Volatile accretion history of the terrestrial planets and dynamic implications
F Albarede - Nature, 2009 - nature.com
Accretion left the terrestrial planets depleted in volatile components. Here I examine
evidence for the hypothesis that the Moon and the Earth were essentially dry immediately …

[BOOK][B] Atmospheric evolution on inhabited and lifeless worlds
DC Catling, JF Kasting - 2017 - books.google.com
As the search for Earth-like exoplanets gathers pace, in order to understand them, we need
comprehensive theories for how planetary atmospheres form and evolve. Written by two well …

The Venusian lower atmosphere haze as a depot for desiccated microbial life: a proposed life cycle for persistence of the Venusian aerial biosphere
We revisit the hypothesis that there is life in the venusian clouds to propose a life cycle that
resolves the conundrum of how life can persist aloft for hundreds of millions to billions of …

The habitability of Venus
Venus today is inhospitable at the surface, its average temperature of 750 K being
incompatible to the existence of life as we know it. However, the potential for past surface …

Why an intrinsic magnetic field does not protect a planet against atmospheric escape
The presence or absence of a magnetic field determines the nature of how a planet interacts
with the solar wind and what paths are available for atmospheric escape. Magnetospheres …

Solar wind interaction and impact on the Venus atmosphere
Venus has intrigued planetary scientists for decades because of its huge contrasts to Earth,
in spite of its nickname of “Earth's Twin”. Its invisible upper atmosphere and space …

The Long-Term Evolution of the Atmosphere of Venus: Processes and Feedback Mechanisms: Interior-Exterior Exchanges
This work reviews the long-term evolution of the atmosphere of Venus, and modulation of its
composition by interior/exterior cycling. The formation and evolution of Venus's atmosphere …

Ion energization and escape on Mars and Venus
Mars and Venus do not have a global magnetic field and as a result solar wind interacts
directly with their ionospheres and upper atmospheres. Neutral atoms ionized by solar UV …

Do intrinsic magnetic fields protect planetary atmospheres from stellar winds? lessons from ion measurements at Mars, Venus, and Earth
The accumulation of detailed ion flux measurements from long-lived spacecraft orbiting the
solar system's terrestrial planets have enabled recent studies to estimate the rate of solar …
