摘要:

火星大气中的氖(Ne)已被维京号探测到,也被发现为火星陨石中的捕获气体,尽管其丰度和同位素组成尚未得到很好的确定。由于从MAVEN最近的测量估计的Ne通过大气逃逸损失的时间尺度很短(0.6- 1 $\times$ 10 $^8$年),火星大气Ne的丰度和同位素组成反映了最近的大气气体供应主要来自火山脱气。因此,它可以作为内部挥发物含量的探针。在这里,我们表明,暂时知情的大气氖丰度表明最近的活火山活动和地幔更丰富的Ne比地球的地幔今天超过5- 80倍。地幔Ne丰度的估计需要有效的太阳星云气体捕获或吸积的Ne丰富的材料,如太阳风注入的灰尘在行星形成阶段,这两个提供了重要的限制在内部的其他挥发性元素的丰度和火星的吸积历史。通过原位分析或火星样品返回更精确地确定大气中Ne丰度和同位素组成对于区分Ne的可能来源至关重要。

英文摘要:

Martian atmospheric neon (Ne) has been detected by Viking and also found as trapped gas in Martian meteorites, though its abundance and isotopic composition have not been well determined. Because the timescale of Ne loss via atmospheric escape estimated from recent measurements with MAVEN is short (0.6--1 $\times$ 10$^8$ years), the abundance and isotope composition of Martian atmospheric Ne reflect recent atmospheric gas supply mostly from volcanic degassing. Thus, it can serve as a probe for the volatile content of the interior. Here we show that the tentatively-informed atmospheric Ne abundance suggests recent active volcanism and the mantle being richer in Ne than Earth's mantle today by more than a factor of 5--80. The estimated mantle Ne abundance requires efficient solar nebular gas capture or accretion of Ne-rich materials such as solar-wind-implanted dust in the planet formation stage, both of which provide important constraints on the abundance of other volatile elements in the interior and the accretion history of Mars. More precise determination of atmospheric Ne abundance and isotopic composition by in situ analysis or Mars sample return is crucial for distinguishing the possible origins of Ne.
