Abstract: Recent volcanic activity has long been considered a distinct possibility that would place major constraints on the evolution of Mars’ interior. Volcanic activity would result in the outgassing of sulfur-bearing species. As part of our multi-band search for active release of volcanic gases on Mars, we looked for carbonyl sulfide (OCS) at its combination band (v1 + v3) at 3.42 micrometers (2924 cm(exp -1), and sulfur dioxide (SO2) at 346.652 GHz, in two successive Mars years during its late N...
