Retrieval of Particle Size Distribution of Polar Stratospheric Clouds Based on Wide-Angle Color and Polarization Analysis

Oleg S. Ugolnikov, Boris V. Kozelov, Sergey V. Pilgaev +1

The intensive polar stratospheric vortex in the Arctic that shifted to northern Europe in the winter of 2019-2020 caused low temperatures and the frequent occurrence of polar strat…

Extreme hydrodynamic atmospheric loss near the critical thermal escape regime

N. V. Erkaev, H. Lammer, P. Odert +2

By considering martian-like planetary embryos inside the habitable zone of solar-like stars we study the behavior of the hydrodynamic atmospheric escape of hydrogen for small value…

Origin and Loss of nebula-captured hydrogen envelopes from "sub"- to "super-Earths" in the habitable zone of Sun-like stars

H. Lammer, A. Stökl, N. V. Erkaev +6

We investigate the origin and loss of captured hydrogen envelopes from protoplanets between `sub-Earth'-like bodies of 0.1 up to `super-Earths' with 5 in th…

Escape of the martian protoatmosphere and initial water inventory

N. V. Erkaev, H. Lammer, L. Elkins-Tanton +8

Latest research in planet formation indicate that Mars formed within a few million years (Myr) and remained a planetary embryo that never grew to a more massive planet. It can also…

XUV exposed non-hydrostatic hydrogen-rich upper atmospheres of terrestrial planets. Part I: Atmospheric expansion and thermal escape

N. V. Erkaev, H. Lammer, P. Odert +6

The recently discovered low-density "super-Earths" Kepler-11b, Kepler-11f, Kepler-11d, Kepler-11e, and planets such as GJ 1214b represent most likely planets which are surrounded b…

XUV exposed, non-hydrostatic hydrogen-rich upper atmospheres of terrestrial planets II: Hydrogen coronae and ion escape

K. G. Kislyakova, H. Lammer, M. Holmström +8

We study the interactions between the stellar wind plasma flow of a typical M star, such as GJ 436, and hydrogen-rich upper atmospheres of an Earth-like planet and a "super-Earth"…
