- Suppression of hydrodynamic escape of an H2-rich early Earth atmosphere by radiative cooling of carbon oxides
Tatsuya Yoshida, Naoki Terada, Kiyoshi Kuramoto
Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 11, 1, Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 21 Nov. 2024
Scientific journal, Abstract
Radiative cooling by molecules is a crucial process for hydrodynamic escape, as it can efficiently remove the thermal energy driving the outflow, acquired through X-ray and extreme UV absorption. Carbon oxides, such as CO and CO2, and their photochemical products are anticipated to serve as vital radiative cooling sources not only in atmospheres dominated by carbon oxides but also in H2-rich atmospheres. However, their specific effects on the hydrodynamic escape, especially in H2-rich atmospheres, have been inadequately investigated. In this study, we conduct 1-D hydrodynamic escape simulations for H2-rich atmospheres incorporating CO, CO2, and their chemical products on an Earth-mass planet. We consider detailed radiative cooling processes and chemical networks related to carbon oxides to elucidate their impacts on the hydrodynamic escape. In the escape outflow, CO2 undergoes rapid photolysis, producing CO and atomic oxygen, while CO exhibits photochemical stability compared to CO2. The H2 oxidation by atomic oxygen results in the production of OH and H2O. Consequently, the hydrodynamic escape is significantly suppressed by the radiative cooling effects of CO, H2O, OH, and H3+ even when the basal mixing fraction of CO and CO2 is lower than ~ 0.01. These mechanisms extend the lifetime of H2-rich atmospheres by about one order of magnitude compared to the case of pure hydrogen atmospheres on early Earth, which also results in negligible escape of heavier carbon- and nitrogen-bearing molecules and noble gases. - Self-Shielding Enhanced Organics Synthesis in an Early Reduced Earth’s Atmosphere

Scientific journal, Context. Ch-type asteroids are distinctive among other dark asteroids in that they exhibit deep negative polarization branches (NPBs). Nevertheless, the physical and compositional properties that cause their polarimetric distinctiveness are less investigated.
Aims. We aim to investigate the polarimetric uniqueness of Ch-type asteroids by making databases of various observational quantities (i.e., spectroscopic and photometric properties as well as polarimetric ones) of dark asteroids.
Methods. We conducted an intensive polarimetric survey of 52 dark asteroids (including 31 Ch-type asteroids) in the RC band to increase the size of polarimetric samples. The observed data were compiled with previous polarimetric, spectroscopic, and photometric archival data to find their correlations.
Results. We find remarkable correlations between these observed quantities, particularly the depth of NPBs and their spectroscopic features associated with the hydrated minerals. The amplitude of the opposition effect in photometric properties also shows correlations with polarimetric and spectral properties. However, these observed quantities do not show noticeable correlations with the geometric albedo, thermal inertia, and diameter of asteroids.
Conclusions. Based on the observational evidence, we arrive at our conclusion that the submicrometer-sized structures (fibrous or flaky puff pastry-like structures in phyllosilicates) in the regolith particles could contribute to the distinctive NPBs of hydrated asteroids. - Volatile mass partitioned among atmosphere, mantle, and core in proto-Mars

Kiyoshi Kuramoto
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 52, 1, Annual Reviews, 15 Feb. 2024, [Peer-reviewed], [Invited], [Lead author]
English, Scientific journal, Two major hypotheses have been proposed for the origin of the Martian moons Phobos and Deimos: the in situ formation theory, supported by the fact that they have circular orbits nearly parallel to the Martian equator, and the asteroid capture theory, supported by the similarity of their reflectance spectra to those of carbonaceous asteroids. Regarding the in situ formation theory, recent theoretical studies have focused on the huge impact scenario, which proposes that debris ejected into orbits during the formation of a giant impact basin on Mars accumulated to form the Martian moons. On the other hand, gas drag from a Martian gas envelope composed of gravitationally attracted solar nebula gas has been proposed as a mechanism for trapping the approaching asteroidal objects in areocentric orbits. In particular, an object entering a temporarily captured orbit in the Martian gravitational sphere would easily evolve into a fully captured moon with a near-equatorial orbit under realistic gas densities. The upcoming Phobos sample return mission is expected to elucidate the origin of both moons, with implications for material transport in the early Solar System and the early evolution of Mars. ▪ The origin of Mars’ small moons, Phobos and Deimos, has long been an open question. ▪ The leading hypotheses are asteroid capture, inferred from their appearance like primitive asteroids, and giant impact, implied by the regularity of their orbits. ▪ The origin of Phobos will be precisely determined by a sample return mission to be conducted in the late 2020s to early 2030s. ▪ Determining the origin of the Martian moons will provide clues to clarifying how the parent planet Mars formed and came to have a habitable surface environment.

Scientific journal, Abstract
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission will launch a spacecraft in 2024 to return samples from Phobos in 2029. Curatorial work for the returned Phobos samples is critical for the sample allocation without degrading the sample integrity and subsequent sample analysis that will provide new constraints on the origin of Phobos and the evolution of the circum‐Mars environment. The Sample Analysis Working Team of the MMX is designing the sample curation protocol. The curation protocol consists of three phases: (1) quick analysis (extraction and mass spectrometry for gases), (2) pre‐basic characterization (bulk‐scale observation), and (3) basic characterization (grain‐by‐grain observation and allocation of the sample aliquots). Nondestructive analyses within the clean chamber (e.g., visible and near‐infrared spectral imaging) and outside the chamber (e.g., gas mass spectrometry) are incorporated into the curation flow in coordination with the MMX mission instrument teams for ground‐truthing the remote‐sensing data sets. The MMX curation/sample analysis flow enables the seamless integration between the sample and remote‐sensing data sets to maximize the scientific value of the collected Phobos samples. - Radiative Effects on the Formation of the Stably Stratified Layer in the Lower Atmosphere of Venus

Scientific journal - Less Effective Hydrodynamic Escape of H2–H2O Atmospheres on Terrestrial Planets Orbiting Pre-main-sequence M Dwarfs
Tatsuya Yoshida, Naoki Terada, Masahiro Ikoma, Kiyoshi Kuramoto
The Astrophysical Journal, 934, 2, 137, 137, American Astronomical Society, 01 Aug. 2022, [Peer-reviewed], [Last author]
English, Scientific journal, Abstract
Terrestrial planets currently in the habitable zones around M dwarfs likely experienced a long-term runaway-greenhouse condition because of a slow decline in host-star luminosity in its pre-main-sequence phase. Accordingly, they might have lost significant portions of their atmospheres including water vapor at high concentration by hydrodynamic escape induced by the strong stellar X-ray and extreme ultraviolet (XUV) irradiation. However, the atmospheric escape rates remain highly uncertain due partly to a lack of understanding of the effect of radiative cooling in the escape outflows. Here we carry out 1D hydrodynamic escape simulations for an H2–H2O atmosphere on a planet with mass of 1M⊕ considering radiative and chemical processes to estimate the atmospheric escape rate and follow the atmospheric evolution during the early runaway-greenhouse phase. We find that the atmospheric escape rate decreases with the basal H2O/H2 ratio due to the energy loss by the radiative cooling of H2O and chemical products such as OH and OH+: the escape rate of H2 becomes one order of magnitude smaller when the basal H2O/H2 = 0.1 than that of the pure hydrogen atmosphere. The timescale for H2 escape exceeds the duration of the early runaway-greenhouse phase, depending on the initial atmospheric amount and composition, indicating that H2 and H2O could be left behind after the end of the runaway-greenhouse phase. Our results suggest that temperate and reducing environments with oceans could be formed on some terrestrial planets around M dwarfs. - The Ganymede Laser Altimeter (GALA) for the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE): Mission, science, and instrumentation of its receiver modules

English, Scientific journal, The Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) is a science mission led by the European Space Agency, being developed for launch in 2023. The Ganymede Laser Altimeter (GALA) is an instrument onboard JUICE, whose main scientific goals are to understand ice tectonics based on topographic data, the subsurface structure by measuring tidal response, and small-scale roughness and albedo of the surface. In addition, from the perspective of astrobiology, it is imperative to study the subsurface ocean scientifically. The development of GALA has proceeded through an international collaboration between Germany (the lead), Japan, Switzerland, and Spain. Within this framework, the Japanese team (GALA-J) is responsible for developing three receiver modules: the Backend Optics (BEO), the Focal Plane Assembly (FPA), and the Analog Electronics Module (AEM). Like the German team, GALA-J also developed software to simulate the performance of the entire GALA system (performance model). In July 2020, the Proto-Flight Models of BEO, FPA, and AEM were delivered from Japan to Germany. This paper presents an overview of JUICE/GALA and its scientific objectives and describes the instrumentation, mainly focusing on Japan's contribution. - A polarimetric study of asteroids in comet-like orbits

English, Scientific journal, Context. Asteroids in comet-like orbits (ACOs) consist of asteroids and dormant comets. Due to their similar appearance, it is challenging to distinguish dormant comets from ACOs via general telescopic observations. Surveys for discriminating dormant comets from the ACO population have been conducted via spectroscopy or optical and mid-infrared photometry. However, they have not been conducted through polarimetry. Aims. We conducted the first polarimetric research of ACOs. Methods. We conducted a linear polarimetric pilot survey for three ACOs: (944) Hidalgo, (3552) Don Quixote, and (331471) 1984 QY1. These objects are unambiguously classified into ACOs in terms of their orbital elements (i.e., the Tisserand parameters with respect to Jupiter TJ significantly less than 3). Three ACOs were observed by the 1.6 m Pirka Telescope from UT 2016 May 25 to UT 2019 July 22 (13 nights). Results. We found that Don Quixote and Hidalgo have polarimetric properties similar to comet nuclei and D-type asteroids (optical analogs of comet nuclei). However, 1984 QY1 exhibited a polarimetric property consistent with S-type asteroids. We conducted a backward orbital integration to determine the origin of 1984 QY1, and found that this object was transported from the main belt into the current comet-like orbit via the 3:1 mean motion resonance with Jupiter. Conclusions. We conclude that the origins of ACOs can be more reliably identified by adding polarimetric data to the color and spectral information. This study would be valuable for investigating how the ice-bearing small bodies distribute in the inner Solar System. - Polarimetric properties of the near-Sun asteroid (155140) 2005 UD in comparison with other asteroids and meteoritic samples

English, Scientific journal, The investigation of asteroids near the Sun is important for understanding the final evolutionary stage of primitive Solar system objects. A near-Sun asteroid (NSA), (155140) 2005 UD, has orbital elements similar to those of (3200) Phaethon (the target asteroid for the JAXA's DESTINY+ mission). We conducted photometric and polarimetric observations of 2005 UD and found that this asteroid exhibits a polarization phase curve similar to that of Phaethon over a wide range of observed solar phase angles (α = 20-105°) but different from those of (101955) Bennu and (162173) Ryugu (asteroids composed of hydrated carbonaceous materials). At a low phase angle (α 30°), the polarimetric properties of these NSAs (2005 UD and Phaethon) are consistent with anhydrous carbonaceous chondrites, while the properties of Bennu are consistent with hydrous carbonaceous chondrites. We derived the geometric albedo, pV ∼0.1 (in the range of 0.088-0.109); mean V-band absolute magnitude, HV = 17.54 ± 0.02; synodic rotational period, $T_mathrm{rot} = 5.2388 pm 0.0022 , mathrm{h}$ (the two-peaked solution is assumed); and effective mean diameter, $D_mathrm{eff} = 1.32 pm 0.06 , mathrm{km}$. At large phase angles (α 80°), the polarization phase curve are likely explained by the dominance of large grains and the paucity of small micron-sized grains. We conclude that the polarimetric similarity of these NSAs can be attributed to the intense solar heating of carbonaceous materials around their perihelia, where large anhydrous particles with small porosity could be produced by sintering. - The MMX rover: performing in situ surface investigations on Phobos

