Atmospheres of Planets and their Satellites [PDF]

open access: yesHighlights of Astronomy, 1989
ABSTRACTA general review of the chemistry of planetary atmospheres was given with the emphasis on the outer planets and their satellites. The impact of the scientific findings of the Voyager Mission on our understanding of the chemistry and composition of the Jovian, Saturnian, and Uranian atmospheres was highlighted. Hydrocarbon photochemistry will be

Efficient and inefficient hydrodynamic escape of exo-satellite atmospheres driven by irradiation from their young giant planets [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
ABSTRACT The bolometric radiation from a central body is potentially a powerful driver of atmospheric escape from planets or satellites. When heated above their equilibrium temperatures those satellites, due to their low surface gravity, are be prone to significant atmospheric erosion.

The Schumann resonance: A tool for exploring the atmospheric environment and the subsurface of the planets and their satellites [PDF]

open access: yesIcarus, 2008
The propagation of extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic waves and resonance phenomena in the Earth atmosphere has been extensively studied, in relation with ionospheric dynamics, and thunderstorm and lightning activities. A similar investigation can be performed for any other planet and satellite environment, provided this body is wrapped into

Chemistry of Atmospheres: An Introduction to the Chemistry of the Atmospheres of Earth, the Planets and Their Satellites

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1987
The author of this book states that he has attempted to produce a text that will be “intelligible to readers approaching atmospheric chemistry from any scientific discipline.” He proposes to provide the links between atmospheric chemistry and the traditional approaches to physics, chemistry, and biology.

Remote sounding from artificial satellites and space probes of the atmospheres of the Earth and the planets

open access: yesReports on Progress in Physics, 1973
Observation of radiation reflected, scattered or emitted in various regions of the electromagnetic spectrum can yield information about the structure of a planetary atmosphere. Instrumentation for the measurement of temperature, density, and composition and for cloud imaging is described, methods of information retrieval from radiometric observations ...

Estimating the potential of ionizing radiation-induced radiolysis for microbial metabolism on terrestrial planets and satellites with rarefied atmospheres

open access: yesInternational Journal of Astrobiology
Abstract Ionizing radiation is known to have a destructive effect on biology by causing damage to DNA, cells and the production of reactive oxygen species, among other things. While direct exposure to high-radiation dose is indeed not favorable for biological activity, ionizing radiation can and, in some cases, is known to produce a number of ...
