Abstract :
[en] Time domain studies of Mars aurora have enabled new insights into the conditions and mechanisms that give rise to auroral emissions. For example, MAVEN/IUVS observations of global aurora emissions were traced to SEP’s by their coincident timelines. The preferential local time behavior of aurora in the strong crustal field region led to the identification of reconnection as the trigger for emission. In the same vein, the EMM/EMUS instrument has identified a plethora of new temporal behaviors. These results were made possible by mission and instrument operations which provide both the time resolution to capture transient events and the sufficient temporal coverage to identify patterns, trends and correlations. After surveying auroral results of MAVEN and EMM, we will present some proposed compromises on limited M-MATISSE resources (observing time, datarate, detector binning, burst mode, spacecraft repointing, etc.) to offer the greatest opportunities for new discoveries.