English, Scientific journal, The Japanese MMX sample return mission to Phobos by JAXA will carry a rover developed by CNES and DLR that will be deployed on Phobos to perform in situ analysis of the Martian moon's surface properties. Past images of the surface of Phobos show that it is covered by a layer of regolith. However, the mechanical and compositional properties of this regolith are poorly constrained. In particular, from current remote images, very little is known regarding the particle sizes, their chemical composition, the packing density of the regolith as well as other parameters such as friction and cohesion that influence surface dynamics. Understanding the properties and dynamics of the regolith in the low-gravity environment of Phobos is important to trace back its history and surface evolution. Moreover, this information is also important to support the interpretation of data obtained by instruments onboard the main MMX spacecraft, and to minimize the risks involved in the spacecraft sampling operations. The instruments onboard the Rover are a Raman spectrometer (RAX), an infrared radiometer (miniRad), two forward-looking cameras for navigation and science purposes (NavCams), and two cameras observing the interactions of regolith and the rover wheels (WheelCams). The Rover will be deployed before the MMX spacecraft samples Phobos' surface and will be the first rover to drive on the surface of a Martian moon and in a very low gravity environment. - Martian moons exploration MMX: sample return mission to Phobos elucidating formation processes of habitable planets

English, Scientific journal, Martian moons exploration, MMX, is the new sample return mission planned by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) targeting the two Martian moons with the scheduled launch in 2024 and return to the Earth in 2029. The major scientific objectives of this mission are to determine the origin of Phobos and Deimos, to elucidate the early Solar System evolution in terms of volatile delivery across the snow line to the terrestrial planets having habitable surface environments, and to explore the evolutionary processes of both moons and Mars surface environment. To achieve these objectives, during a stay in circum-Martian space over about 3 years MMX will collect samples from Phobos along with close-up observations of this inner moon and carry out multiple flybys of Deimos to make comparative observations of this outer moon. Simultaneously, successive observations of the Martian atmosphere will also be made by utilizing the advantage of quasi-equatorial spacecraft orbits along the moons' orbits. - Science operation plan of Phobos and Deimos from the MMX spacecraft

English, Scientific journal, The science operations of the spacecraft and remote sensing instruments for the Martian Moon eXploration (MMX) mission are discussed by the mission operation working team. In this paper, we describe the Phobos observations during the first 1.5 years of the spacecraft's stay around Mars, and the Deimos observations before leaving the Martian system. In the Phobos observation, the spacecraft will be placed in low-altitude quasi-satellite orbits on the equatorial plane of Phobos and will make high-resolution topographic and spectroscopic observations of the Phobos surface from five different altitudes orbits. The spacecraft will also attempt to observe polar regions of Phobos from a three-dimensional quasi-satellite orbit moving out of the equatorial plane of Phobos. From these observations, we will constrain the origin of Phobos and Deimos and select places for landing site candidates for sample collection. For the Deimos observations, the spacecraft will be injected into two resonant orbits and will perform many flybys to observe the surface of Deimos over as large an area as possible. - Hydrodynamic escape of an impact-generated reduced proto-atmosphere on Earth

English, Scientific journal, The asteroid exploration project "Hayabusa2" has successfully returned samples from the asteroid (162173) Ryugu. In this study, we measured the linear polarization degrees of Ryugu using four ground-based telescopes from 2020 September 27 to December 25, covering a wide-phase angle (Sun-target-observer's angle) range from 28 degrees to 104 degrees. We found that the polarization degree of Ryugu reached 53% around a phase angle of 100 degrees, the highest value among all asteroids and comets thus far reported. The high polarization degree of Ryugu can be attributed to the scattering properties of its surface layers, in particular the relatively small contribution of multiply scattered light. Our polarimetric results indicate that Ryugu's surface is covered with large grains. On the basis of a comparison with polarimetric measurements of pulverized meteorites, we can infer the presence of submillimeter-sized grains on the surface layer of Ryugu. We also conjecture that this size boundary represents the grains that compose the aggregate. It is likely that a very brittle structure has been lost in the recovered samples, although they may hold a record of its evolution. Our data will be invaluable for future experiments aimed at reproducing the surface structure of Ryugu. - (85989) 1999 JD(6) : a first Barbarian asteroid detected by polarimetry in the NEA population

English, Scientific journal, Context. To investigate the physical properties of the surface layers of small Solar System objects, we take advantage of the phase-angle dependence of the linear polarization degree, which varies with albedo, composition, and other factors. In particular, the angle at which the positive and negative are reversed is a polarimetric parameter known as inversion angle. A group with large inversion angles (the so-called Barbarians) is unusual and is also noteworthy because of their association with meteorites.Aims. We identified an object with such a large inversion angle in the near-Earth asteroids and derived previously unknown parameters, including the maximum polarization degree. By comparing the polarimetric parameters and spectral properties of meteorites, we inferred the surface conditions based on the degree of polarization of the asteroid.Methods. We carried out multiband polarization imaging observations of an L-type near-Earth asteroid, (85989) 1999 JD(6), at the Hokkaido University Observatory in 2015 and 2019, covering a wide range of phase angles 30 degrees -105 degrees. Of the polarimetric parameters, we derived the maximum value, inversion angle, and the slope at that angle from the phase angle-polarization degree curve.Results. We found that the inversion angle and the maximum polarization degree of 1999 JD(6) are 27 degrees and 13%. The inversion angle is significantly larger than those of the majority of all asteroids observed before, but is consistent with that of Barbarian asteroids. 1999 JD(6) is the first example belonging to this group that is also among the near-Earth asteroids.Conclusions. We claim that 1999 JD(6) is a member of the Barbarians and has rougher surface particles than lunar regolith. - Identification of the infrasound signals emitted by explosive eruption of Mt.

The oxidized atmosphere implied by the Mn-rich rocks would basically be comprised of CO2 and H2O without any reduced greenhouse gases such as H-2 and CH4. So far, however, it has been thought that early Mars could not have been warm enough to sustain water in liquid form without the presence of reduced greenhouse gases. Here, we propose that H2O2 could have been the gas responsible for warming the surface of the oxidized early Mars. Our one-dimensional atmospheric model shows that only 1 ppm of H2O2 is enough to warm the planetary surface because of its strong absorption at far-infrared wavelengths, in which the surface temperature could have reached over 273 K for a CO2 atmosphere with a pressure of 3 bar. A wet and oxidized atmosphere is expected to maintain sufficient quantities of H2O2 gas in its upper atmosphere due to its rapid photochemical production in slow condensation conditions. Our results demonstrate that a warm and wet environment could have been maintained on an oxidized early Mars, thereby suggesting that there may be connections between its ancient atmospheric redox state and possible aqueous environment. - System definition of Martian Moons Exploration (MMX)

International conference proceedings, Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) is a mission to Martian moons under development in JAXA with international partners to be launched in 2024. This paper introduces the system definition and the latest status of MMX program. “How was water delivered to rocky planets and enabled the habitability of the solar system?” This is the key question to which MMX is going to answer in the context of our minor body exploration strategy preceded by Hayabusa and Hayabusa2. Solar system formation theories suggest that small bodies as comets and asteroids were delivery capsules of water, volatiles, organic compounds etc. from outside of the snow line to entitle the rocky planet region to be habitable. Mars was at the gateway position to witness the process, which naturally leads us to explore two Martian moons, Phobos and Deimos, to answer to the key question. The goal of MMX is to reveal the origin of the Martian moons, and then to make a progress in our understanding of planetary system formation and of primordial material transport around the border between the inner- and the outer-part of the early solar system. The mission is to survey two Martian moons, and return samples from one of them, Phobos. In view of the launch in 2024, the phase-A study was completed in February, 2020. The mission definition, mission scenario, system definition, critical technologies and programmatic framework are introduced int this paper. - The Importance of Phobos Sample Return for Understanding the Mars-Moon System

English, Scientific journal, Phobos and Deimos occupy unique positions both scientifically and programmatically on the road to the exploration of the solar system. Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) plans a Phobos sample return mission (MMX: Martian Moons eXploration). The MMX spacecraft is scheduled to be launched in 2024, orbit both Phobos and Deimos (multiple flybys), and retrieve and return >10 g of Phobos regolith back to Earth in 2029. The Phobos regolith represents a mixture of endogenous Phobos building blocks and exogenous materials that contain solar system projectiles (e.g., interplanetary dust particles and coarser materials) and ejecta from Mars and Deimos. Under the condition that the representativeness of the sampling site(s) is guaranteed by remote sensing observations in the geologic context of Phobos, laboratory analysis (e.g., mineralogy, bulk composition, O-Cr-Ti isotopic systematics, and radiometric dating) of the returned sample will provide crucial information about the moon's origin: capture of an asteroid or in-situ formation by a giant impact. If Phobos proves to be a captured object, isotopic compositions of volatile elements (e.g., D/H, C-13/C-12, N-15/N-14) in inorganic and organic materials will shed light on both organic-mineral-water/ice interactions in a primitive rocky body originally formed in the outer solar system and the delivery process of water and organics into the inner rocky planets. - Sluggish hydrodynamic escape of early Martian atmosphere with reduced chemical compositions

Icarus, 345, ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, Jul. 2020, [Peer-reviewed]
English, Scientific journal, Proto-Mars growing within the solar nebula may have maintained both the hydrogen-dominated solar component and the impact degassed component enriched in H-2, CH4 and CO as a proto-atmosphere. Such a protoatmosphere would experience hydrodynamic escape early in the history of Mars but its flux and duration of reduced composition remain highly uncertain. Here we develop a one-dimensional hydrodynamic escape model which includes radiative cooling processes and photochemical processes for a multi-component atmosphere and estimate the amount of atmosphere lost by hydrodynamic escape and the duration of early Martian atmosphere with reduced chemical compositions. The mass escape rate decreases more than one order of magnitude with increasing the mixing fraction of CH4 and CO >= 10% mainly because of the energy loss by radiative cooling by these infrared active chemical molecules. Concurrently, the mass fractionation between H-2 and other heavier species occurs more remarkably. Assuming that carbon species equivalent to 1 bar of CO2 was left behind when most H-2 completed its hydrodynamic escape, it possibly takes as long as 30 Myr for most H-2 to be lost by hydrodynamic escape. The total amount of CH4 and CO lost by hydrodynamic escape exceeds 10 bar, equivalent to 20 bar of CO2 when the initial atmosphere is hydrogen-rich, which may explain the paucity of CO2 on Mars compared to Earth and Venus. The isotopic fractionation during hydrodynamic escape is not enough to elevate the D/H ratio from the proto-solar value to the present value, but it can explain the C-13/C-12 ratio of present Mars. The reduced atmosphere with enriched in CH4 and CO may further continue until these species are almost fully oxidized through photolysis and hydrogen escape. Our result suggests that a reduced environment may have been kept and played an important role in producing warm and wet climate and serving organic matters on Mars. - Obliquity of an Earth-like Planet from Frequency Modulation of Its Direct-imaged Lightcurve: Mock Analysis from General Circulation Model Simulation

