several hours at 150°K, it is likely to be present in the martian ice cap. The ice cap can consist of water ice, water ice + CO 2 hydrate, or CO 2 hydrate + solid CO 2 , but not water ice + solid CO 2 .

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.
