- Formation of recurring slope lineae by liquid brines on present‐day Mars (2012, background): “Finally, perchlorate has recently been identified by the Phoenix lander and magnesium perchlorate exhibits one of the lowest eutectic temperature of all salts [Chevrier et al., 2009; Hecht et al., 2009].”
- Mapping the methane on Mars (2010, background): “…the atmosphere (McDonald et al. 1998; Benner et al. 2000), and aeolian processes can favour the atmospheric introduction of oxidants (Delory et al. 2006; Atreya et al. 2007), such as H2O2 (Atreya et al. 2007) or the recently detected XCl4 (perchlorate) by the Phoenix lander (Hecht et al. 2009).”
- Sustainable life support on Mars – the potential roles of cyanobacteria (2015, background): “…(Shergottites, Nakhlites, Chassignites) group of meteorites (McSween 1994), the Viking (Clark et al. 1982), Pathfinder (Rieder 1997) and Phoenix (Hecht et al. 2009) landers, the Spirit rover (Morris et al. 2004), instruments operated from orbiters – noteworthy the Thermal Emission Spectrometer…”
- Water and Brines on Mars: Current Evidence and Implications for MSL (2013, background): “The idea that Phoenix found liquid brines is supported by the detection of perchlorate salts (in particular, Mg(ClO4)2 and NaClO4) at its landing site (Hecht et al. 2009).”
- The Sample Analysis at Mars Investigation and Instrument Suite (2012, methodology): “Using a Wet Chemistry Laboratory instrument the 2008 Phoenix lander mission detected perchlorates in a sample of Martian soil from the polar region (Hecht et al. 2009).”