English, Scientific journal, Direct-imaging techniques of exoplanets have made significant progress recently and will eventually enable monitoring of photometric and spectroscopic signals of Earth-like habitable planets. The presence of clouds, however, would remain as one of the most uncertain components in deciphering such direct-imaged signals of planets. We attempt to examine how the planetary obliquity produces different cloud patterns by performing a series of general circulation model simulation runs using a set of parameters relevant for our Earth. Then we use the simulated photometric lightcurves to compute their frequency modulation that is due to the planetary spin-orbit coupling over an entire orbital period, and we attempt to see to what extent one can estimate the obliquity of an Earth twin. We find that it is possible to estimate the obliquity of an Earth twin within the uncertainty of several degrees with a dedicated 4 m space telescope at 10 pc away from the system if the stellar flux is completely blocked. While our conclusion is based on several idealized assumptions, a frequency modulation of a directly imaged Earth-like planet offers a unique methodology to determine its obliquity. - D/H Ratio in the Interiors of Rocky Protoplanets Accreting in the Solar Nebula

Astrophysical Journal, 889, 1, IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 23 Jan. 2020, [Peer-reviewed]
English, Scientific journal, The deuterium/hydrogen (D/H) ratio of primordial water partitioned into a planetary interior seems to be different on Earth and Mars. Water from volcanic rocks originating from Earth's deep mantle has a low D/H ratio with high He-3/He-4 ratios, implying that it was inherited partially from the solar nebula. In contrast, the D/H ratio of water in the Martian meteorites considered to represent the mantle does not trend toward that of the solar nebula. These differences may be owing to differences in the types of atmospheric structures formed on protoplanets accreting in the solar nebula. Using a 1D radiative-equilibrium model, we analyze the thermal structure of a hybrid-type protoatmosphere in which the solar nebula component dominates the upper layer while a degassed component dominates the lower layer. Our analysis implies Mars-sized protoplanets maintain a hybrid-type protoatmosphere and the D/H ratio of the lower atmosphere resembles that of the building blocks. Conversely, when the mass is larger than Mars-sized, the compositional stratification is collapsed by convective mixing of the solar nebula component with the degassed component, and the D/H ratio approaches that of the solar nebula. This tendency becomes stronger when the planetary mass is larger. If water vapor is distributed through a magma ocean into the planetary interior, Mars-sized protoplanets are likely to reflect the D/H ratios of the building blocks, while larger protoplanets are likely to have acquired a solar-nebula-like D/H ratio. - Diagnosing the clumpy protoplanetary disk of the UXor type young star GM Cephei

The Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) is a mission by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, JAXA, to the Martian moons Phobos and Deimos. It will primarily investigate the origin of this moon by bringing samples back from Phobos to Earth and deliver a small (about 25 kg) Rover to the surface. The Rover is a contribution by the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Its currently considered scientific payload consists of a thermal mapper (miniRAD), a Raman spectrometer (RAX) a stereo pair of cameras looking forward (NavCAM) and two cameras looking at the interface wheel-surface (WheelCAM) and consequent Phobos' regolith mechanical properties. The cameras will serve for both, technological and scientific needs. The MMX rover will be delivered from an altitude of <100 m and start uprighting and deploying wheels and a solar generator after having come to rest on the surface. It is planned to operate for three months on Phobos and provide unprecedented science while moving for a few meters to hundreds of meters. MMX will be launched in September 2024 and inserted into Mars orbit in 2025, the Rover delivery and operations are planned for 2026-2027. - Mission definition of Martian Moons exploration (MMX)

English, Scientific journal, Many icy Solar System bodies possess subsurface oceans. On Pluto, Sputnik Planitia's location near the equator suggests the presence of a subsurface ocean and a locally thinned ice shell. To maintain an ocean, Pluto needs to retain heat inside. On the other hand, to maintain large variations in its thickness, Pluto's ice shell needs to be cold. Here we show, by thermal evolution and viscous relaxation calculations, that the presence of a thin layer of clathrate hydrates (gas hydrates) at the base of the ice shell can explain both the long-term survival of the ocean and the maintenance of shell thickness contrasts. Clathrate hydrates act as a thermal insulator, preventing the ocean from completely freezing while keeping the ice shell cold and immobile. The most likely clathrate guest gas is methane, derived from precursor bodies and/or cracking of organic materials in the hot rocky core. Nitrogen molecules initially contained and/or produced later in the core would probably not be trapped as clathrate hydrates, instead supplying the nitrogen-rich surface and atmosphere. The formation of a thin clathrate hydrate layer cap to a subsurface ocean may be an important generic mechanism to maintain long-lived subsurface oceans in relatively large but minimally heated icy satellites and Kuiper belt objects. - Significantly high polarization degree of the very low-albedo asteroid (152679) 1998 KU2

English, Scientific journal, We present a unique and significant polarimetric result regarding the near-Earth asteroid (152679) 1998 KU2, which has a very low geometric albedo. From our observations, we find that the linear polarization degrees of 1998 KU2 are 44.6 +/- 0.5% in the R-C band and 44.0 +/- 0.6% in the V band at a solar phase angle of 81.0 degrees. These values are the highest of any known airless body in the solar system (i.e., high-polarization comets, asteroids, and planetary satellites) at similar phase angles. This polarimetric observation is not only the first for primitive asteroids at large phase angles, but also for low-albedo (<0.1) airless bodies. Based on spectroscopic similarities and polarimetric measurements of materials that have been sorted by size in previous studies, we conjecture that 1998 KU2 has a highly microporous regolith structure comprising nano-sized carbon grains on the surface. - Mission design of Martian moons exploration (MMX)

International conference proceedings, Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) is a mission under study in ISAS/JAXA to be launched in 2024. This paper introduces the mission design of MMX mission. “How was water delivered to rocky planets and enabled the habitability of the solar system?†This is the key question to which MMX is going to answer. Solar system formation theories suggest that rocky planets must have been born dry. Delivery of water, volatiles, organic compounds etc. from outside the snow line entitles the rocky planet region to be habitable. Small bodies as comets and asteroids play the role of delivery capsules. Then, dynamics of small bodies around the snow line in the early solar system is the issue that needs to be understood. Mars was at the gateway position to witness the process, which naturally leads us to explore two Martian moons, Phobos and Deimos, to answer to the key question. The goal of MMX is to reveal the origin of the Martian moons, and then to make a progress in our understanding of planetary system formation and of primordial material transport around the border between the inner- and the outer-part of the early solar system. The mission is to survey two Martian moons, and return samples from one of them. Following the mission concepts study results presented in the previous conference, the following items will be reported in this paper. First, based on the mission goals and objectives defined, the requirements to the systems and operations are derived and their feasibility is evaluated. Second, as to the key technologies issues identified, partial models are built and their performance is evaluated. And third, collaborations with overseas space agency are discussed and the programmatic framework is defined. - Breaking the Habit: The Peculiar 2016 Eruption of the Unique Recurrent Nova M31N 2008-12a

Oxygen in the Solar System, 68, 1, 187, 218, Mineralogical Society of America, 2018, [Peer-reviewed]
English, Scientific journal, In this chapter we compare and contrast chemical and photochemical pathways for mass-independent fractionation (MIF) of oxygen isotopes in the solar nebula. We begin by assessing the galactic evolution model for oxygen isotope variation in the Solar System in order to compare the predictions of a leading nucleosynthetic model with those of the chemical models. There are two fundamentally different classes of possible chemical mechanisms for mass-independent oxygen isotope fractionation in the early Solar System. One is symmetry-induced intramolecular vibrational disequilibrium of vibrationally excited reactant oxygen-bearing molecules. The other is isotope selective photodissociation of CO coupled with self-shielding and formation of H(2)O- Symmetry-induced fractionation is an experimentally verified process with solid theoretical foundations. It is observed to occur in Earth's atmosphere. It could have resulted in preservation of oxygen MIF effects only if mediated by dust grain surfaces. CO self-shielding is an attractive hypothesis for the origin of mass-independent oxygen isotope fractionation in the early Solar System because it appeals to a process that apparently occurs in the interstellar medium, but it lacks experimental verification. Three astrophysical settings for CO self-shielding are proposed as sites for generating Delta(17)O variability in the early Solar System. One is the inner annulus of the protostellar disk at relatively high temperature. Another is the surface of the disk high above the midplane where light from the central star grazes theas and dust of the disk, resulting in a zone of active CO predissociation and self-shielding. Interstellar light illuminating the disk at high incident angles causes a similar horizon of CO photodestruction. Variations in (16)O could also have been inherited from self-shielding by CO in the molecular cloud that gave rise to the protosun. The overall consequence of CO self-shielding is conversion of CO gas to (16)O-poor H(2)O. A key difference between galactic evolution, chemically-induced MIF effects, and CO self-shielding is the predicted relative oxygen isotopic compositions of primeval dust and the Sun. Therefore, the oxygen isotopic composition of the Sun will be a crucial arbiter that may permit us to narrow the list of possible origins for oxygen MIF in the early Solar System. - Extremely strong polarization of an active asteroid (3200) Phaethon

English, Scientific journal, The near-Earth asteroid (3200) Phaethon is the parent body of the Geminid meteor stream. Phaethon is also an active asteroid with a very blue spectrum. We conducted polarimetric observations of this asteroid over a wide range of solar phase angles a during its close approach to the Earth in autumn 2016. Our observation revealed that Phaethon exhibits extremely large linear polarization: P = 50.0 +/- 1.1% at a = 106.5 degrees, and its maximum is even larger. The strong polarization implies that Phaethon's geometric albedo is lower than the current estimate obtained through radiometric observation. This possibility stems from the potential uncertainty in Phaethon's absolute magnitude. An alternative possibility is that relatively large grains (similar to 300 mu m in diameter, presumably due to extensive heating near its perihelion) dominate this asteroid's surface. In addition, the asteroid's surface porosity, if it is substantially large, can also be an effective cause of this polarization. - D/H ratio of inner proto planets

Scientific journal - Formation of a hybrid-type proto-atmosphere on Mars accreting in the solar nebula
Hiroaki Saito, Kiyoshi Kuramoto
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 475, 1, 1274, 1287, Oxford University Press ({OUP}), 2017, [Peer-reviewed]
English, Scientific journal, Recent studies of the chronology of Martian meteorites suggest that the growth of Mars was almost complete within a few Myr after the birth of the Solar system. During such rapid accretion, proto-Mars likely gravitationally maintained both the solar nebula component and the impact degassing component, containing H2O vapour and reduced gas species, as a proto-atmosphere to be called a hybrid-type proto-atmosphere. Here we numerically analyse the mass and composition of the degassed component and the atmospheric thermal structure sustained by accretional heating. Our results predict that a growing Mars possibly acquired a massive and hot hybrid-type proto-atmosphere with surface pressure and temperature greater than several kbar and 2000 K, respectively, which is sufficient to produce a deep magma ocean. In such a high-temperature and high-pressure environment, a significant amount of H2O, CH4, CO, and H-2 is expected to be partitioned into the planetary interior, although this would strongly depend on the dynamics of the magma ocean and mantle solidification. The dissolved H2O may explain the wet Martian mantle implied from basaltic Martian meteorites. Along with the remnant reduced atmosphere after the hydrodynamic atmospheric escape, dissolved reduced gas species may have maintained an earliest Martian surface environment that allowed prebiotic chemical evolution and liquid H2O activities. - The circulation pattern and day-night heat transport in the atmosphere of a synchronously rotating aquaplanet: Dependence on planetary rotation rate

The entire planetary surface is covered with a swamp ocean. The value of planetary rotation rate is varied from zero to the Earth's, while other parameters such as planetary radius, mean molecular weight and total mass of atmospheric dry components, and solar constant are set to the present Earth's values. The integration results show that the atmosphere reaches statistically equilibrium states for all runs; none of the calculated cases exemplifies the runaway greenhouse state. The circulation patterns obtained are classified into four types: Type-I characterized by the dominance of a day-night thermally direct circulation, Type-II characterized by a zonal wave number one resonant Rossby wave over a meridionally broad westerly jet on the equator, Type-III characterized by a long time scale north-south asymmetric variation, and Type-IV characterized by a pair of mid-latitude westerly jets. With the increase of planetary rotation rate, the circulation evolves from Type-I to Type-II and then to Type-III gradually and smoothly, whereas the change from Type-Ill to Type-IV is abrupt and discontinuous. Over a finite range of planetary rotation rate, both Types-III and -IV emerge as statistically steady states, constituting multiple equilibria. In spite of the substantial changes in circulation, the net energy transport from the day side to the night side remains almost insensitive to planetary rotation rate, although the partition into dry static energy and latent heat energy transports changes. The reason for this notable insensitivity is that the outgoing longwave radiation over the broad area of the day side is constrained by the radiation limit of a moist atmosphere, so that the transport to the night side, which is determined as the difference between the incoming solar radiation and the radiation limit, cannot change greatly.

