The impact of ultraviolet heating and cooling on the dynamics and observability of lava planet atmospheres Nguyen, T. Giang ; Cowan, Nicolas B.  ; Pierrehumbert, Raymond T. ; Lupu, Roxana E. ; Moores, John E. Abstract Lava planets have non-global, condensible atmospheres similar to icy bodies within the Solar system. Because they depend on interior dynamics, studying the […]

Abstract Massive, kilometer thick deposits of carbon dioxide (CO2) ice have been detected at the south polar cap of Mars by radar investigations. These deposits are divided into several units that are separated by thin water ice bounding layers. Recent studies investigated the accumulation history of CO2 ice and found that the deposits most likely formed […]
