On the giant planets and Titan, like on the terrestrial planets, aerosols play an important
part in the physico-chemistry of the upper atmosphere (P ≤ 0.5 bar). Above all, aerosols significantly affect radiative transfer
processes, mainly through light scattering, thus influencing the atmospheric energy budget and dynamics. Because there is
usually significant coupling between atmospheric circulation and haze production, aerosols may constitute useful tracers of
atmospheric dynamics.More generally, since their production is directly linked to some kind of energy deposition, their study
may also provide clues to external sources of energy as well as their variability. Finally, aerosols indirectly influence
other processes such as cloud formation and disequilibrium chemistry, by acting either as condensation nuclei or as reaction
sites for surface chemistry. Here, I present a review of observational and modeling results based on remote sensing data,
and also some insights derived from laboratory simulations. Despite our knowledge of the effects of aerosols in outer planetary
atmospheres, however, relatively little is understood about the pathways which produce them, either endogenously (as end-products
of gas-phase photochemical or shock reactions) or exogenously (as residues of meteroid ablation). 相似文献

In seeking to understand the formation of the giant planets and the origin of their atmospheres, the heavy element abundance
in well-mixed atmosphere is key. However, clouds come in the way. Thus, composition and condensation are intimately intertwined
with the mystery of planetary formation and atmospheric origin. Clouds also provide important clues to dynamical processes
in the atmosphere. In this chapter we discuss the thermochemical processes that determine the composition, structure, and
characteristics of the Jovian clouds. We also discuss the significance of clouds in the big picture of the formation of giant
planets and their atmospheres. We recommend multiprobes at all four giant planets in order to break new ground. 相似文献

In the coming decades the detection of Earth-like extrasolar planets, either apparently lifeless or exhibiting spectral signatures of life, will encourage design studies for craft to visit them. These missions will require the elaboration of an interstellar planetary protection protocol. Given a specific dose required to sterilize microorganisms on a spacecraft, a critical mean velocity can be determined below which a craft becomes self-sterilizing. This velocity is calculated to be below velocities previously projected for interstellar missions, suggesting that an active sterilization protocol prior to launch might be required. Given uncertainties in the surface conditions of a destination extrasolar planet, particularly at microscopic scales, the potential for unknown biochemistries and biologies elsewhere, or the possible inoculation of a lifeless planet that is habitable, then both lander and orbiter interstellar missions should be completely free of all viable organisms, necessitating a planetary protection approach applied to orbiters and landers bound for star systems with unknown local conditions for habitability. I discuss the case of existing craft on interstellar trajectories – Pioneer 10, 11 and Voyager 1 and 2. 相似文献

In this review we present the main results obtained by the ISO satellite on the abundance and spatial distribution of water
vapor in the direction of molecular clouds, evolved stars, galaxies, and in the bodies of our Solar System. We also discuss
the modeling of H2O and the difficulties found in the interpretation of the data, the need of collisional rates and the perspectives that future
high angular and high spectral resolution observations of H2O with the Herschel Space Observatory will open. 相似文献

A semigray (shortwave and longwave) surface temperature model is developed from conditions on Venus, Earth and Mars, where the greenhouse effect is mostly due to carbon dioxide and water vapor. In addition to estimating longwave optical depths, parameterizations are developed for surface cooling due to shortwave absorption in the atmosphere, and for convective (sensible and latent) heat transfer. An approximation to the Clausius–Clapeyron relation provides water–vapor feedback. The resulting iterative algorithm is applied to three “super-Earths” in the Gliese 581 system, including the “Goldilocks” planet g (Vogt et al., 2010). Surprisingly, none of the three appear habitable. One cannot accurately locate a star’s habitable zone without data or assumptions about a planet’s atmosphere. 相似文献

The planetary hypothesis of the solar cycle is an old idea in which the gravitational influence of the planets has a non-negligible effect on the causes of the solar magnetic cycle. The advance of this hypothesis is based on phenomenological correlations between dynamical parameters of the Sun’s movement around the barycentre of the Solar System and sunspots time series; and more especially, identifying relationships linking solar barycentric dynamics with prolonged minima (especially Grand Minima events). However, at present there is no clear physical mechanism relating these phenomena. The possible celestial influence on solar cycle modulation is of great importance not only in solar physics but also in Earth sciences, because prolonged solar minima have associated important climatic and telluric variations, in particular, during the Maunder and Dalton Minimum. In this work we looked for a possible causal link in relation with solar barycentric dynamics and prolonged minima events. We searched for particular changes in the Sun’s acceleration and concentrated on long-term variations of the solar cycle. We show how the orbital angular momentum of the Sun evolves and how the inclination of the solar barycentric orbit varies during the epochs of orbital retrogressions. In particular, at these moments, the radial component of the Sun’s acceleration (i.e., in the barycentre-Sun direction) had an exceptional magnitude. These radial impulses occurred at the very beginning of the Maunder Minimum, during the Dalton Minimum and also at the maximum of cycle 22 before the present extended minimum. We also found a strong correlation between the planetary torque and the observed sunspots international number around that maximum. We apply our results in a novel theory of Sun–planets interaction that it is sensitive to Sun barycentric dynamics and found a very important effect on the Sun’s capability of storing hypothetical reservoirs of potential energy that could be released by internal flows and might be related to the solar cycle. This process begins about 40 years before the solar angular momentum inversions, i.e., before Maunder Minimum, Dalton Minimum, and before the present extended minimum. Our conclusions suggest a dynamical characterization of peculiar prolonged solar minima. We discuss the possible implications of these results for the solar cycle including the present extended minimum. 相似文献