English, International conference proceedings, © Copyright 2017 by the International Astronautical Federation (IAF). All rights reserved. Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) is a mission under study in ISAS/JAXA to be launched in 2020s. This paper introduces the concept of MMX mission. "How was water delivered to rocky planets and enabled the habitability of the solar system?" This is the key question to which MMX is going to answer. Solar system formation theories suggest that rocky planets must have been born dry. Delivery of water, volatiles, organic compounds etc. from outside the snow line entitles the rocky planet region to be habitable. Small bodies as comets and asteroids play the role of delivery capsules. Then, dynamics of small bodies around the snow line in the early solar system is the issue that needs to be understood. Mars was at the gateway position to witness the process, which naturally leads us to explore two Martian moons, Phobos and Deimos, to answer to the key question. The goal of MMX is to reveal the origin of the Martian moons, and then to make a progress in our understanding of planetary system formation and of primordial material transport around the border between the inner- and the outer-part of the early solar system. On the origin of Martian moons, there are two leading hypotheses, "Captured primordial asteroid" and "Giant Impact". We decide to collect samples from a Martian moon to conclude this discussion, and on the conclusion, to investigate further to improve our understanding of material distributions and transports at the edge of the inner part of the early solar system as well as of planetary formations. Moreover, circum-Martian environment will be measured and Martian atmosphere will be observed to improve our views of evolutions of Martian moons as well as Mars surface environmental transition. In the conceptual design phase, the goals and objectives of the mission are defined, and the feasibility of the mission is evaluated. Fundamental engineering options are listed up, and trade-off studies are conducted to define baseline plan. Key technology issues are identified and their technology readiness is evaluated. The results will be shown in the paper. - Tidal deformation of Ganymede: Sensitivity of Love numbers on the interior structure

English, Scientific journal, Tidal deformation of icy satellites provides crucial information on their subsurface structures. In this study, we investigate the parameter dependence of the tidal displacement and potential Love numbers (i.e., h(2) and k(2), respectively) of Ganymede. Our results indicate that Love numbers for Ganymede models without a subsurface ocean are not necessarily smaller than those with a subsurface ocean. The phase lag, however, depends primarily on the presence/absence of a subsurface ocean. Thus, the determination of the phase lag would be of importance to infer whether Ganymede possesses a subsurface ocean or not based only on geodetic measurements. Our results also indicate that the major control on Love numbers is the thickness of the ice shell if Ganymede possesses a subsurface ocean. This result, however, does not necessarily indicate that measurement of either of h(2) or k(2) alone is sufficient to estimate the shell thickness; while a thin shell leads to large h(2) and k(2) independent of parameters, a thick shell does not necessarily lead to small h(2) and k(2). We found that to reduce the uncertainty in the shell thickness, constraining k(2) in addition to h(2) is necessary, highlighting the importance of collaborative analyses of topography and gravity field data. - A review by the chief editors of some of the most popular papers published by PEPS in 2014–2015

English, Scientific journal, The solidification of the Lunar Magma Ocean (LMO) and formation of impact basins are important events that took place on the early Moon. The relative timing of these events, however, is poorly constrained. The aim of this study is to constrain the formation ages of old impact basins based on inferences of their thermal state. Most proposed basins formed before Pre-Nectarian (PN) 5 stage do not exhibit clear concentric features in either topography or gravity, suggesting substantial viscous lateral flow in the crust. Recent geodetic measurements reveal that the lunar crust is thinner than previously estimated, indicating that an extremely high crustal temperature is required for lateral flow to occur. In this study, we calculate lunar thermal evolution and viscoelastic deformation of basins and investigate the thermal state at the time of basin formation using recent crustal thickness models. We find that a Moho temperature >1300-1400 K at the time of basin formation is required for substantial viscous relaxation of topography to occur; the implied elastic thickness at the time of loading is <30 km. Such a high temperature can be maintained only for a short time (i.e., <50 Myr for most conditions) after solidification of the LMO or after mantle overturn if it took place; relaxed impact basins forming >= 150 Myr later than LMO solidification are unlikely. This result is in conflict with an intensive Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB) model, which assumes that most impact basins were formed at similar to 3.9 Ga, since it requires LMO solidification time much later than previous theoretical estimates. Either the LHB was moderate, or the majority of proposed early PN basins were not in fact formed by impacts. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc.

English, Scientific journal, A series of long-term numerical simulations of moist convection in Jupiter's atmosphere is performed in order to investigate the idealized characteristics of the vertical structure of multi-composition clouds and the convective motions associated with them, varying the deep abundances of condensable gases and the autoconversion time scale, the latter being one of the most questionable parameters in cloud microphysical parameterization. The simulations are conducted using a two-dimensional cloud resolving model that explicitly represents the convective motion and microphysics of the three cloud components, H2O, NH3, and NH4SH imposing a body cooling that substitutes the net radiative cooling. The results are qualitatively similar to those reported in Sugiyama et al. (Sugiyama, K. et al. [2011]. Intermittent cumulonimbus activity breaking the three-layer cloud structure of Jupiter. Geophys. Res. Lett. 38, L13201. doi:10.1029/2011GL047878): stable layers associated with condensation and chemical reaction act as effective dynamical and compositional boundaries, intense cumulonimbus clouds develop with distinct temporal intermittency, and the active transport associated with these clouds results in the establishment of mean vertical profiles of condensates and condensable gases that are distinctly different from the hitherto accepted three-layered structure (e.g., Atreya, S.K., Romani, P.N. [1985]. Photochemistry and clouds of Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus. In: Recent Advances in Planetary Meteorology. Cambridge Univ. Press, London, pp. 17-68). Our results also demonstrate that the period of intermittent cloud activity is roughly proportional to the deep abundance of H2O gas. The autoconversion time scale does not strongly affect the results, except for the vertical profiles of the condensates. Changing the autoconversion time scale by a factor of 100 changes the intermittency period by a factor of less than two, although it causes a dramatic increase in the amount of condensates in the upper troposphere.
The moist convection layer becomes potentially unstable with respect to an air parcel rising from below the H2O lifting condensation level (LCL) well before the development of cumulonimbus clouds. The instability accumulates until an appropriate trigger is provided by the H2O condensate that falls down through the H2O LCL; the H2O condensate drives a downward flow below the H2O LCL as a result of the latent cooling associated with the re-evaporation of the condensate, and the returning updrafts carry moist air from below to the moist convection layer. Active cloud development is terminated when the instability is completely exhausted. The period of intermittency is roughly equal to the time obtained by dividing the mean temperature increase, which is caused by active cumulonimbus development, by the body cooling rate. 2013 The Authors.

Scientific journal, Based on observations from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Subaru Telescope, we have discovered that Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto are bright around 1.5 μm even when not directly lit by sunlight. The observations were conducted with non-sidereal tracking on Jupiter outside of the field of view to reduce the stray light subtraction uncertainty due to the close proximity of Jupiter. Their eclipsed luminosity was 10 -6 -10 -7 of their uneclipsed brightness, which is low enough that this phenomenon has been undiscovered until now. In addition, Europa in eclipse was < 1/10 of the others at 1.5 μm, a potential clue to the origin of the source of luminosity. Likewise, Ganymede observations were attempted at 3.6 μm by the Spitzer Space Telesc ope, but it was not detected, suggesting a significant wavelength dependence. It is still unknown why they are luminous even when in the Jovian shadow, but forward-scattered sunlight by hazes in the Jovian upper atmosphere is proposed as the most plausible candidate. If this is the case, observations of these Galilean satellites while eclipsed by the Jovian shadow provide us with a new technique to investigate the Jovian atmospheric composition. Investigating the transmission spectrum of Jupiter by this method is important for investigating the atmosphere of extrasolar giant planets by transit spectroscopy. © 2014.

English, Scientific journal, Hydrodynamic escape of hydrogen driven by solar extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation heating is numerically simulated by using the constrained interpolation profile scheme, a high-accuracy scheme for solving the one-dimensional advection equation. For a wide range of hydrogen number densities at the lower boundary and solar EUV fluxes, more than half of EUV heating energy is converted to mechanical energy of the escaping hydrogen. Less energy is lost by downward thermal conduction even giving low temperature for the atmospheric base. This result differs from a previous numerical simulation study that yielded much lower escape rates by employing another scheme in which relatively strong numerical diffusion is implemented. Because the solar EUV heating effectively induces hydrogen escape, the hydrogen mixing ratio was likely to have remained lower than 1 vol% in the anoxic Earth atmosphere during the Archean era.

English, Scientific journal, Numerical experiments are performed in order to investigate an MHD dynamo in a rotating spherical shell with stress-free top and no-slip bottom boundaries. The Ekman number, the Prandtl number, and the ratio of inner to outer radii are fixed as 10(-3), 1, and 0.35, respectively. The magnetic Prandtl number is varied from 5 to 50, and the modified Rayleigh number is increased from 1.5 to 10 times the critical Rayleigh number. The initial imposed magnetic field is either a weak or strong magnetic field, where the magnetic energy of the initial field is approximately two orders of magnitude smaller or larger than the kinetic energy of the quasi-steady state of non-magnetic thermal convection.For cases involving a weak initial magnetic field, self-sustained dynamo solutions are established when the magnetic Prandtl number is larger than or equal to 5, and the modified Rayleigh number is larger than or equal to 5 times the critical Rayleigh number. The solutions are categorized as a weak field-dynamo, where the mean magnetic energy is one order of magnitude smaller than the mean kinetic energy. The dynamo solutions are characterized by a radially two-layer spatial structure. The upper layer is dominated by a strong prograde zonal mean zonal flow with large-scale prograde propagating spiral vortices having a longitudinal wavenumber of 3. Toroidal kinetic energy is converted to toroidal magnetic energy through stretching of the field lines by large-scale prograde propagating spiral vortices. On the other hand, the lower layer contains small-scale retrograde propagating columnar convective vortices having a longitudinal wavenumber of 8. The magnetic field lines are not concentrated in the vortices, but rather wind around the vortices in each layer. Poloidal kinetic energy is converted to poloidal magnetic energy through winding of the field lines around small-scale retrograde propagating columnar convective vortices.For cases involving a strong initial magnetic field, self-sustained dynamo solutions are established when the magnetic Prandtl number is greater than or equal to 4 and the modified Rayleigh number is greater than or equal to 3 times the critical Rayleigh number. In contrast with the cases involving a weak initial magnetic field, all of the dynamo solutions are strong-field solutions.Bistability is observed when the magnetic Prandtl number is 5, and the modified Rayleigh number is approximately equal to 10 times the critical Rayleigh number, where weak-field and strong-field dynamo solutions coexist. However, transition between the weak-field and strong-field solutions does not occur in this case. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

