On the probability of habitable planets
Francois Forget
In the past 15 years, astronomers have revealed that a significant fraction of the stars should harbor planets and that it is likely that terrestrial planets are abundant in our ga…
3D modelling of the early Martian Climate under a denser CO2 atmosphere: Temperatures and CO2 ice clouds
Francois Forget, Robin Wordsworth, Ehouarn Millour +5
On the basis of geological evidence, it is often stated that the early martian climate was warm enough for liquid water to flow on the surface thanks to the greenhouse effect of a…
Rocket dust storms and detached dust layers in the Martian atmosphere
Aymeric Spiga, Julien Faure, Jean-Baptiste Madeleine +2
Airborne dust is the main climatic agent in the Martian environment. Local dust storms play a key role in the dust cycle; yet their life cycle is poorly known. Here we use mesoscal…
Global modelling of the early Martian climate under a denser CO2 atmosphere: Water cycle and ice evolution
R. Wordsworth, F. Forget, E. Millour +3
We discuss 3D global simulations of the early Martian climate that we have performed assuming a faint young Sun and denser CO2 atmosphere. We include a self-consistent representati…
