The exosphere as a boundary: Origin and evolution of airless bodies in the inner solar system and beyond including planets with silicate atmospheres
In this review we discuss all the relevant solar/stellar radiation and plasma parameters and
processes that act together in the formation and modification of atmospheres and …

Terrestrial planet formation from a ring
It has been long proposed that, if all the terrestrial planets form within a tiny ring of solid
material at around 1 AU, the concentrated mass-distance distribution of the current system …
