Evidence of Hot Hydrogen in the Exosphere of Mars
Résumé
This work is to study the energetic hydrogen atoms present in the exosphere of Mars. Usually this population is not discernible from the thermal H population on account of the large scale height of Mars' atmosphere. However, recent observations under certain conditions with the Hubble Space Telescope reveal the signature of the existence of such a population in the exosphere of Mars. The goal of this study is to understand an characterize the properties of this population and determine its effects on the escape of water from Mars.
