A simulation chamber for absorption spectroscopy in planetary atmospheres [PDF]
A novel simulation chamber, PASSxS (Planetary Atmosphere Simulation System for Spectroscopy), has been developed for absorption measurements performed with a Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) and, possibly, a cavity ring-down (CRD) spectrometer with ...

Superrotation in Planetary Atmospheres [PDF]
AbstractSuperrotation is a dynamical regime where the atmosphere circulates around the planet in the direction of planetary rotation with excess angular momentum in the equatorial region. Superrotation is known to exist in the atmospheres of Venus, Titan, Jupiter, and Saturn in the solar system. Some of the exoplanets also exhibit superrotation.

Quantifying the Key Factors Affecting the Escape of Planetary Atmospheres
The habitability of Earth-like planets is an increasingly important subject in astrophysics and in planetary sciences. Atmospheric escape plays a vital role in the evolution of the habitability of Earth-like planets.

Soft X-Ray-induced Dimerization of Methane
Carbon 1s excitation of methane, CH _4 , has been studied in the gas phase using the ion trap integrated with the photon–ion instrument at PETRA III/DESY and soft X-rays from the beamline P04.

Depletion of 13C in CO in the Atmosphere of Mars Suggested by ExoMars-TGO/NOMAD Observations
The atmosphere of Mars is mainly composed by carbon dioxide (CO _2 ). It has been predicted that photodissociation of CO _2 depletes ^13 C in carbon monoxide (CO).

Non-Thermal Nitric Oxide Formation in the Earth’s Polar Atmosphere
Auroral events are the prominent manifestation of solar/stellar forcing on planetary atmospheres because they are closely related to the stellar energy deposition by and evolution of planetary atmospheres.