English, Scientific journal, Iapetus, one of the saturnian moons, has an extreme albedo contrast between the leading and trailing hemispheres. The origin of this albedo dichotomy has led to several hypotheses, however it remains controversial. To clarify the origin of the dichotomy, the key approach is to investigate the detailed distribution of the dark material. Recent studies of impact craters and surface temperature from Cassini spacecraft data implied that sublimation of H(2)O ice can occur on Iapetus' surface. This ice sublimation can change the albedo distribution on the moon with time.In this study, we evaluate the effect of ice sublimation and simulate the temporal change of surface albedo. We assume the dark material and the bright ice on the surface to be uniformly mixed with a certain volume fraction, and the initial albedo distribution to incorporate the dark material deposits on the surface. That is, the albedo at the apex is lowest and concentrically increases in a sinusoidal pattern. This situation simulates that dark materials existed around the Iapetus' orbit billions of years ago, and the synchronously rotating Iapetus swept the material and then deposited it on its surface. The evolution of the surface albedo during 4.0 Gyr is simulated by estimating the surface temperature from the insolation energy on Iapetus including the effect of Saturn's eccentricity and Iapetus' obliquity precession, and evaluating the sublimation rate of H(2)O ice from the Iapetus' surface.As a result, we found that the distribution of the surface albedo changed dramatically after 4.0 Gyr of evolution. The sublimation has three important effects on the resultant surface albedo. First, the albedo in the leading hemisphere has significantly decreased to approach the minimum value. Second, the albedo distribution has been elongated along the equator. Third, the edge of the low albedo region has become clear. Considering the effect of ice sublimation, the current albedo distribution can be reconstructed from the sinusoidal albedo distribution, suggesting the apex-antapex cratering asymmetry as a candidate for the origin of the albedo dichotomy. From the model analysis, we obtained an important aspect that the depth of the turn-over layer where the darkening process proceeded for 4 Gyr should be an order of 10 cm, which is consistent with evaluation from the Cassini radar observations.

English, Scientific journal, A long-term numerical simulation is performed to investigate idealized characteristics of the cloud layer of Jupiter's atmosphere using a two-dimensional cloud convection model that treats thermodynamics and microphysics of the three cloud components, H(2)O, NH(3), and NH(4)SH. A prominent result obtained is intermittent emergence of vigorous cumulonimbus clouds rising from the H(2)O condensation level to the tropopause. Due to the active transport associated with these clouds, the mean vertical distributions of cloud particles and condensible gases are distinctly different from the hitherto accepted three-layered structure; considerable amounts of H(2)O and NH(4)SH cloud particles exist above the NH(3) condensation level, while the mixing ratios of all condensible gases decrease with height from the H(2)O condensation level. The mean vertical profile of NH(3) vapor is consistent with the results of radio observations in that the abundance of NH(3) is subsolar below the NH(3) cloud base. Citation: Sugiyama, K., K.

English, Scientific journal, Oxygen isotopic composition of our solar system is believed to have resulted from mixing of two isotopically distinct nebular reservoirs, O-16-rich and O-17,O-18-rich relative to Earth. The nature and composition of the O-17,O-18-rich reservoir are poorly constrained. We report an in situ discovery of a chemically and isotopically unique material distributed ubiquitously in fine-grained matrix of a primitive carbonaceous chondrite Acfer 094. This material formed by oxidation of Fe, Ni-metal and sulfides by water either in the solar nebula or on a planetesimal. Oxygen isotopic composition of this material indicates that the water was highly enriched in O-17 and O-18 (delta O-17,18(SMOW) = + 180 parts per thousand per mil), providing the first evidence for an extremely O-17,O-18-rich reservoir in the early solar system. - Origin and evolution of oxygen isotopic compositions of the solar system

English, Scientific journal, The dependency of static stability N-2 of the Jovian atmospheres on the abundances of condensible elements is considered by calculating the moist adiabatic profiles. An optimal minimization method of the Gibbs free energy is utilized to obtain equilibrium compositions in order to cover a variety of basic elements. It is shown that CH4 is one of the dominant contributors to producing a stable layer in the Uranian atmosphere. On Jupiter, R. K. Achterberg and A. P. Ingersoll (1989) have shown that, at low water abundances, N-2 is proportional to the H2O abundance. In the present study, we show that this relationship does not hold when the H2O abundance is larger than approximately 5 x solar. A rough estimation of wave speed indicates that the abundance of 10 x solar is marginal to explain the SL9-induced wave speed as that of an internal gravity wave. - Molecular cloud origin hypothesis for the Oxygen isotopic heterogeneity in the solar system

English, Scientific journal, Meteorites and their components have anomalous oxygen isotopic compositions characterized by large variations in 18O/16O and 17O/16O ratios. On the basis of recent observations of star-forming regions and models of accreting protoplanetary disks, we suggest that these variations may originate in a parent molecular cloud by ultraviolet photodissociation processes. Materials with anomalous isotopic compositions were then transported into the solar nebula by icy dust grains during the collapse of the cloud. The icy dust grains drifted toward the Sun in the disk, and their subsequent evaporation resulted in the 17O- and 18O-enrichment of the inner disk gas. - An experiment of interactive remote lectures on earth and planetary science connecting a high school with an university

Japanese - Role of H2O and CO2 ices in martian climate changes
Yokohata, T., Odaka, M., Kuramoto, K.
Icarus, 159, 2, 439, 448, ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2002, [Peer-reviewed]
English, Scientific journal, In order to study the stability of martian climate, we constructed a two-dimensional (horizontal-vertical) energy balance model. The long-term CO2 mass exchange process between the atmosphere and CO2 ice caps is investigated with particular attention to the effect of planetary ice distribution on the climate stability. Our model calculation suggests that high atmospheric pressure presumed for past Mars would be unstabilized if H2O ice widely prevailed. As a result, a cold climate state might have been achieved by the condensation of atmospheric CO2 onto ice caps. On the other hand, the low atmospheric pressure, which is buffered by the CO2 ice cap and likely close to the present pressure, would be unstabilized if the CO2 ice albedo decreased. This may have led the climate into a warm state with high atmospheric pressure owing to complete evaporation of CO2 ice cap. Through the albedo feedback mechanisms of H2O and CO2 ices in the atmosphere-ice cap system, Mars may have experienced warm and cold climates episodically in its history.

Japanese- Accretion, core formation, H and C evolution of the Earth and Mars
Kiyoshi Kuramoto
Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 100, 1-4, 3, 20, Elsevier, 1997
English, Scientific journal, Recent understandings of planetary accretion have suggested that accumulation of a small number of large planetesimals dominates intermediate to final growth stages of the terrestrial planets, with impact velocity high enough to induce extensive melting of the planetesimal and target materials, resulting in formation of a large molten region in which gravitational segregation of silicate and metal, that is, core formation proceeds. In case of homogeneous accretion, volatiles contained in each planetesimal are likely subjected to partitioning among gas, silicate melt, and molten metallic iron at significantly high temperatures and pressures in such a massive molten region. Each phase would subsequently form the proto-atmosphere, -mantle, or -core, respectively. Such chemical reprocessing of H and C associated with core formation, which is followed by both degassing from mantle and atmospheric escape, may result in a diverse range of H2O/CO2 in planetary surface environments, which mainly depends on the H and C content relative to metallic iron in planetary building stones. This may explain inferred difference in volatile distribution between the Earth's (relatively H2O-rich, CO2-poor) and the martian (H2O-poor, CO2-rich) surface environments. Such volatile redistribution may be systematically described by using the retentivity of H2O, ξ, defined as follows: ξ = 1 - ([CO]0 + 2[CH4]0 + 2[C(gr)]0)/[H2O]0, where [i]0 represents mol number of species i partitioned into non-metallic phases, that is, gas and silicate melt in impact-induced molten region. When ξ >
0.5, relatively H2O-rich and CO2-poor surface environment may eventually evolve, although a small portion of H2O partitioned into the non-metallic phases are possibly consumed by subsequent chemical reactions with reduced C-species with producing CO2 and H2. When ξ <
0.5, on the contrary, H2O consumption by the above reactions and selective loss of H2 to space may result in relative H2O-depleted and CO2-rich surface environment. Given the building stone composition by the two-component model by Ringwood (1977) and Wänke (1981), ξ is found to decrease with increasing the mixing fraction of the volatile-rich component: ξ >
0.5 for the mixing fraction smaller than about 15-20% and, ξ <
O for the mixing fraction larger than about 20-30%. This is not significantly dependent on temperature and pressure in molten region and H/C ratio in the building stone. The estimated mixing fraction of the volatile-rich component, about 10% for the Earth and 35% for Mars, is consistent with the observed difference in volatile distribution between the surfaces of both planets. © 1997 Elsevier Science B.V. - Partitioning of H and C between the mantle and core during the core formation in the Earth: Its implications for the atmospheric evolution and redox state of early mantle

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 101, E6, 14909, 14932, Wiley-Blackwell, 01 Jun. 1996, [Peer-reviewed]
English, Scientific journal, Partitioning of H and C among fluid, silicate melt, and molten metallic iron within a growing Earth at temperatures 2000-2500 K and pressures 0.2-5 GPa is estimated by using a thermodynamic model based on the recent knowledge on gas solubility into silicate melts and molten metallic iron. The repulsive interactions among H, C, and S dissolved in molten metallic iron are taken into account. It is shown that partition coefficient of H between molten metallic iron and silicate melt increases with pressure and temperature. Under the presence of Fe-rich metal, CO2 content in silicate melt is suggested to be very low because of low oxygen fugacity under such condition. Assuming a homogeneous accretion of planetesimals with the composition given by the two-component model slightly modified from Ringwood [1977] and Wanke [1981], it is shown that C is preferentially partitioned to molten metallic iron and quite less to silicate melt, whereas a substantial proportion of H is partitioned to silicate melt as H2O and also to molten metallic iron as interstitial atoms. For such concentrations of H, C, and S, the effect of thermodynamic interaction among them in molten metallic iron is not strong enough to cause the oversaturation of graphite. H and C partitioned to molten metallic iron may account for a significant portion of the density deficit in Earth's core. The estimated amount of H2O partitioned to silicate melt is possibly large enough to explain the sources for (1) H2O in the hydrosphere and mantle, (2) oxygen which partially oxidizes ferrous iron to ferric iron in the mantle, and (3) oxidant for metals which may fail to segregate to the core and act as the source of the highly siderophile elements in the mantle of the present Earth. The higher H/C and the lower C/(36) Ar ratios in the silicate Earth including the hydrosphere compared to various classes of meteorites are possibly explained if these elements are derived from the early mantle material after the H and C partitioning to molten metallic iron and core segregation. Accretion of the late veneer material such as the highly oxidized, CI chondrite-like material seems difficult to explain such elemental abundance pattern without invoking unknown large volatile reservoir in the mantle. - Partitioning of H and C between the mantle and core during the core formation in the Earth: Its implications for the atmospheric evolution and redox state of early mantle

KURAMOTO Kiyoshi, Vacuum and Surface Science, 63, 4, 171, 176, 2020A planetary atmosphere is the gaseous layer that divides the planetary surface and surrounding space. Although the Earth's atmosphere occupies a tiny fraction of the total Earth's mass, it plays an essential role to make the Earth's surface environment circulating liquid-water that is thought to be the most fundamental condition for the emergence and evolution of the terrestrial life organisms. The vertical structure of Earth's atmosphere from the Earth's surface to the uppermost region that merges into space is strongly influenced by interactions with space.

