Atmospheric Escape from Solar System Terrestrial Planets and Exoplanets

Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2015
It has been known for decades that atmospheric escape is important for the evolution of terrestrial planets in the Solar System, although exactly how atmospheric escape changes the atmospheres of these bodies is still hotly debated. Rapidly increasing numbers of exoplanet observations provide new targets against which atmospheric escape models are ...

Impact bombardment of the terrestrial planets and the early history of the Solar System

Nature Geoscience, 2013
About 4 billion years ago, the terrestrial planets were bombarded by asteroids following an orbital shake-up of the outer Solar System. Lunar samples, planetary cratering records and dynamical models piece together an increasingly coherent view of this bombardment interval.

Late Accretion and the Origin of Water on Terrestrial Planets in the Solar System

2021
<p>Terrestrial planets in the Solar system generally lack surface liquid water. Earth is at odd with this observation and with the idea of the giant Moon-forming impact that should have vaporized any pre-existing water, leaving behind a dry Earth.

Orbital stability of massive protoplanets in the terrestrial planet region of the solar system

The Moon and the Planets, 1978
A number of theories of the formation of the planets advocate that the terrestrial planets were originally of cosmic composition and that it is only subsequent evolution that has removed their volatile components. This paper shows that such protoplanets could have remained in the terrestrial planet region without significant changes occurring in their ...

On the origin of elemental abundances in the terrestrial planets [PDF]

open access: yesIcarus, 2012
The abundances of elements in the Earth and the terrestrial planets provide the initial conditions for life and clues as to the history and formation of the Solar System. We follow the pioneering work of Bond et al.

A Postulated Planetary Collision, the Terrestrial Planets, the Moon and Smaller Solar-System Bodies

Earth, Moon, and Planets, 2013
In a scenario produced by the Capture Theory of planetary formation, a collision between erstwhile solar-system giant planets, of masses 798.75 and 598.37 M⊕, is simulated using smoothed-particle hydrodynamics. Due to grain-surface chemistry that takes place in star-forming clouds, molecular species containing hydrogen, with a high D/H ratio taken as 0.
