Terrestrial exospheric hydrogen density distributions under solar minimum and solar maximum conditions observed by the TWINS stereo mission [PDF]
Circumterrestrial Lyman-α column brightness observations above 3 Earth radii (Re) have been used to derive separate 3-D neutral hydrogen density models of the Earth's exosphere for solar minimum (2008, 2010) and near-solar-maximum (2012) conditions ...

Surface Exospheric Interactions
AbstractGas-surface interactions at the Moon, Mercury and other massive planetary bodies constitute, alongside production and escape, an essential element of the physics of their gravitationally bound exospheres. From condensation and accumulation of exospheric species onto the surface in response to diurnal and seasonal changes of surface temperature,

Mercury's subsolar sodium exosphere: an ab initio calculation to interpret MASCS/UVVS observations from MESSENGER [PDF]
The optical spectroscopy measurements of sodium in Mercury's exosphere near the subsolar point by MESSENGER Mercury Atmospheric and Surface Composition Spectrometer Ultraviolet and Visible Spectrometer (MASCS/UVVS) have been interpreted before with a ...

Ionization in atmospheres of brown dwarfs and extrasolar planets. IV. The effect of cosmic rays [PDF]
Cosmic rays provide an important source for free electrons in Earth's atmosphere and also in dense interstellar regions where they produce a prevailing background ionization. We utilize a Monte Carlo cosmic ray transport model for particle energies of 10(

Neutralized solar wind ahead of the Earth's magnetopause as contribution to non-thermal exospheric hydrogen [PDF]
In a most recent paper by Qin and Waldrop (2016), it had been found that the scale height of hydrogen in the upper exosphere of the Earth, especially during solar minimum conditions, appears to be surprisingly large. This indicates that during minimum

The long egress of GJ~436b's giant exosphere [PDF]
The M dwarf GJ 436 hosts a transiting warm Neptune known to experience atmospheric escape. Previous observations revealed the presence of a giant hydrogen exosphere transiting the star for more than 5 h, and absorbing up to 56% of the flux in the blue ...

Observability of hydrogen-rich exospheres in Earth-like exoplanets
(Abridged) The existence of an extended neutral hydrogen exosphere around small planets can be used as an evidence for the presence of water in their lower atmosphere but, to date, such feature has not been securely detected in rocky exoplanets ...

Long-term variability of CO2 and O in the Mars upper atmosphere from MRO radio science data [PDF]
We estimate the annual variability of CO2 and O partial density using approximately 6years of Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) radio science data from August 2006 to January 2012, which cover three full Martian years (from the northern hemisphere summer
