Modeling Martian Atmospheric Losses over Time: Implications for Exoplanetary Climate Evolution and Habitability
Chuanfei Dong, Yuni Lee, Yingjuan Ma +11
In this Letter, we make use of sophisticated 3D numerical simulations to assess the extent of atmospheric ion and photochemical losses from Mars over time. We demonstrate that the…

Solar wind interaction with the Martian upper atmosphere: Roles of the cold thermosphere and hot oxygen corona
Chuanfei Dong, Stephen W. Bougher, Yingjuan Ma +10
We study roles of the thermosphere and exosphere on the Martian ionospheric structure and ion escape rates in the process of the solar wind-Mars interaction. We employ a four-speci…
