Why should I Register and Login on the ASU Mars Image Explorer website?

If you choose to Register and Login to the ASU Mars Image Explorer website, you will be able to take advantage of the many new features that we are adding to customize your personal defaults and save your favorite queries. Registration is free and we will not send you unsolicited email.

How does the "Search THEMIS" tool find images within the latitude/longitude box that I define?

The "Search THEMIS" tool is supported by a database that contains the coordinates for at least six points (usually significantly more) outlining the edges of each available THEMIS image. The image will be included in the results table if any of these outline points falls inside your latitude/longitude box, and your remaining criteria are also met.

Note that the previous THEMIS query tool relied only on three coordinates per image; therefore, this new method may return more positive results for the same latitude/longitude box.

Are THEMIS images copyrighted?

All THEMIS images on the website are in the public domain, and should be credited to NASA/JPL/Arizona State University.

Acknowledgment of the THEMIS website and its resources will help ensure the continuing support necessary for the validation, archiving, and distribution of the Mars work at ASU. See Data Citation hints for more example references.

Can I do my own data processing of THEMIS images?

Yes! The THEMIS standard processing is described in the documents here, but you are, of course, always welcome to ingest the published products into your favorite image processing tools. However, we also have created an online processing tool which allows you to complete your own specialized processing using the THEMIS toolset and the ASU-MARS computers. Many exciting and new features for this tool are being developed based on feedback from users like you.

Why do the MARS-ASU websites use cookies?

The MARS-ASU websites use cookies to store your preferred way to view images: favorite bands, basic vs. advanced options, preferred streches, etc. No individualized information is placed within the cookies, and they cannot be used to track visitors in any way. If you wish to turn off cookies for these sites altogether, they will continue to work fine; they just won't save any preferences for you.
