Extended Data Fig. 7: Constraint on the sol 1,296 discharge length.

a, Measurement of Δt, the duration of the compression wave for the acoustic signal radiated from the discharge on sol 1,296. b, Assumed geometry of the discharge of length d, located at a distance r from the microphone, in an atmosphere having a sound speed c. The time delay Δt between the arrival time of the acoustic waves from the two ends of the discharge is computed as a function of r and d (Methods section ‘Constraint on the discharge length’).