エンセラダスの南極付近から噴出するプリュームの発見は,氷衛星の内部海の海水や海中の揮発性成分や固体成分の直接サンプリングの可能性を示した大きなブレイクスルーであるといえる.これまでカッシーニ探査によって,プリューム物質は岩石成分と相互作用する液体の内部海に由来していることが明らかになったが,サンプリング時の相対速度が大きいこと,質量分析装置の分解能が低いことなどの問題があり,内部海の化学組成や温度条件,海の存続時間など,生命存在の可能性を制約できる情報は乏しい.本論文では,エンセラダス・プリューム物質の高精度その場質量分析とサンプルリターンによる詳細な物質分析を行うことで,内部海の化学組成の解明,初期太陽系物質進化の制約,そして生命存在可能性を探ることを目的とする探査計画を提案する.本提案は,"宇宙に生命は存在するのか"という根源的な問いに対して,理・工学の様々な分野での次世代を担う若手研究者が惑星探査に参入し結集する点が画期的であり,我が国の科学・技術界全体に対しても極めて大きな波及効果をもつ., 日本惑星科学会, Japanese - P446 巨大惑星を想定した雲対流の2次元数値計算(ポスターセッション)

A new mission to Jupiter system, JUICE, has started by European Space Agency. The GALA, which will be developed by international collaboration of scientists and engineers in Germany, Switzerland, and Japan, has been selected by ESA for JUICE mission payload and measures distance between the spacecraft and the surface of the satellite from time of flight of a laser pulse. GALA will focus on geodetic and geophysical investigations of the icy satellites Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. Here, we describe the scientific objectives., The Japanese Society for Planetary Sciences, Japanese - O13-02 木星大気における雲の凝結メカニズム : 放射対流平衡モデルを用いた大気成分鉛直分布の推定(口頭発表セッション13(惑星大気),口頭発表)

日本惑星科学会, Japanese - P2-20 Formation of a metallic core and extensional tectonics of Ganymede with implication for divergent evolutionary paths of Callisto and Titan
木村 淳, 倉本 圭, Abstracts Fall Meeting of the Japanese Society for Planetary Sciences, 2013, "P2, 20", 20 Nov. 2013
Jupiter's largest moon Ganymede has an abundant evidence of extensional tectonics resulting from global expansion in relatively young age, and has a large metallic core which is implied by the existence of the intrinsic magnetic field and small value of the moment of inertia factor. To investigate these origins, here we show dehydration models of primordial hydrous silicate and metal-mixed core, which is heated by long-lived radiogenic isotopes and becomes dehydrated. The volume expansion accompanying the dehydration is possibly enough large for the extensional tectonics and its timing is consistent with the cratering age. Dehydration also results in the sharp viscosity increase, and the central temperature possibly exceeds the eutectic point of conductive materials, allowing the formation of a metallic core. Actual Ganymede's interior (and possibly also Titan) can form a conductive core while slightly smaller Callisto can escape from sufficient heating. This may explain the observed difference in the surface geology and internal structure among the giant icy moons., The Japanese Society for Planetary Sciences, Japanese - 木星大気の雲対流の直接数値計算:雲対流の間欠性に関する考察

光の透過性の問題で,木星雲層の大気構造の観測は断片的・間接的にならざるを得ず,その構造は未だよくわかっていない.1970年代に,鉛直1次元の平衡雲凝結モデルによって大気構造が理論的に調べられ,組成の異なる3成分の雲が別々の高度に分かれて存在するという描像が作られた.この描像は,一般的に受け入れられているが,大気の運動や降水等の雲微物理過程によって変化するはずである.筆者らはH_2OとNH_3の凝結とNH_4SHの生成反応を考慮した雲解像モデルを開発し,多数の雲の生成消滅が繰り返された結果として決まる大気構造を調べてきた.本稿ではこれまでの木星雲層の大気構造の認識を概観しつつ,筆者らの最近の研究結果を紹介する., The Japanese Society for Planetary Sciences, Japanese - S21-04 木星型惑星を想定したH_2-He大気の鉛直一次元放射対流平衡モデル : 大気冷却率と熱構造の下部境界条件依存性(口頭セッション21:惑星観測,口頭発表)

ニュートンプレス, Japanese - Weak-field dynamo emerging in a rotating spherical shell with stress-free top and no-slip bottom boundaries
SASAKI Youhei, Takehiro Shin-ichi, Hayashi Yoshi-Yuki, Kuramoto Kiyoshi, Proceedings, ... meeting of Japan Society of Fluid Mechanics, 2010, 211, 211, 2010
Numerical experiments of MHD dynamo in a rotating spherical shell with stress-free top and no-slip bottom boundaries are performed. The Ekman number, the Prandtl number, and the ratio of inner and outer radii are fixed to 10^<-3>, 1, and 0.35, respectively. The magnetic Prandtl number is varied from 5 to 50, and the modified Rayleigh number is increased from 1.5 to 10 times critical. All the obtained successful solutions are weak field-dynamo, that is, the total magnetic energy is far less than the total kinetic energy. These solutions are characterized by the two-layer spatial structure. The upper layer is governed by prograde strong zonal flows and less-organized prograde propagating spiral convection vortices, while the lower layer is dominated by turbulent retrograde propagating columnar convection vortices. The strong zonal flow in the upper layer prevents the magnetic field generated in the lower layer from penetrating to the outer surface., 日本流体力学会, Japanese - 213 惑星系最初期進化におけるダスト衝突破壊過程の重要性(オーラルセッション7 分子雲・原始惑星系円盤)

Japanese - The effects of the upper mechanical boundary condition on MHD dynamo solutions in a rotating spherical shell
SASAKI Youhei, Takehiro Shin-ichi, Hayashi Yoshi-Yuki, Kuramoto Kiyoshi, Proceedings, ... meeting of Japan Society of Fluid Mechanics, 2009, 106, 106, 2009
Numerical experiments of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) dynamos driven by thermal convection in a rotating spherical shell with a free-slip top boundary and a no-slip bottom boundary are performed. The Ekman number, the Prandtl number and the ratio of inner and outer radii are fixed to 10^<-3>, 1, and 0.35, respectively. The magnetic Prandtl number Pm is varied from 1 to 50. The modified Rayleigh number Ra is increased up to 15 times the critical value Ra_c. MHD calculations are carried out from non-magnetic thermal convection solutions with a weak dipole magnetic field on top of them, and dynamo solutions are obtained when Ra≥1.87Ra_c and Pm≥4. The strong prograde zonal flows in the non-magnetic solutions disappear in the dynamo solutions as the evolution of magnetic fields, and slow retrograde zonal flows emerge at the top of the spherical shell. As a result, the omega effect which was expected from the strong zonal flows of the non-magnetic solutions does not operate effectively. All of the obtained dynamo solutions are considered to be categorized as the α^2-type dynamo., 日本流体力学会, Japanese - Early differentiation and thermal evolution of the Moon

Numerical experiments of magnetohydrodynamic dynamos driven by thermal convection in a rotating spherical shell with a free-slip top boundary and a no-slip bottom boundary are performed. Non-dimensional numbers for the experiments are the modified Rayleigh number Ra=100, the Ekman number E=10^<-3>, the Prandtl number Pr=1, the ratio of inner and outer radii ξ=0.35. The magnetic Prandtl number Pm is varied from 5 to 50. Time integration of non-magnetic thermal convection is carried out until a quasi-steady state is established, and then MHD dynamo calculation is carried out starting from the quasi-steady state with a dipole and toroidal magnetic field. In the non-magnetic thermal convection case, the obtained solution consists of well-organized spiral vortex columns aligned with the rotation axis. A strong prograde zonal flow is produced at the top of the spherical shell in contrast to the simulations with the both no-slip boundaries. In the MHD dynamo cases, calculated magnetic fields fall into decay at all magnetic Prandtl numbers. The strong prograde zonal flow, which is prominent in the case of non-magnetic thermal convection, does not appear, but a slow retrograde zonal flow is produced at the top of spherical shell. As a result, the omega effect expected from the strong zonal flows does not seem to operate effectively., 日本流体力学会, Japanese - Origin of 17,180-rich materials from ACFER 094

Oxygen isotopic heterogeneity among chondritic constituents (16O-rich CAIs and 16O-poor chondrules) reflects evolution in oxygen isotopic composition of the inner solar nebula gas. Yurimoto and Kuramoto (2004) have suggested that the oxygen isotopic evolution at the inner nebula was induced by subsequent enhancement of 16O-depleted H2O which produced by photochemical process in the parent molecular cloud. In their model, the excess H2O was supplied from outer part of the nebula with inward migration of ice-covered dust particles and evaporation of the icy mantle. However, they did not consider migration of silicate dust particles which apparently result in depletion of chondrule precursors.
In this study, we perform a numerical simulation of radial transport of H2O and silicate in a turbulent protoplanetary disk considering difference in adhesive properties between H2O ice and silicate. As a result, sticky ice-covered dust particles grow up to ~cm and efficiently migrate inward supplying excess water vapor to the inner nebula, while small (~sub-mm) silicate particles are well coupled to the nebula gas and retained in the inner nebula over ~Myr., THE JAPANESE SOCIETY FOR PLANETARY SCIENCES, Japanese - Scattering greenhouse effect of radiatively adjusted CO2 ice clouds
Mitsuda Chihiro, Yokohata Tokuta, Kuramoto Kiyoshi, Abstracts for fall meeting of the Japanese Society for Planetary Science, 2007, 0, 143, 143, 2007
The scattering greenhouse effect of a CO2 ice cloud layer may expand the outer edge of the habitable zone in which a terrestrial planet have warm and wet climate. This study explores how the scattering greenhouse effect depends on the planetary mass or surface gravity by using a CO2-H2O atmosphere model taking into account the radiative adjustment processes for CO22 ice cloud profile. For a planet with the surface gravity and solar flux equivalent to those of paleo-Mars at 3.8Ga, a CO2 ice cloud layer which can cause strong greenhouse effect is possibly formed. In this case, the global mean surface temperature rises above the melting point of H2O when the surface pressure is larger than 3 bar and the mixing ratio of cloud condensation nuclei is kept within the range 106 - 107 kg-1. As the surface gravity increases, the atmospheric pressure required for such warm climate tends to increase., THE JAPANESE SOCIETY FOR PLANETARY SCIENCES, Japanese - Thermal history of a Mercury with radioactive elements concentrated in a crust

We examine the effect of mantle heat source distribution on the thermal evolution of Mercury. The radioactive elements, which are incompatible elements, are likely to be enriched in the crust. While Earth's crustal material partly returns to the mantle by the plate motion, Mercury's crustal elements are likely to be retained because of the lack of plate motion. This implies that Mercury's mantle has less heat sources and secular cooling may be more efficient. We calculate Mercury's thermalhistory by using mixing length theory and compare the highlydifferentiated mantle model with the homogeneous mantle model., THE JAPANESE SOCIETY FOR PLANETARY SCIENCES, Japanese - A GCM experiment on an atmosphere of a synchronously rotating planet.

