متن کاملMars: upper atmosphere.
The thermal structure of the upper atmosphere of Mars has been theoretically investigated. The exospheric temperature, for a pure CO(2) model atmosphere, lies between 400 degrees and 700 degrees K. The origin of the Martian atmosphere is discussed in the light of these results.
متن کاملSynoptic radio observations as proxies for upper atmosphere modelling
The specification of the upper atmosphere strongly relies on solar proxies that can properly reproduce the solar energetic input in the UV. Whilst the microwave flux at 10.7 cm (also called F10.7 index) has been routinely used as a solar proxy, we show that the radio flux at other wavelengths provides valuable complementary information that enhances their value for upper atmospheric modelling. ...
متن کاملWaves in Pluto’s Upper Atmosphere
Observations of the 2007 March 18 occultation of the star P445.3 (2UCAC 25823784; R = 15.3) by Pluto were obtained at high time resolution at five sites across the western United States and reduced to produce light curves for each station using standard aperture photometry. Global models of Pluto’s upper atmosphere are fitted simultaneously to all resulting light curves. The results of these mo...
متن کاملSputtering and heating of Titan's upper atmosphere.
Titan is an important endpoint for understanding atmospheric evolution. Prior to Cassini's arrival at Saturn, modelling based on Voyager data indicated that the hydrogen escape rate was large (1-3x1028amus-1), but the escape rates for carbon and nitrogen species were relatively small (5x1026amus-1) and dominated by atmospheric sputtering. Recent analysis of the structure of Titan's thermosphere...
