Reflectance and emission spectroscopy study of four groups of phyllosilicates: smectites, kaolinite-serpentines, chlorites and micas (2008, methodology): “…(near-IR) images acquired by the Observatoire pour la Minéralogie, L’Eau, les Glaces et l’Activité (OMEGA) on-board Mars Express (Poulet et al., 2005; Bibring et al., 2006) and by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbi ter (MRO) Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) instrument…”
Martian surface mineralogy from Observatoire pour la Minéralogie, l'Eau, les Glaces et l'Activité on board the Mars Express spacecraft (OMEGA/MEx): Global mineral maps (2007, methodology): “…of these detections of major importance to trace the past environment are still under investigation, but the major trends have been stated [Bibring et al., 2006]: a first phyllocian period (formation of phyllosilicates) indicating an aqueous alteration very early in its history, followed…”
Geologic history of Mars (2010, background): “Recently Bibring et al. (2006) suggested alternate names for the time stratigraphic units, based on mineralogical characteristics, but we will retain here the traditional, more neutral nomenclature based on type localities.”
The High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) of Mars Express and its approach to science analysis and mapping for Mars and its satellites (2016, background): “…and spectroscopic data sets from instruments providing global coverage for Mars such as the Observatoire pour la Minéralogie, l’Eau, les Glaces et l’Activité of Mars Express (OMEGA, Bibring et al., 2006) or the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars of MRO (CRISM; Murchie, 2007).”
Mineralogy of the Martian Surface (2014, background): “The global nature of mineral formation by liquid water during the first billion years has been a key discovery, and it appears that large deposits of phyllosilicates are found only in the Noachian crust (e.g., Bibring et al. 2006).”
A REVISED ESTIMATE OF THE OCCURRENCE RATE OF TERRESTRIAL PLANETS IN THE HABITABLE ZONES AROUND KEPLER M-DWARFS (2013, background): “The outer edge optimistic estimate is the “Early Mars” limit based on the observation that early Mars was warm enough for liquid water to flow on its surface (Pollack et al. 1987; Bibring et al. 2006).”
Mineralogy of a Mudstone at Yellowknife Bay, Gale Crater, Mars (2014, background): “The preponderance of clay mineral formation onMars, with associated habitable environments, has been attributed to Noachian processes (63).”
