Influence of Magnetic Fields on Precipitating Solar Wind Hydrogen at Mars
Solar wind protons can interact directly with the hydrogen corona of Mars through charge exchange, resulting in energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) able to penetrate deep into the upper atmosphere of Mars.

Atmospheres as windows into sub-Neptune interiors: coupled chemistry and structure of hydrogen-silane-water envelopes [PDF]
Sub-Neptune exoplanets are commonly hypothesized to consist of a silicate-rich magma ocean topped by a hydrogen-rich atmosphere. Previous work studying the outgassing of silicate material has demonstrated that such atmosphere-interior interactions can affect the atmosphere's overall structure and extent.

MAVEN Observations of the Interloop Magnetic Reconnections at Mars
Magnetic reconnection between neighboring magnetic field loops, the so-called interloop reconnection, is a common process to drive flares in the solar atmosphere.

Atmospheric electrification in the Solar System [PDF]
Atmospheric electrification is not a purely terrestrial phenomenon: all Solar System planetary atmospheres become slightly electrified by cosmic ray ionisation. There is evidence for lightning on Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, and it appears likely to exist on Mars, Venus and Titan.

The Mars Topside Ionosphere Response to the X8.2 Solar Flare of 10 September 2017
On 10 September 2017, irradiance from a magnitude X8.2 solar flare impacted Mars while the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) orbiter was characterizing the Mars upper atmosphere.

Atmospheric processes affecting methane on Mars [PDF]
It is currently uncertain as to whether methane exists on Mars. Data from the Curiosity Rover suggests a background methane concentration of a few tenths parts per billion whereas data from the Trace Gas Orbiter suggest an upper limit of twenty parts per trillion.

Martian Proton Aurora Brightening Reveals Atmospheric Ion Loss Intensifying
The Martian proton aurora is a distinct aurora phenomenon resulting from the direct deposition of solar wind energy into Mars' dayside atmosphere. What solar wind parameters influence the aurora activity in the short term is yet unknown, as are the ...
