Comparing Monte Carlo Models of Impact Alteration of Planetary Atmospheres
MIkayla R. Huffman, David A. Brain, Kelsi N. Singer +2
One process that affects atmospheric surface pressure is impact bombardment. The evolution of a planet's atmosphere under impact bombardment is an open question. We use a Monte Car…

Atmospheric collapse and re-inflation through impacts for terrestrial planets around M dwarfs
Prune C. August, Robin Wordsworth, Mikayla Huffman +2
Detection of an atmosphere around a terrestrial exoplanet will be a major milestone in the field, but our observational capacities are biased towards to tidally locked, close-in pl…

Inferring the CO2 Abundance in Comet 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajdušáková from [O I] Observations: Implications for the Source of Icy Grains in Cometary Comae
Mikayla R. Huffman, Adam J. McKay, Anita L. Cochran
The study of cometary composition is important for understanding our solar system's early evolutionary processes. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a common hypervolatile in comets that can…
