Information - M4 Recent Progress on Escape of Volatiles to Space at Non-Magnetized Bodies
Event Information
The top of the atmosphere of a planetary body is the conduit through which the escape of gases to space occurs. The strong evidence for liquid water at the surface of Mars in its early history but not today suggests that dramatic climate change has occurred. Evidence points to loss to space as being a significant force behind this change. Escape of planetary ions in the wake of Mars and Venus via the interaction with the solar wind plasma is one channel for this escape and we have nowadays the unique opportunity to compare them with similar instrumentation on Mars Express and Venus Express. The session will also be devoted to new results from Cassini around Saturn's moons including Titan, Enceladus, Rhea and others, as well as theoretical studies or numerical simulation works. Paper relating to other space missions or future projects are also welcome.
