Ogygis Undae
Ogygis Undae is the only named southern hemisphere dune field on Mars . [1] It is named after one of the classical albedo features on Mars : Ogygis Regio . [2] Its name was officially approved by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) on 17 September 2015. Its name is Greek , [2] and derives from the name of Ogyges , a primeval mythological ruler in ancient Greece . The dunes of Ogygis Undae extend from latitude −49.94°N to −49.37°N and from longitude 292.64°E to 294.93°E (65.07°W – 67.36°W). [2] Its centre is located at latitude −49.66°N, longitude 293.79°E (66.21°W), and has a diameter of 87.7 km. [3] [2] It is situated just outside Argyre Planitia , a plain located in the southern highlands of Mars. [4] Ogygis Undae has an area of 1904 km 2 , and, because to its large size, it is considered to be an excellent field on which research on dune morphology and sand composition, using data which has been gathered by the various instruments onboard robotic spacecraft sent by NASA and ESA to Mars.
