A recent proposal to explain the stable presence of liquid water on ancient Mars is the presence of clouds comprised of solid carbon dioxide crystals that are good infra-red reflectors and so lead to suitable temperatures at the surface.

What are the likely crystal forms of CO2? Have any calculations of halo phenomena been made for atmospheres of such clouds (or other crystals than those of water ice for that mattter)?
