Atmospheric Escape Rates from Mars - If it Orbited an Old M-Dwarf Star
David A. Brain, Ofer Cohen, Thomas E. Cravens +35
Atmospheric escape is an important process that influences the evolution of planetary atmospheres. A variety of physical mechanisms can contribute to escape from an atmosphere, inc…

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…

Temporal Substepping Scheme for Magnetohydrodynamics with Cell-based Adaptive Mesh Refinement on Staggered Grid
Ilja Honkonen, Riku Jarvinen, David Phillips
We present a new algorithm for numerical magnetohydrodynamics on staggered meshes preserving . Our algorithm is based on the constrained transport method and su…
