Abstract

The potential contribution of volatile material to planetary atmospheres from comet impact is presently estimated on the basis of a scenario of extensive gravitational scattering of icy planetesimals from the other planets and cometary nuclei in the early and late phase of the bombardment process. In the earth's case, the cometary water is sufficient to compete with the water contained in the nonvolatile planetesimals condensed in the region of the terrestrial planets; the same consideration could be applied to Mars and Venus, although it is not yet clear how the cometary chemical compositions may have affected the evolution of early planetary atmospheres. 52 references.

IMPACT REGIMES AND POST-FORMATION SEQUESTRATION PROCESSES: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE ORIGIN OF HEAVY NOBLE GASES IN TERRESTRIAL PLANETS

Journal Article Mousis, Olivier ; Petit, Jean-Marc ; Picaud, Sylvain ; ... - Astrophysical Journal

The difference between the measured atmospheric abundances of neon, argon, krypton, and xenon for Venus, Earth, and Mars is striking. Because these abundances drop by at least 2 orders of magnitude as one moves outward from Venus to Mars, the study of the origin of this discrepancy is a key issue that must be explained if we are to fully understand the different delivery mechanisms of the volatiles accreted by the terrestrial planets. In this work, we aim to investigate whether it is possible to quantitatively explain the variation of the heavy noble gas abundances measured on Venus, Earth, andmore »« less

Large impact events and atmospheric evolution on the terrestrial planets

Miscellaneous Grinspoon, D H

The first task undertaken is the characterization of the impact rates in the inner solar system during the present time, and during the first billion years of Solar System history when the flux was changing rapidly. Once defined, these fluxes are used to model the long term cumulative effect of multiple impacts on planetary atmospheres. The implications of cometary impacts on evolution of the water and deuterium abundances on Venus are examined. The short lifetime of water on Venus suggests that the water abundance is in quasi-steady-state balance between loss by escape and replenishment by infall. In addition, the observedmore »« less
Origin of the oceans and the atmosphere of the Earth

Journal Article Delsemme, A H - American Astronomical Society, Bulletin; (United States)

In the terrestrial zone of the Solar Nebula, the temperature of the dusty particles that sedimented from the gas phase to form the Earth cannot be directly established. However, it can be deduced from the known accretion temperature of chondrites, combined with any reasonable temperature gradient from 2.6 to 1 A.U. The authors find that it had to be close to 1,000 K, implying complete degassing of the grains. In particular, all carbon was in gaseous CO and all H[sub 2]O was steam (no silicates were hydrated). The subsequent agglomeration of planetesimals into the Earth was therefore completely devoid ofmore »« less
Thermodynamics of clathrate hydrate at low and high pressures with application to the outer solar system

Journal Article Lunine, J I ; Stevenson, D J - Astrophys. J., Suppl. Ser.; (United States)

The thermodynamic stability of clathrate hydrate is calculated under a wide range of temperature and pressure conditions applicable to solar system problems, using a statistical mechanical theory developed by van der Waals an Platteeuw (1959) and existing experimental data on properties of clathrate hydrates and their components. At low pressure, dissociation pressures and partition functions (Langmuir constants) for CO clathrate (hydrate) have been predicted, using the properties of clathrate containing, as guests, molecules similar to CO. The comparable or higher propensity of CO to incorporate in clathrate relative to N/sub 2/ is used to argue for high CO-to-N/sub 2/ ratiosmore »« less

Terrestrial planet formation in a protoplanetary disk with a local mass depletion: A successful scenario for the formation of Mars

Journal Article Izidoro, A. ; Winter, O. C. ; Haghighipour, N. ; ... - Astrophysical Journal

Models of terrestrial planet formation for our solar system have been successful in producing planets with masses and orbits similar to those of Venus and Earth. However, these models have generally failed to produce Mars-sized objects around 1.5 AU. The body that is usually formed around Mars' semimajor axis is, in general, much more massive than Mars. Only when Jupiter and Saturn are assumed to have initially very eccentric orbits (e ∼ 0.1), which seems fairly unlikely for the solar system, or alternately, if the protoplanetary disk is truncated at 1.0 AU, simulations have been able to produce Mars-like bodiesmore »« less
