Ion chemistry in space
M Larsson, WD Geppert, G Nyman - Reports on Progress in …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We review the gas-phase chemistry in extraterrestrial space that is driven by reactions with
atomic and molecular ions. Ions are ubiquitous in space and are potentially responsible for …

Atmospheric escape and evolution of terrestrial planets and satellites
H Lammer, JF Kasting, E Chassefière… - Space Science …, 2008 - Springer
The origin and evolution of Venus', Earth's, Mars' and Titan's atmospheres are discussed
from the time when the active young Sun arrived at the Zero-Age-Main-Sequence. We show …

Atmospheric escape processes and planetary atmospheric evolution
The habitability of the surface of any planet is determined by a complex evolution of its
interior, surface, and atmosphere. The electromagnetic and particle radiation of stars drive …

Habitable evaporated cores: transforming mini-Neptunes into super-Earths in the habitable zones of M dwarfs
We show that photoevaporation of small gaseous exoplanets (“mini-Neptunes”) in the
habitable zones of M dwarfs can remove several Earth masses of hydrogen and helium from …

The Sun in time: activity and environment
M Güdel - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2007 - Springer
The Sun's magnetic activity has steadily declined during its main-sequence life. While the
solar photospheric luminosity was about 30% lower 4.6 Gyr ago when the Sun arrived on …

Outgassing history and escape of the Martian atmosphere and water inventory
H Lammer, E Chassefière, Ö Karatekin… - Space Science …, 2013 - Springer
The evolution and escape of the martian atmosphere and the planet's water inventory can
be separated into an early and late evolutionary epoch. The first epoch started from the …

Ion energization and escape on Mars and Venus
Mars and Venus do not have a global magnetic field and as a result solar wind interacts
directly with their ionospheres and upper atmospheres. Neutral atoms ionized by solar UV …

[HTML][HTML] How the geomagnetic field influences life on Earth–an integrated approach to geomagnetobiology
Earth is one of the inner planets of the Solar System, but–unlike the others–it has an
oxidising atmosphere, relatively stable temperature, and a constant geomagnetic field …
