The loss of atmosphere from Mars.
Luhmann et al. (1) and Jakosky et al. (2) showed that the Martian atmosphere was eroded (sputtered) by energetic O ions that are formed from escaping 0 and accelerated back into the atmosphere by the solar wind fields. This collisional ejection process appears to explain measured isotope ratios for Ar and N in the martian atmosphere (2, 3) and it may affect the early evolution of this atmospher...
متن کاملThe Loss of the Martian Atmosphere
It is widely accepted that Mars had an atmosphere at least 4 Gyr ago. The processes that led to the loss of the Martian atmosphere are still debated. Solar-wind-induced sputtering, impact erosion, weathering, sequestration into the regolith and polar caps, and photodissociative reactions are the mechanisms believed to be responsible for removing the atmosphere. No one process has been shown to ...
متن کاملRelating the description of gluon production in pA collisions and parton energy loss in AA collisions
We calculate the classical gluon field of a fast projectile passing through a dense medium. We show that this allows us to calculate both the initial state gluon production in proton-nucleus collisions and the final state gluon radiation off a hard parton produced in nucleus-nucleus collisions. This unified description of these two phenomena makes the relation between the saturation scale Qs an...
متن کاملMethane in Kano-Nigeria atmosphere
ABSTRACT Methane concentrations in Kano municipality have been attributed to the burning of solid and fossil fuels and industrial processes. Using an automatic gas sampling system, methane in the Kano atmosphere was determined. Its distribution in the municipality was skewed towards high frequency of low concentration with a mean and standard deviation of 0.61? 0.39 ?g/m3. Similarly the distri...
متن کاملElucidating Jet Energy Loss in Heavy Ion Collisions
Over the last eight years, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) has been providing heavy ion collisions in the attempt to create the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) within the laboratory. Some of the most striking data from the first few years at RHIC were results from the apparent interaction of hard scattered partons in the medium produced at RHIC. Singl...
