Outgassing History and Escape of the Martian Atmosphere and Water Inventory (2015, background): “…atoms in the ionosphere with higher kinetic energy compared to the background atmosphere (e.g., Ip 1988; Nagy et al. 1990; Kim et al. 1998; Lammer et al. 2000; Fox 2004; Fox and Hać 2009; Krestyanikova and Shematovich 2006; Chaufray et al. 2007; Valeille et al. 2009; Gröller et al. 2010; 2012).”
Is there methane on Mars (2010, background): “Clathrates have been suggested as the proximate source of methane to the atmosphere (Chastain and Chevrier, 2007; Geminale et al., 2008; Chassefière, 2009).”
Mapping the methane on Mars (2010, background): “The question of whether there is methane in the martian atmosphere has generated a wide debate about its likely biological or geological origin (Summers et al. 2002; Pellenbarg et al. 2003; Onstott et al. 2006; Prieto-Ballesteros et al. 2006; Atreya et al. 2007; Chastain & Chevrier 2007).”
