- Petrology on Mars (2015, background): “Geochemical analyses of major and minor elements in rocks are carried out by a-particle X‑ray spectrometers (APXS) (e.g., Gellert et al. 2006; Schmidt et al. 2014), but measurements can be compromised by dust contamination.”
- Mars Science Laboratory Mission and Science Investigation (2012, methodology): “The APXS for MSL is an improved version of the APXS that flew successfully on Pathfinder and the Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity (Rieder et al. 1997, 2003; Gellert et al. 2006).”
- Mineralogy and evolution of the surface of Mars: A review (2007, background): “These observations show a probable an enrichment of the martian regolith of about 1% in meteoritic matter (Gellert et al., 2006; Yen et al., 2005).”
- Gusev crater: Wind‐related features and processes observed by the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit (2006, background): “Given the possible salts detected from Spirit on rocks and in the soils [Gellert et al., 2006; Ming et al., 2006; Morris et al., 2006], salt weathering could be an important mechanism for the generation of dust on Mars and within Gusev crater.”
- Calibration of the Mars Science Laboratory Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (2012, neutral): “As was the case for the MER APXS (Gellert et al. 2006), calibration of such a planetary exploration instrument is a two-part exercise.”