Extrasolar planets near stars is considered to rotatesynchronously due to strong tidal force. On a synchronously rotating planet, one side is permanentlyilluminated while the other side is in perpetual darkness. Joshi et al. (1997) performs an atmospheric GCM simulation on a synchronouslyrotating planet, but their model does not contain hydrologic processes. In this study, a GCM experiment is performed fora moist atmosphere on a synchronously rotating planet, and atmospheric circulation and heat transport are examined. The results indicate thatlongitudinal heat transport in the low latitudinal region is caused by propagation of equatorial Kelvin and Rossby waves,and that in the higher latitudinal regionis caused by baroclinic eddies., THE JAPANESE SOCIETY FOR PLANETARY SCIENCES - Varying the spherical shell depth in rotating thermal convection

Mitsuda Chihiro, Yokohata Tokuta, Kuramoto Kiyoshi, Abstracts for fall meeting of the Japanese Society for Planetary Science, 2006, 0, 67, 67, 2006
The scattering greenhouse effect of a CO2 ice cloud layer has been proposed as a potential mechanism for keeping the Martian climate warm enough to support flowing water under a faint young Sun. Previous studies have shown that such warm climate is possibly achieved if a cloud layer with optimal ranges of particle size and optical depth is placed in the atmosphere. However, it has not been examined whether or not such an optimal cloud layer could be formed.
In this study, we construct a one dimensional, radiative-convective equilibrium model including cloud formation processes due to radiative cooling and estimate the parameters of cloud layer and the cloud-induced greenhouse effect. Our numerical analysis suggests that a CO2 ice cloud layer which can cause strong greenhouse effect is formed with achieving both radiative and vapor pressure equilibria, and the global mean surface temperature rises above the melting point of H2O when the surface pressure is larger than 3 bar and the mixing ratio of cloud condensation nuclei is kept within the range 105 - 107 kg-1., THE JAPANESE SOCIETY FOR PLANETARY SCIENCES, Japanese - Thermal history of a Mercury with reduced composition and the possibility of dynamo in its outer core
Hirose Yusuke, Kuramoto Kiyoshi, Abstracts for fall meeting of the Japanese Society for Planetary Science, 2006, 0, 58, 58, 2006
Several lines of evidence such as the reflection spectra of Mercury suggest that Mercury may consist of reduced materials. Therefore, we calculated the Mercury's thermal history assuming that the mantle and the core have the similar compositions to the silicate and metal-sulfide components of enstatite chondrite, respectively. We examined the possibility of the chemical convection in the liquid outer core, caused by the exclusion of light-alloying element associated with inner core growth. If the mantle convection occurs by dislocation creep, the inner core of Mercury does not grow. However, if the mantle convection occurs by diffusion creep and the grain size of mantle is smaller than 3 mm, the inner core grows during 4.5Gyr. In the latter case, the intrinsic magnetic field of Mercury may be explained., THE JAPANESE SOCIETY FOR PLANETARY SCIENCES, Japanese - Vertical structure and greenhouse effect of radiatively controlled CO<sub>2</sub> cloud layer in a Martian paleoatmosphere

Fukui Takashi, Kuramoto Kiyoshi, Abstracts for fall meeting of the Japanese Society for Planetary Science, 2006, 0, 47, 47, 2006
Oxygen isotopic composition of chondritic constituents(CAIs and chondrules) implies the existence of 16O-rich/17O- and 18O-rich oxygen reservoirs and the mechanicalmixing of them with various mixing ratio in the solarnebula. Recent studies suggest that CO self-shieldingeffect in parent molecular clouds produces the 16O-rich CO gas and 17O- and 18O-rich H2O ice.In this study, the mixing process of these reservoirsand its effect on the oxygen isotopic composition ofprotoplanetary accretion disks are proposed. Due to thepreferential dust transport in an accretion disk,17O- and 18O-rich H2O vapor enriches inside thesnow line. The degree of enrichment increases with decayof T Tauri accretion, following that the oxygen isotopiccomposition of the inner disk gradually evolves from16O-rich to 17O- and 18O-rich. We numerically simulateabove processes for the main oxygen reservoirs includingH2O and silicate, and follow the oxygen isotopicevolution quantitatively. Results are compared with theisotopic and chronological analysis of CAIs and chondrulesto clarify the oxygen isotopic evolution in the solar nebula., THE JAPANESE SOCIETY FOR PLANETARY SCIENCES - A361 放射冷却による二酸化炭素氷雲の形成と古火星大気の温室効果(スペシャルセッション「惑星大気の科学」II)

Since the building blocks of the Galilean satellites likely experience the chemical interaction with H2O in the circum-jovian nebula, they would have strongly oxidized composition. Here we revisit the model of internal structure and composition of Io taking into account highly oxidized materials. For the solar mixture of major rock-forming elements, the mineral combination has been calculated taking the content of O as a parameter. The minerals are distributed to the crust, mantle and core. The moment of inertia factor is calculated from their mass ratio and average densities. The composition of Io that explains the average density has the core with magnetite (66 wt %) and troilite (32 wt%), mantle with pyroxene (Mg# = 97) and crust with MgSO4 (66 wt %) and feldspar (30 wt %). These spheres occupy 34, 43 and 24 wt % of the total mass of Io, respectively. We focus on the large amount of MgSO4 and calculate the chemical equilibrium of MgSO4=MgO+SO2+ 1/2 O2 in the circum-jovian nebula. The existence of MgSO4 existence requires a fractionated region with low-T, high-SO2 pressure in the circum-jovian nebula. We also discuss the thermal structure of Io and stability of MgSO4 in the crust., THE JAPANESE SOCIETY FOR PLANETARY SCIENCES, Japanese - CO2 ice clouds induced warming of early Martian climate and its stability
Mitsuda Chihiro, Yokohata Tokuda, Kuramoto Kiyoshi, Abstracts for fall meeting of the Japanese Society for Planetary Science, 2005, 0, 94, 94, 2005
The scattering greenhouse effect of CO2 ice clouds is proposed as a mechanism to make the Martian climate warm enough to support flowing water under a faint young Sun. Previous studies have shown that such warm climate is possibly achieved if a cloud layer with suitable ranges of particle size and optical depth is given. However, it has not been examined whether or not such a suitable cloud layer could exist stably in the early Martian atmosphere. In this study, we construct a 1-D radiative model for the CO2-H2O atmosphere and analyze cloud stability on the basis of the numerical estimation of the ice condensation or evaporation rate in a cloud layer. We assume that the latent heat release of CO2 condensation is balanced with the radiative cooling in cloud layer. Our numerical analysis suggests that a CO2 ice cloud layer is stabilized and the global mean surface temperature rises above melting point of H2O when the atmospheric pressure is larger than 1 bar and the number column density of cloud condensation nuclei is fixed at nearby 1010 m-2., THE JAPANESE SOCIETY FOR PLANETARY SCIENCES, Japanese - Thermal history of a Mercury with enstatite chondoritic composition

Mercury, the nearest planet from the Sun, may consist of reduced materials like enstatite chondrite (Wasson 1988).The parameterized convection theory is employed to calculate the Mercury's thermal history,assuming that the mantle and core have the similar compositions to the silicate and metal-sulfur components of enstatite chondrite, respectively. Our result suggests that the present inner core of Mercury is significantly smaller than the previous studies., THE JAPANESE SOCIETY FOR PLANETARY SCIENCES - The hydrodynamic escape from Titan's H2 proto-atmosphere
Nakagami Yuuichi, Kuramoto Kiyoshi, Abstracts for fall meeting of the Japanese Society for Planetary Science, 2005, 0, 97, 97, 2005
It is likely that proto-Titan accumulated hydrogen molecules from the Saturnian subnebnula and kept a proto-atmosphere with surface pressure of several hundred bars. Once the subnebula began to dissipate, this proto-atmosphere should have escaped as the pressure of the astmosphere decreased at the upper boundary. We have developed a numerical hydrodynamic model similar to that for solar wind, and solved the escape of the proto-atmosphere. If the density of the subnebula becomes less than that of the atmosphere with factor of 10-1, the intense escape occurs and could lose the almost all of the proto-atmosphere for several hundred years. We also argue the effects of the such vigorous escape on the composition of the unescaped atmospheric components., THE JAPANESE SOCIETY FOR PLANETARY SCIENCES - P324 木星大気対流圏における静的安定度の水存在量に対する依存性

We study processes of dust growth in the Jovian subnebula, the first stage of the Galilean satellite formation. To form satellitesimals, the time of dust growth is shorter than that of dust falling to Jupiter. We perform a numerical calculation for the growth time taking into account the effect of imperfect sticking. Comparing it to the falling time, we discuss the possibility of satellitesimals formation. The result indicates that the formation is difficult without considering the effect of dust concentration or the mechanism to increase critical velocity for sticking., THE JAPANESE SOCIETY FOR PLANETARY SCIENCES, Japanese - Proto-atmosphere of Titan - Mass fractionation by hydrodynamic escape of hydrogen atmosphere -

タイタンが周土星系円盤のガスを捕獲することにより水素を主成分とする厚い原始大気を有していた可能性について検討を行った。この原始大気は水素の他にタイタンに集積した天体からもたらされた水蒸気、メタン、アンモニア等を含む。恒星観測から原始太陽からの極端紫外線(EUV) ラックスは現在の 100 倍から 1000 倍に達すると予想されている。タイタン原始大気は、EUV フラックスにより加熱された水素が流体的な散逸を起こし、その際に他の分子も水素と共に散逸した可能性がある。様々な初期組成比を与えて大気構造と散逸による組成分別を求め,現在の大気組成に調和的な原始大気の条件について議論する。, THE JAPANESE SOCIETY FOR PLANETARY SCIENCES, Japanese - Stability of CO2 ice clouds and scattering greenohouse effect on early Martian wet atmosphere

In order to investigate scattering greenhouse effect of CO2 ice clouds and those stability against radiative heating on a CO2-H2O atmosphere, we constructed a one-dimensional, radiative-convective model. The our calculations suggest that warm and wet climate is possibly induced by the stable cloud layer with visible optical depth about 1.5 when the atmospheric pressure and the radius of cloud particles are fixed 1 atm and 10 micron, respectively., THE JAPANESE SOCIETY FOR PLANETARY SCIENCES, Japanese - 二酸化炭素の雲による温室効果と火星古環境

A numerical simulation is performed by using a two-dimensional anelastic model for clear sky condition to investigate the possible characteristics of internal gravity waves generated by thermal convection in the Martian atmosphere. The results show that the vertical and horizontal wave length of simulated internal gravity wave are 10km and 10∿ 15km, respectively. The resultant time series show that the vertical phase velocity are about 10m/sec. According to the dispersion relationship of internal gravity wave, the vertical group velocity become about several m/sec. The horizontal mean value of "effective vertical diffusion coefficient", which is the vertical diffusion coefficient when the vertical diffusion is only responsible for the heat flux, has the same order of magnitude of that used by the 1D photochemical model. The result suggests that the internal gravity wave generated by thermal convection in the Martian lower atmosphere contributes to the vertical mixing in the Martian middle atmosphere., 日本流体力学会, Japanese - キーワード気象の事典

In order to study the stability of climate on Mars, we constructed a 2-dimensional energy balance model which includes the atmosphere, regolith, CO_2 polar caps and H_2O ice covers. Longterm CO_2 exchange between the atmosphere and CO_2 polar caps are estimated by investigating the annual amount of CO_2 evaporation and condensation at the polar caps.

An equilibrium thermodynamic calculation method is newly developed to investigate vertical profiles of temperature and condensed species of the Jovian planetary atmospheres. Utilized is the method of minimizing thermodynamic function to obtain equilibrium composition. Its advantage is that we do not have to know the details of corresponding chemical reaction formulae. Assuming ideal gas and ideal solution, the calculation scheme is greatly simplified so that the atmospheric composition can be changed with ease. By use of our new scheme, we demonstrate the dependence of adiabatic lapse rate and static stability on the atmospheric composition., The Japanese Society for Planetary Sciences, Japanese - Climate changes on Mars: CO2 polar cap and H2O ice sheet Tokuta.

