Characterizing atmospheric escape from Mars today and through time, with MAVEN
Two of the primary goals of the MAVEN mission are to determine how the rate of escape of
Martian atmospheric gas to space at the current epoch depends upon solar influences and …

How hospitable are space weather affected habitable zones? The role of ion escape
Atmospheres of exoplanets in the habitable zones around active young GKM stars are
subject to extreme X-ray and EUV (XUV) fluxes from their host stars that can initiate …
