• When Did Life Likely Emerge on Earth in an RNA‐First Process? (2019, background): “[71] 2As reviewed in Kasting & Catling (2003),[73] electrical discharge through CO2N2 mixtures produces NO rather than HCN. [74] The amount of HCN formed in the upper atmosphere via the photochemical ionization of N2, with the amount of HCN formed depending on the amount of CH4 present.”
• Is Proxima Centauri b Habitable? A Study of Atmospheric Loss (2017, background): “The question is of paramount importance, as high escape rates might deplete the planet of its atmosphere after a short period of time, if one excludes mechanisms such as outgassing (Kasting & Catling 2003).”
• ABIOTIC O2 LEVELS ON PLANETS AROUND F, G, K, AND M STARS: POSSIBLE FALSE POSITIVES FOR LIFE? (2015, background): “Some free O2 was present during the Archean as a consequence of photolysis of CO2, but this O2 was largely confined to the stratosphere and was not appreciably more abundant than on the prebiotic Earth (Kasting et al. 1979; Kasting & Catling 2003).”
• Biogeochemical modelling of the rise in atmospheric oxygen (2006, background): “Hydrogen loss to space is a fundamental characteristic of terrestrial planets (Kasting & Catling, 2003), so all Earth-mass planets should become more oxidized with time as a consequence of this physical effect.”
• The AB Doradus Moving Group (2004, background): “…past few years have seen the identification of a variety of comoving stellar groups near the Sun with ages in the range 8–30 Myr, which is characteristic of the period during which the planets of the solar system were forming (see Jacobsen 2003, Kasting & Catling 2003, and references therein).”
• The Sun in Time: Activity and Environment (2007, background): “The present-day atmosphere of the Earth raises the surface temperature by only 33K compared to the atmosphere-free equilibrium value (Sagan and Mullen 1972; Kasting and Catling 2003, see Figure 37).”
• PHOTOCHEMISTRY IN TERRESTRIAL EXOPLANET ATMOSPHERES. I. PHOTOCHEMISTRY MODEL AND BENCHMARK CASES (2012, background): “…production of oxygen in terrestrial atmospheres, either for understanding prebiotic Earth’s atmosphere (e.g., Walker 1977; Kasting et al. 1979; Kasting & Catling 2003), or for assessing whether abiotic oxygen can be a false positive for detecting photosynthesis on habitable exoplanets…”
• THE EVOLUTION OF SOLAR FLUX FROM 0.1 nm TO 160 μm: QUANTITATIVE ESTIMATES FOR PLANETARY STUDIES (2012, unknown): “This increasing luminosity leads to the “faint young Sun” problem of atmospheric evolution on the terrestrial planets (Sagan & Mullen 1972; Kasting & Catling 2003), as well as the temporal expansion of the circumstellar habitable zone (Kasting et al. 1993; Rushby et al. 2012).”
• Electrification of volcanic plumes (2006, background): “A combination of climate modelling with a fainter young Sun, atmospheric chemistry modelling and evidence from paleosols (ancient or fossil soils) suggest that it was a mixture of N2, CO2 and CH4 (Kasting and Catling 2003).”
• Biosignatures from Earth-Like Planets Around M Dwarfs (2005, unknown): “This value is approximately what would be maintained if volcanoes produced the same amount of reduced gases as on Earth and hydrogen escaped with the diffusion-limited rate (Hunten, 1973; Walker, 1977; Kasting and Catling, 2003).”
• A theoretical framework for volcanic degassing chemistry in a comparative planetology perspective and implications for planetary atmospheres (2014, background): “4 In addition to heliocentric distance, one obvious possibility to explain such a diversity is to relate it with long gone processes, such as changes in the luminosity of the Sun, chondritic bombardments, intensity of the magnetic field, solar wind erosion, each of which has clearly played a role on”
• CO2 concentrating mechanisms in algae: mechanisms, environmental modulation, and evolution. (2005, background): “7 Gyr ago (24, 30, 85, 191), such a diffusive supply of CO2 to a phytoplankton cell would have been adequate even if its RUBISCO had a low CO2 affinity and a low CO2/O2 selectivity.”
