Chemistry Elements:

This field is supposed to store Chemical Elements, and therefore gets searched differently than other fields in ODR.

Elements entered without a prefix will be interpreted as requiring ALL OF them.

Any elements prefixed with the "!" character will be interpreted as requiring NONE OF them.

If you have at least two elements prefixed with the "~" (tilde) character, then this will be interpreted as requiring AT LEAST ONE OF them.

As an example, the string "C O ~N ~H !Na !Ca" will return results that have ALL OF(C, O), and have AT LEAST ONE OF(N, H), and NONE OF(Na, Ca).

Additionally, the term "all" is a shortcut to place every unspecified element in the NONE OF category...the string "C all" will return results that are composed entirely of Carbon.

Valence Elements:

This field is supposed to store Chemical Elements, and therefore gets searched differently than other fields in ODR.

Elements entered without a prefix will be interpreted as requiring ALL OF them.

Any elements prefixed with the "!" character will be interpreted as requiring NONE OF them.

If you have at least two elements prefixed with the "~" (tilde) character, then this will be interpreted as requiring AT LEAST ONE OF them.

As an example, the string "C O ~N ~H !Na !Ca" will return results that have ALL OF(C, O), and have AT LEAST ONE OF(N, H), and NONE OF(Na, Ca).

Additionally, the term "all" is a shortcut to place every unspecified element in the NONE OF category...the string "C all" will return results that are composed entirely of Carbon.

CheMin XRD

XRD Analysis Description

This table contains diffraction-all K-alpha diffraction data for the Tapo Caparo drill sample analyzed in CheMin cell number 15a (Kapton window), which had previously held the samples Avanavero and, subsequently, Canaima. The table represents results from sequences uploaded from sol 3755 to sol 3776, including 51 minor frames that represent a total of 25.5 hours of analysis. Refined plagioclase c and gamma cell parameters were used to make a minor adjustment in the sample to detector distance, reducing this by 33 um. CCD temperatures during data collection were ~-50 degrees centigrade. Column 1 of the table lists 2-theta from 2.00 to 52.00 degrees cobalt K-alpha, in increments of 0.05 degrees (1001 entries). Column 2 lists the intensity of the diffraction for each 2-theta value in column 1.

CheMin Mineral Abundances

MIN Analysis Description

This table contains mineral abundances and analytical errors derived from diffraction-all K-alpha diffraction data for the Tapo Caparo drill sample, analyzed in CheMin cell number 15a (Kapton window). The analysis is based on RDA file CMB_730910626RDA37551001084CH00111P1. Mineral identifications, abundances and analytical errors for crystalline phases were determined using the program JADE. Analysis of the diffraction pattern suggests that small amounts of hematite and goethite are present but are below the quantitation limit in this sample (~1%). In addition to these crystalline phases, high intensity in the low 2-theta region and a broad amorphous hump were modeled using FULLPAT to indicate that ~60 +/- 23 weight% of the total sample consists of X-ray amorphous materials. All errors cited are 2-sigma. Column 1 of the table lists mineral identifications, column 2 lists the mineral abundances in weight percent, and column 3 indicates the estimated analytical errors.

CheMin XRF

XRF Analysis Description

This table contains energy-single fluorescence data for the sample Tapo Caparo in CheMin cell number 15a (Kapton window), which had previously held the samples Avanavero and, subsequently, Canaima. The 43 minor frames of best data quality from sol 3755 to sol 3777 were selected and averaged, including 7740 individual 10-second frames in the 43 minor frames of 180 10-second frames each. A threshold of 50 DN was used. CCD temperatures during data collection were ~-50 degrees centigrade. Column 1 of the table shows energy in keV converted from digital number (DN) using a conversion factor of 127.3438 DN/keV, based on position of the 6.400 keV Fe K-alpha peak at DN 815. Results are listed from DN 51 to 1300 (0.4006 to 10.2121 keV), 1250 entries. Column 2 lists the log-scale intensity for each value of keV in column 1.
