Examining MAVEN NGIMS Neutral Data Response to Solar Wind Drivers

H. N. Williamson, M. K. Elrod, S. M. Curry +1

The Martian upper atmosphere is known to vary diurnally and seasonally due to changing amounts of solar radiation. However, in the upper thermosphere and exosphere, the neutrals ar…

Propagation of Transient Perturbations into a Planet's Exosphere: Molecular Kinetic Simulations

Ludivine Leclercq, Robert E. Johnson, Hayley H Williamson +1

The upper atmospheres of Mars and Titan, as well as those on many other planetary bodies, exhibit significant density variations vs. altitude that are interpreted as gravity waves.…

On the orbital variability of Ganymede's atmosphere

Francois Leblanc, Apurva V. Oza, Ludivine Leclercq +5

Ganymede's atmosphere is produced by radiative interactions with its surface, sourced by the Sun and the Jovian plasma. The sputtered and thermally desorbed molecules are tracked i…

Dusk Over Dawn O Asymmetry in Europa's Near-Surface Atmosphere

Apurva V. Oza, Francois Leblanc, Robert E. Johnson +4

The evolution of Europa's water-product exosphere over its 85-hour day, based on current models, has not been shown to exhibit any diurnal asymmetries. Here we simulate Europa's ex…

Solar System Ice Giants: Exoplanets in our Backyard

Abigail Rymer, Kathleen Mandt, Dana Hurley +110

Future remote sensing of exoplanets will be enhanced by a thorough investigation of our solar system Ice Giants (Neptune-size planets). What can the configuration of the magnetic f…
