Abstract
By providing an environment where energetic particles and micrometeorites can not
penetrate, caves on Mars may serve as a human shelter in future Mars explorations. More
than 1,000 cave entrance candidates have been detected; however, their physical
characteristics that can be utilized in detecting more candidates have not been explored
in detail. In this paper, we explore the nighttime temperature of 100 cave entrance
candidates and their surrounding areas to investigate 1) the nighttime temperature
tendencies relative to their surrounding areas and 2) the extent of these temperature
differences. We find that 79% of the cave entrance candidates exhibit higher
temperatures than the surrounding areas, and 59% show a temperature difference over 20K,
suggesting that the cave entrances may generally show higher temperatures than the
surrounding areas during the nighttime.
期刊介绍：
JASS aims for the promotion of global awareness and understanding of space science and related applications. Unlike other journals that focus either on space science or on space technologies, it intends to bridge the two communities of space science and technologies, by providing opportunities to exchange ideas and viewpoints in a single journal. Topics suitable for publication in JASS include researches in the following fields: space astronomy, solar physics, magnetospheric and ionospheric physics, cosmic ray, space weather, and planetary sciences; space instrumentation, satellite dynamics, geodesy, spacecraft control, and spacecraft navigation. However, the topics covered by JASS are not restricted to those mentioned above as the journal also encourages submission of research results in all other branches related to space science and technologies. Even though JASS was established on the heritage and achievements of the Korean space science community, it is now open to the worldwide community, while maintaining a high standard as a leading international journal. Hence, it solicits papers from the international community with a vision of global collaboration in the fields of space science and technologies.
