The Cosmic Shoreline: The Evidence that Escape Determines which Planets Have Atmospheres, and what this May Mean for Proxima Centauri B (2017, background): “ons from young stars 8 Zahnle & Catling (Sekiya et al. 1980a, 1981). Hayashi’s idea has proved fruitful and subsequent work on EUV and X-ray driven escape has been voluminous (see Tian (2015) and Catling and Kasting (2017) for recent reviews). EUV and X-ray radiations are usually linked in the l”
Origin and evolution of the atmospheres of early Venus, Earth and Mars (2018, background): “The partly ionized hydrogen can drag away the heavy Xe+ ions along the open magnetic fiel lines due to the strong Coulomb interaction between these ions (Zahnle 2015; Catling and Kasting 2017).”
Evolved Climates and Observational Discriminants for the TRAPPIST-1 Planetary System (2018, methodology): “…is generally unknown, we chose to use this physically motivated approach to convection, rather than convective adjustment to a prespecified lapse rate that can be different from the adiabatic lapse rate (e.g., Earth is ∼6.5 K km−1, Mars ∼2.5 K km−1, and Venus ∼8.0 K km−1; Catling & Kasting 2017).”
Strange messenger: A new history of hydrogen on Earth, as told by Xenon (2018, background): “particular, Xe+ does not react with H, H 2 or CO 2. This partiality to life as an ion would change if O 2 were abundant, as was certainly the case after the GOE (Great Oxidation Event) ca 2.4-2.1 Ga (Catling and Kasting, 2017, p. 257), or if small hydrocarbons (other than CH 4) were abundant, as cou”
