Meteoric ions in planetary ionospheres [PDF]

Advances in Space Research, 2001
Solar system debris, in the form of meteoroids, impacts every planet. The flux, relative composition and speed of the debris at each planet depends on the planet's size and location in the solar system. Ablation in the atmosphere evaporates the meteoric material and leaves behind metal atoms.

Planetary ionospheres – sources and dynamic drivers [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2008
AbstractExternal energy inputs into all planetary upper atmospheres (including more than a half dozen moons with atmospheres) are comprised of combinations of solar EUV, soft x-rays, solar energetic particles, solar wind charged particles, magnetospherically accelerated particles, solar wind electric field, interplanetary dust particles as well as ...

A Study of the reactions of Al⁺ ions with O₃, N₂, O₂, CO₂ and H₂O: influence on Al⁺ chemistry in planetary ionospheres

Physical Chemistry, Chemical Physics - PCCP, 2019
The reactions between Al+(31S) and O3, O2, N2, CO2 and H2O were studied using the pulsed laser ablation at 532 nm of an aluminium metal target in a fast flow tube, with mass spectrometric detection of Al+ and AlO+.

Photoelectrons as a Tracer of Planetary Atmospheric Composition: Application to CO on Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2020
Photoelectrons are an extensively studied component of planetary ionospheres which have been frequently used as a diagnostic of ambient magnetic fields. We show in this study that they also provide information on atmospheric composition via the altitude ...

The Possible Role of Penning Ionization Processes in Planetary Atmospheres

Atmosphere, 2015
In this paper we suggest Penning ionization as an important route of formation for ionic species in upper planetary atmospheres. Our goal is to provide relevant tools to researchers working on kinetic models of atmospheric interest, in order to include ...

Sources of Planetary Ionospheres

, 1994
The sources of dayside and nightside ionospheres of the terrestrial and outer planets and their satellites are discussed. The sources of dayside ionospheres include photoionization of neutral thermospheric constituents by solar ultraviolet and x-ray ...

Dications in the planetary ionospheres

, 2006
The planetary ionosphere models usually consider singly charged ions only and neglect doubly charged ions and especially the molecular ones since they were thought to be unstable in ionospheric conditions.
