We interpret this broadening as due to gravity removing the lowest energy atoms from the observed line-of-sight velocity distribution function. Growth in Doppler broadening ceases at the apex distance of ballistic bound atomic trajectories, effectively defining a boundary beyond which all gas escapes. Transitions from bound to escaping gas are expected to be universal in line profiles of planetary exospheres, and Mercury’s emissions are exemplar. Doppler broadening with altitude at the Moon and Europa cannot be attributed to this effect, however, and both offer important comparisons. Lunar sodium line profiles exhibit broadening on scales far too small for significant differences in the partitioning of bound and escaping gas, and instead superposed populations supplied by different source mechanisms may offer an explanation. Sodium linewidths at Europa continue to increase well beyond this satellite’s Hill sphere, an influence of their Keplerian motion around Jupiter. In each of these three cases, emission line morphology offers a novel diagnostic for evaluating the processes that promote atmospheric escape.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fspas.2025.1633524 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fspas.2025.1633524 2025-08-21T00:00:00Z Original Research Valery ShematovichDmitry Bisikalo 10 eV)—via charge exchange between high-energy solar wind protons and coronal thermal neutrals. These ENAs transfer solar wind energy into the Martian neutral atmosphere. Notably, this charge-exchange process serves as an active aeronomic mechanism for generating supra- and super-thermal hydrogen populations in Mars’ extended corona and may act as a potential driver for similar phenomena on other planets. The spatial and energy distributions of both non-thermal atomic hydrogen populations in the Martian extended corona were computed using kinetic Monte Carlo models. These non-thermal H fractions must be considered when interpreting remote observations of planetary coronae. Our calculations reveal that non-thermal escape rates can reach ∼26% of the thermal escape rate during aphelion and solar minimum conditions. This finding has significant implications for Mars’ atmospheric evolution: while current escape rates are modulated by solar activity, the more active young Sun likely drove substantially higher non-thermal escape. This mechanism may have played a key role in Mars’ long-term water loss.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fspas.2025.1608091 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fspas.2025.1608091 2025-07-22T00:00:00Z Original Research Vicki Toy-EdensWenli MoRobert C.
