Atmospheric escape from the TRAPPIST-1 planets and implications for habitability [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018
Significance The search for exoplanets has rapidly emerged as one of the most important endeavors in astronomy. This field received a major impetus with the recent discovery of seven temperate Earth-sized exoplanets orbiting the nearby ultracool dwarf ...

Observing Atmospheric Escape in Sub-Jovian Worlds with JWST [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Hydrodynamic atmospheric escape is considered an important process that shapes the evolution of sub-Jovian exoplanets, particularly those with short orbital periods.

Records of mantle geodynamics and atmospheric escape in Archean quartz. [PDF]

open access: yesSci Adv
Early planetary degassing and atmospheric escape are two major, yet unconstrained, processes that shaped early Earth. Modeling predicts that the atmospheric 20Ne/22Ne ratio is sensitive to solar-Ne mantle degassing over geological time.

Atmospheric Escape Processes and Planetary Atmospheric Evolution [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2020
The habitability of the surface of any planet is determined by a complex evolution of its interior, surface, and atmosphere. The electromagnetic and particle radiation of stars drive thermal, chemical, and physical alteration of planetary atmospheres ...

Atmospheric Escape From Three Terrestrial Planets in the L 98-59 System [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
A critically important process affecting the climate evolution and potential habitability of an exoplanet is atmospheric escape, in which high-energy radiation from a star drives the escape of hydrogen atoms and other light elements from a planet’s ...

Molecular Dications in Planetary Atmospheric Escape [PDF]

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2016
Fundamental properties of multiply charged molecular ions, such as energetics, structure, stability, lifetime and fragmentation dynamics, are relevant to understand and model the behavior of gaseous plasmas as well as ionosphere and astrophysical ...

Dust Storm‐Enhanced Gravity Wave Activity in the Martian Thermosphere Observed by MAVEN and Implication for Atmospheric Escape

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2021
Lower atmospheric global dust storms affect the small‐ and large‐scale weather and variability of the whole Martian atmosphere. Analysis of the CO2 density data from the Neutral Gas and Ion Mass Spectrometer instrument on board NASA's Mars Atmosphere ...
