• Atmospheric Escape and Evolution of Terrestrial Planets and Satellites (2008, background): “This results in high predicted atmospheric escape rates from primitive atmospheres (e.g., Sekiya et al. 1980, 1981; Watson et al. 1981; Zahnle et al. 1990; Kulikov et al. 2007; Zahnle et al. 2007).”
• Thermal evolution of an early magma ocean in interaction with the atmosphere (2012, neutral): “Zahnle et al. [2007] showed that the resultant heating could overwhelm the radioactive heating, thus expanding the lifetime of a magma ocean.”
• Processes on the Young Earth and the Habitats of Early Life (2012, background): “Surface cooling after accretion would then be governed by how quickly CO2 was removed from the atmosphere by carbonation of the oceanic crust (Sleep et al. 2001, Zahnle et al. 2007).”
• Evidence for multiple magma ocean outgassing and atmospheric loss episodes from mantle noble gases (2013, background): “The presence of liquid water on an accreting Earth is likely if the time between giant impacts is >107 years (Elkins-Tanton, 2008; Zahnle et al., 2007).”
• Update of the HITRAN collision-induced absorption section (2019, neutral): “However, CIA processes are also likely to be important for hotter planets, including those with a surface magma ocean, as may have been the case for the early Earth and Venus ( e.g. , Zahnle et al., 2007).”
• Tidal obliquity evolution of potentially habitable planets (2011, background): “If the absorbed stellar flux per unit area is larger than≈ 300 W/m2, runaway greenhouse effects may turn a terrestrial planet uninhabitable (Zahnle et al. 2007; Selsis et al. 2007, and references therein).”
• The faint young Sun problem (2012, background): “During the Archean, tides were higher due to the smaller distance rM to the Moon [Walker and Zahnle, 1986] which also influences the dissipation rate of tidal energy due to the changes in orbital period and day-length [Zahnle and Walker , 1987].”
• How to Characterize Habitable Worlds and Signs of Life (2017, background): “Land plants have been widespread on Earth for only approximately 460 Myr (e.g., Zahnle et al. 2007), whereas much of the history of life has been dominated by single-celled microbial life.”
