Atmospheric erosion of CO2-rich Earth-size exoplanets due to coronal mass ejection (CME)-
induced ion pick up within close-in habitable zones of active M-type dwarf stars is …

We review recent advances in the study of the dissociative recombination of molecular ions
with electrons with a primary emphasis on experimental studies. In particular, we focus on …

Self‐consistent models for 11 neutral and 18 ion species from 80 to 300 km on Mars have
been developed by solving the continuity equations including ambipolar diffusion for ions …

Electron-capture dissociation (ECD) is a new fragmentation technique that utilizes ion–
electron recombination reactions. The latter have parallels in other research fields; revealing …

This tutorial deals with the question of atmospheric escape on Mars. After a brief introduction
describing the general context of Mars escape studies, we will present in Section 2 a …

The non-thermal escape of neutral O atoms from Mars at the current epoch is largely due to
dissociative recombination of O2+: There are five energetically allowed channels of this …

Earning tenure at an academic institution and running a steeplechase race successfully
have a lot in common. Both require extensive training before the event begins, both involve …

We present models of the low and high solar activity thermospheres and ionospheres of
Venus for a background atmosphere based largely on the VTS3 model of Hedin et al.[1983] …

We present experimental data on the dissociative recombination (DR) and the dissociative
excitation (DE) of O 2+ in its electronic and vibrational ground state using a heavy ion …

Previous interpretations of the Pioneer Venus mass spectrometer data of the deuterium to
hydrogen (D/H) ratio of 1.9× 10-2 or 120±40 times the terrestrial value indicate that Venus …
