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 ...

The Putative Cerean Exosphere [PDF]
Abstract The ice-rich crust of dwarf planet 1 Ceres is the source of a tenuous water exosphere, and the behavior of this putative exosphere is investigated with model calculations. Outgassing water molecules seasonally condense around the winter pole in an optically thin layer. This seasonal cap reaches an estimated mass of at least

Exosphere - Bringing The Cloud Closer [PDF]
Exosphere provides researcher-friendly software for managing computing workloads on OpenStack cloud infrastructure. Exosphere is a user-friendly alternative to Horizon, the default OpenStack graphical interface. Exosphere can be used with most research cloud infrastructure, requiring near-zero custom integration work.

Constraints on the exosphere of CoRoT-7b [PDF]
CONTEXT: The small radius and high density of CoRoT-7b implies that this transiting planet belongs to a differen t species than all transiting planets previously found. Current models suggest that this is the first transiting rocky planet found outside the solar system. Given that the planet orbits a solar-like star at a distance of on ly 4.5 R*, it is

Magnetic Evidence for an Extended Hydrogen Exosphere at Mercury [PDF]
Remote observations by the Mariner 10 and MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEophysics, and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft have shown the existence of hydrogen in the exosphere of Mercury.

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 ...

Density in a planetary exosphere [PDF]
A discussion of the Opik-Singer theory of the density of a planetary exosphere is presented. Their density formula permits the calculation of the depth of the exosphere. Since the correctness of their derivation of the basic formula for the density distribution has been questioned, an alternate method based directly on Liouville's theorem is given.

Three‐Dimensional Modeling of Callisto's Surface Sputtered Exosphere Environment [PDF]
We study the release of various elements from Callisto's surface into its exosphere by plasma sputtering. The cold Jovian plasma is simulated with a 3‐D plasma‐planetary interaction hybrid model, which produces 2‐D surface precipitation maps for ...

Model of the polar ion-exosphere [PDF]
A model of a polar ion-exosphere in which the geomagnetic field lines are open is developed. The electrostatic field in this region has been calculated by taking into account two fundamental conditions: (1) quasi-neutrality has to be satisfied everywhere in the exosphere; (2) escape fluxes of electrons and ions have to be equal.
