Sputtering 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...
متن کاملWave heating of the solar atmosphere.
Magnetic waves are a relevant component in the dynamics of the solar atmosphere. Their significance has increased because of their potential as a remote diagnostic tool and their presumed contribution to plasma heating processes. We discuss our current understanding of coronal heating by magnetic waves, based on recent observational evidence and theoretical advances. The discussion starts with ...
متن کاملEnergy deposition of pickup ions and heating of Titan’s atmosphere
The deposition of energy, escape of atomic and molecular nitrogen and heating of the upper atmosphere of Titan are studied using a Direct Simulation Monte Carlo method. It is found that the deflected magnetospheric atomic nitrogen ions and molecular pickup ions deposit more energy in Titan’s upper atmosphere than solar radiation. The energy deposition in this region determines the atmospheric l...
متن کاملAcoustic-gravity waves in the atmosphere: from Zakharov equations to wave-kinetics
We develop a wave-kinetic description of acoustic-gravity (AG) waves in the atmosphere. In our paper the high frequency spectrum of waves is described as a gas of quasi-particles. Starting from the Zakharov-type of equations, where coupling between fast and slow density perturbations is considered, we derive the corresponding wave-kinetic equations, written in terms of an appropriate Wigner fun...
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.
