Estimation of the Recycling Rate of Dust in the Martian Atmosphere Using Polonium-210 as a Radioactive Tracer
Abstract
We report on the detection of polonium-210 on the dust particles captured by Spirit and Opportunity magnets and provide the first estimate of the recycling rate of the current martian dust cycle.
