From Atmospheric Evolution to the Search of Species of Astrobiological Interest in the Solar System—Case Studies Using the Planetary Spectrum Generator

open access: yes, 2022
The study of minor chemical species in terrestrial planets’ atmospheres can teach us about the chemistry, dynamics and evolution of the atmospheres through time.

Joint Application of Concentration and δ18O to Investigate the Global Atmospheric CO Budget

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2015
Most previous top-down global carbon monoxide (CO) budget estimates have used only concentration information and shown large differences in individual source estimates.

Chemical and Dynamical Processes in the Atmospheres of I. Ancient and Present-Day Earth, II. Jupiter and Galileo Satellite, III. Extrasolar “Hot Jupiters” [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
When exposed to stellar UV radiation, chemical processes will be governed not only by temperature/pressure but also the spectrum of the incoming dissociative photon flux; the system will approach kinetic, or photochemical, equilibrium, instead of ...

Ionization in atmospheres of brown dwarfs and extrasolar planets. IV. The effect of cosmic rays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
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(

Planetary atmospheres [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomical School’s Report, 2009
The theoretical and observational aspects of research of planetary atmospheres and their main satellites are presented. Physics of atmosphere, its structure, making climate factors, stability of atmospheres to dissipation of basic gases, applicability of theory of similarity to the study of atmosphere and its general circulation are considered.

Nightside Ionospheric Structure and Composition on Mars Driven by Energetic Electron Precipitation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Ionospheric chemistry plays an unexpectedly important role in the evolution of planetary habitability. This study is dedicated to a detailed modeling of the nightside Martian ionospheric structure and composition, a topic that has been poorly explored ...

Polar vortices in planetary atmospheres [PDF]

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, 2021
Among the great diversity of atmospheric circulation patterns observed throughout the solar system, polar vortices stand out as a nearly ubiquitous planetary-scale phenomenon. In recent years there have been significant advances in the observation of planetary polar vortices, culminating in the fascinating discovery of Jupiter's polar vortex clusters ...

Gravity Waves in Planetary Atmospheres: Their Effects and Parameterization in Global Circulation Models

open access: yes, 2019
The dynamical and thermodynamical importance of gravity waves was initially recognized in the atmosphere of Earth. Extensive studies over recent decades demonstrated that gravity waves exist in atmospheres of other planets, similarly play a significant ...
