Precise photoionisation treatment and hydrodynamic effects in atmospheric modelling of warm and hot Neptunes

Daria Kubyshkina, Luca Fossati, Nikolai V. Erkaev

Observational breakthroughs in the exoplanet field of the last decade motivated the development of numerous theoretical models describing atmospheres and mass loss, which is believ…

The Exosphere as a Boundary: Origin and Evolution of Airless Bodies in the Inner Solar System and Beyond Including Planets with Silicate Atmospheres

H. Lammer, M. Scherf, Y. Ito +6

In this review we discuss all the relevant solar/stellar radiation and plasma parameters and processes that act together in the formation and modification of atmospheres and exosph…

Nitrogen Atmospheres of the Icy Bodies in the Solar System

M. Scherf, H. Lammer, N. V. Erkaev +3

This brief review will discuss the current knowledge on the origin and evolution of the nitrogen atmospheres of the icy bodies in the solar system, particularly of Titan, Triton an…

Escape and evolution of Titan's N atmosphere constrained by N/N isotope ratios

N. V. Erkaev, M. Scherf, S. E. Thaller +4

We apply a 1D upper atmosphere model to study thermal escape of nitrogen over Titan's history. Significant thermal escape should have occurred very early for solar EUV fluxes 100 t…

Stellar Driven Evolution of Hydrogen-Dominated Atmospheres from Earth-Like to Super-Earth-Type Exoplanets

K. G. Kislyakova, M. Holmström, H. Lammer +1

In the present chapter we present the results of evolutionary studies of exoplanetary atmospheres. We mostly focus on the sub- to super-Earth domain, although these methods are app…

Solar XUV and ENA-driven water loss from early Venus' steam atmosphere

H. I. M. Lichtenegger, K. G. Kislyakova, P. Odert +8

The influence of the hydrogen hydrodynamic upper atmosphere escape, driven by the solar soft X-ray and extreme ultraviolet radiation (XUV) flux, on an expected magma ocean outgasse…
