Atmospheric Mass Flux as a Function of Ionospheric Emission on Unmagnetized Earth

P. C. Hinton, D. A. Brain, N. R. Schnepf +3

We explore ion escape from, and solar ion deposition to, \hll{an unmagnetized Earth-like planet}. We use RHybrid, an ion-kinetic electron-fluid code to simulate the global plasma i…
