The origin of Earth's mantle nitrogen: primordial or early biogeochemical cycling?
H. Kurokawa, M. Laneuville, Y. Li +5
Earth's mantle nitrogen (N) content is comparable to that found in its N-rich atmosphere. Mantle N has been proposed to be primordial or sourced by later subduction, yet its origin…
Numerous chondritic impactors and oxidized magma ocean set Earth's volatile depletion
Haruka Sakuraba, Hiroyuki Kurokawa, Hidenori Genda +1
Earth's surface environment is largely influenced by its budget of major volatile elements: carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and hydrogen (H). Although the volatiles on Earth are thought…
Can we constrain the origin of Mars' recurring slope lineae using atmospheric observations?
H. Kurokawa, T. Kuroda, S. Aoki +1
Flowing water and brine have been proposed to cause seasonally reappearing dark streaks called recurring slope lineae (RSL) on steep warm slopes on Mars, along with other formation…
Mars' atmospheric neon suggests volatile-rich primitive mantle
H. Kurokawa, Y. N. Miura, S. Sugita +4
Martian atmospheric neon (Ne) has been detected by Viking and also found as trapped gas in Martian meteorites, though its abundance and isotopic composition have not been well dete…
Loss and fractionation of noble gas isotopes and moderately volatile elements from planetary embryos and early Venus, Earth and Mars
H. Lammer, M. Scherf, H. Kurokawa +12
Here we discuss the current state of knowledge on how atmospheric escape processes can fractionate noble gas isotopes and moderately volatile rock-forming elements that populate pr…
A probabilistic approach to determination of Ceres' average surface composition from Dawn VIR and GRaND data
H. Kurokawa, B. L. Ehlmann, M. C. De Sanctis +6
The Visible-Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIR) on board the Dawn spacecraft revealed that aqueous secondary minerals -- Mg-phyllosilicates, NH4-bearing phases, and Mg/Ca carbonate…
