Outgassing History and Escape of the Martian Atmosphere and Water Inventory (2015, background): “Depending on the composition of the upper atmosphere and the planet’s mean density, when the solar EUV flux in the wavelength range λ ≈2–120 nm overcomes a critical value, the outward flow of the bulk thermosphere cools due to adiabatic expansion (Tian et al. 2005; 2008).”
Modeling the effects of gravity wave momentum deposition on the general circulation above the turbopause (2009, background): “Most thermosphere models even entirely neglect the contribution of small-scale GWs to the energy and momentum budget of the upper atmosphere [e.g., Richmond et al., 1992; Zou et al., 2000; Smithtro and Sojka, 2005; Tian et al., 2008].”
Origin and evolution of the atmospheres of early Venus, Earth and Mars (2018, background): “6.1 Thermal and nonthermal nitrogen escape According to studies by Tian et al. (2008a, 2008b) related to the EUV exposure of Earth’s upper atmosphere when the solar EUV flux exceeds a critical value (≈5 EUV) the upper atmosphere (present-day Earth composition) switches from the hydrostatic to the…”
THE ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION ENVIRONMENT AROUND M DWARF EXOPLANET HOST STARS (2012, background): “For terrestrial atmospheres, an increase in the EUV flux can elevate the temperature of the thermosphere by a factor of & 10 (Tian et al. 2008), potentially causing significant and rapid atmospheric mass-loss.”
Stellar winds on the main-sequence - II. The evolution of rotation and winds (2015, background): “These uncertainties are very significant for studies of the evolution of planetary atmospheres given the sensitivity of their upper atmospheres to the level of high-energy radiation from the central star (Tian et al. 2008; Lammer et al. 2010).”
The habitability of Proxima Centauri b. I. Irradiation, rotation and volatile inventory from formation to the present (2016, background): “Tian et al. (2008) found that Earth exobase would rise to 4.8 and 12.7 planetary radii for 10 and 20 EUV⊕, respectively.”
Composition and fate of short-period super-Earths: The case of CoRoT-7b (2009, unknown): “8 of Tian et al. (2008), one obtains the mass loss rate of the order of 109g/s in the case of the highest EUV flux (= 100 erg s−1 cm−2), while Eq.”
THE MUSCLES TREASURY SURVEY. I. MOTIVATION AND OVERVIEW (2016, background): “For terrestrial atmospheres, increasing the EUV flux to levels estimated for the young Sun (≈ 1 Gyr; Ayres 1997) can increase the temperature of the thermosphere by a factor of & 10 (Tian et al. 2008), potentially causing significant and rapid atmospheric mass-loss.”
How Hospitable Are Space Weather Affected Habitable Zones? The Role of Ion Escape (2017, unknown): “Hydrogen, as the lightest component, escapes more readily than any other species by this mechanism ( Lammer et al. 2008; Tian et al. 2008 ) .”