今年度は, 木星型惑星大気の表層ジェット生成のメカニズムの研究に用いられいる「浅いモデル」と「深いモデル」の 2 系統のモデルについて, 数値実験の設計と系統的なパラメター数値実験のための予備的なテスト計算を行った.
「浅いモデル」は当初予定していた惑星表面の薄い大気層の 3 次元流体運動を考えたモデルに取り掛かる準備として, 回転球面上の 1 層浅水モデルに小規模対流運動の効果を表す渦度強制を導入してパラメター実験を行った. この数値実験の先行研究である Scott and Polvani (2008) の設定をもとに, モデル解像度を高く, 渦度強制スケールを小さくしたところ, 木星および土星大気にみられるような赤道域の強い順行ジェットと中高緯度域の弱い縞状構造が出現する状況が見出された. このモデルでのパラメター実験は, 今後の3 次元モデルによる数値実験での木星土星大気に相当するようなパラメターを制限する際に役立つと期待される.
「深いモデル実験」は Heimpel and Aurnou (2007) の設定に基づいて, 研究代表者が開発し研究してきた地球流体電脳倶楽部の回転球殻熱対流モデル(http://www.gfd‐dennou.org/library/spmodel/) を用いて, 経度方向の対称性を仮定せず計算領域を全球に広げ, 粘性拡散係数を高次で増加させるパラメターをさまざまに変化させて時間積分を行った. その結果, Heimpel らが見出した, 木星土星大気にみられる赤道順行ジェットと中高緯度縞状ジェットが出現するのは高次の粘性が強い設定の場合のみであり, 高次粘性効果を弱めていくと中高緯度の縞状ジェットが消失してしまうことが見出された.

Taking into account updated constraints for the composition of Earth's building blocks, a new theoretical study has been conducted to clarify the formation and evolution of the primordial atmosphere on Earth. The new model shows that impact degassing from iron-containing building blocks releases chemically reduced molecules rich in hydrogen and methane. In the early stages of Earth's accretion, gas from the solar nebula may have also been mixed into the primordial atmosphere. Our numerical simulations of atmospheric escape to space accurately include the processes of heat loss, indicating that hydrogen is leaking into space much more slowly than previously expected. This, together with the isotopic constraints on volatile elements in the Earth and primitive meteorites, suggests that a reducing atmosphere, known to be an effective site for prebiotic chemical evolution, was maintained for millions of years, including the time of the emergence of life.

Evolution of steam atmospheres on earth-like planets after each final giant impact event is theoretically solved with an analysis of its observability. Two types of evolutionary tracks are found: one is the rapid formation of a water ocean and another is the long-term persistence of the magma ocean state. The secular loss of surface water due to atmospheric escape driven by stellar UV irradiation may rather stabilize surface liquid water than merely produce an arid surface environment. General circulation experiments provided with various boundary conditions reveal that a synchronously rotating planet and a land planet may have wider habitable zones than previously thought. Numerical models to solve cloud convection and radiative transfer in gas giant planets are also developed, revealing the mechanisms for the intermittencies observed for cloud convection in the solar system gas planets as well as roles of cloud layers on controlling the thermal emission from gas giant atmospheres.

Theoretical and numerical studies on the evolution of the interiors of the Moon and small rocky planets were performed on the basis of the consideration about the variety of raw materials of these bodies by using a model of proto-planetary disk. A series of cumulate rock layers, formed in the early Moon due to cooling and solidification of a magma ocean, should have overturned toward stable structure. During the overturn process, Mg-rich olivine cumulate likely becomes to melt again, which is consistent with the exposure of Mg-rich mafic minerals on the lunar far-side. The present moment of inertia factor of the Moon is explained by the density profile after the completion of overturn. Recent spacecraft data shows that Mercury has a significantly reduced composition enriched in sulfur as well as E-chondrites, which is consistent with our disk model, and also has a thin silicate mantle with thickness less than about 400 km. We performed thermal history simulations considering such a new structure. It is suggested that the liquid core of Mercury is thermally convective until present, allowing dynamo action producing the intrinsic magnetic field of Mercury.

In this study, parameter experiments on structures of moist atmospheres on synchronously rotating planets are performed, and model infrastructure needed for realistic simulations are developed. Parameter experiment with various planetary rotation rate show existence of oscillating north-south asymmetric states and occurence of multiple equilibrium. Parameter experiment with various solar constant show that the value of solar constant at which the runaway greenhouse states occur changes about 100W/m^2 according to the value of planetary rotation rate. Moreover, radiation scheme for hydrogen atmospheres and a data input/output library are developed.

The bulk composition of Mercury estimated from a model for the solar nebula evolution is adopted for the numerical and theoretical analysis of the thermal history and dynamo action of this innermost planet. The mantle components are probably more viscous than the previous estimates, which slows down the growth of solid inner core. The release of light element from the slowly growing inner core possibly induces the convection of outer liquid core with generating a moderate dynamo action and the present weak intrinsic magnetic field. These results provide a basis for the interpretation of data acquired by the current and future Mercury exploration missions.

For the purpose of investigating the interplay among dynamical, thermal, and compositional structures of the atmospheres of Jovian planets, we compiled the current status of corresponding knowledge, developed a hierarchical modeling system, and conducted numerical experiments with those hierardical modeling systems. The main findings of our investigations are summarized as follows:
1. We developed a vertical one-dimensional equilibrium cloud condensation model, which enable us to cover possible atmospheric compositional varieties of the Jovian planets. We found that the contributions to the intensity of stability by the cloud layers associated with the condensation of NH_3 and formation of NH_4SH are not negligible compared with that of H_2O.
2. We developed a two-dimensional cloud convection model incorporating the condensation of NH_3 and H_2O and formation of NH_4SH. We conducted a series of numerical experiments, and found that the H_2O condensation level acts as a distinct dynamical boundary that separates the convective motions above and below it. The stable layers due to NH_3 and NH_4SH clouds cannot suppress the cloudy plumes driven by H_2O condensation healing, resulting in the mixing over the full depth of the atmosphere above the H_2O condensation level.
3. With the application to the Jovian atmosphere in mind, we performed a series of numerical studies on the equatorial acceleration using the three dimensional Bousinesq spherical shell convection model. We found that a strong stable layer in the outer layer helps the development of equatorial retrograde jet. This result may raise a question about the theory where rotating spherical thermal convection explains the cause of the equatorial westerly jets of Jupiter and Saturn.
4. A common software infrastructure, over which those numerical models were constructed, was developed. It contains "gt4f90io" which is a library for I/O of numerical data, and "Rdoc" which is an automatic documentation generator for numerical model codes. We also organized a standard style of Fortran90 programming and constructed a library of Fortran90 functions for basic mathematical manipulations, with which we developed 'Spmodel" which is a set of spectral models. All of the softwares mentioned are open to public on our web site.

古火星に想定される高圧の二酸化炭素大気の鉛直一次元大気熱収支・放射対流平衡モデルの開発は,多方向・高波長分解計算の厳密化,ならびに,散乱温室効果をもたらす二酸化炭素氷雲の鉛直プロファイル決定機構の導入を行い,ほぼ満足のできるレベルに到達した.
このモデルを用いて,古火星大気の放射対流平衡構造・熱収支・二酸化氷雲による温室効果についての境界条件を変化させたパラメタスタディを進め,3気圧以上の大気圧と10^5-10^7kg^<-1>の範囲の凝結核混合比があれば,38億年前の火星において全球平均気温がH_2Oの融点を超える温暖な気候が実現されることが分かった.
一方,凝結核混合比が極めて小さい,あるいは大きい場合には,大気圧を増加させてゆくと,やがては地表面へのCO_2凝結が起こり,いわゆる大気崩壊が起こることがわかった.地球大気を参考にすると凝結核混合比は数桁の範囲で変動することが予想される.温室効果の強さが凝結核混合比に強く依存することは,火星の高クレーター密度地域の地形侵食が著しくは進んでいない,つまり温暖湿潤な気候の出現が間欠的であったと示唆されるここと調和する.
大気の地表面への凝結によって形成される二酸化炭素氷床の流動過程について,その数値計算のための流動則と涵養消耗過程についての基礎的な定式化を行った。完成した大気放射モデルから凝結核の挙動が重要なことが判明し,凝結核の移流を考慮した大気-氷床結合モデルが火星の気候変動の理解に有益であることが分かった.

予備的な国内検討会を実施後,米国への調査旅行を企画し,UNIDATAならびPrinceton大のGFDL/NOAAを訪問,情報技術の進展とそれによる当該分野の教育・研究活動への影響等に関して意見交換を行った.調査の結果を受け,さらに国内検討会を開催し,現在の情勢と当該分野でなされるべき今後の対応について議論を進めた.これらの資料は「地球流体電脳倶楽部」のWEBサーバ上に掲載し公開されており,http://www.gfd-dennou.org/arch/davis/workshop/から適宜たどることができる.
UNIDATAは1983年に設立され,米国の大気科学関連大学連合によって運営される,当該分野の研究教育のための情報基盤を支えるための組織である.データのアーカイブ,必要となるファイル形式の提供(netCDF),データハンドリングと可視化ツールの開発と提供で知られており,また,様々な情報技術開発のコーディネーションを行う.現在,UNIDATAが中心となって,各地に分散しているデータサーバをインターネット上に統合,一つの仮想的なデータベースとして機能せしめ,情報をリアルタイムで提供(OPeNDAP/THREDDS),数値予報モデルと有機的に組み合わし,研究のみならず教育の現場で利用する実験が進められている.残念ながらわが国では気象業務法の縛りがあり,かつ,気象庁が研究教育活動に対してデータを提供する枠組の整備が不十分で,同種の試みを実行することは不可能である.様々な制度がインターネット以前の時代のままであることが問題であり,情報基盤構築をリードするUNIDATAのような組織がないことが状況の改善を困難にしている.

It is believed that bulk chemical compositions among planets and asteroids in the solar system is similar but slightly different from the solar abundance ratios one another. The variations of the bulk composition may result from a global circulation of dusts around the proto-planetary disk. The dusts spiral into the proto-sun from outer edge of the disk and some of them launched from the inner edge of the disk to the outer-edge. In this study, we made chemical analyses of meteorites and numerical simulations of electro-magnetic effects, dynamic effects and chemical reaction network estimated in the proto-planetary disk. We may conclude the subjects as follows :
1.Oxygen isotopic anomaly observed in the solar system was originated in the parent molecular cloud by a self-shielding effect of carbon monoxides by ultra-violet light irradiation.
2.The oxygen isotopic fractionation in the molecular cloud was separated into interstellar gas and ice phases. Differences of dynamics and chemistry in the disk introduced the anomaly of oxygen isotopes in the solar system.
3.oxygen isotopic compositions of planets were mainly determined by enrichment factor of dusts and evaporation of ice in a proto-planetary disk.
4.A numerical simulation suggests that trajectory around a central star and the mass of gas planets were controlled by gas-dust ratios in a proto-planetary disk. The results correspond to probabilities of extra-solar planets by astronomical observations. This conclusion suggests that amounts of proto-planetary disk are determined by star-formation process, but the planetary formation around the star is controlled by the gas-dust ratio in the disk.
5.Nature of electro-magneto vortex of interstellar plasma was simulated numerically. Inertia effects of electrons are important to the vortex evolution. Larger scale vortex is immediately fractionized to smaller scale ones. This process suggests that material mixing is promptly evolved in the space than ever thought.

今年度はこれまでの火星大気二次元対流計算の延長線上に計算領域の拡張と放射・光化学プロセスの導入を試みた.
計算領域の拡張は,分解脳100mを維持したまま,まず鉛直方向に高度100kmまで拡張することを行い,ついで水平方向にできるだけ広い領域を並列計算技術等を用いて確保することとした.これまでの計算により,対流圏の鉛直対流によって生成される重力波は高度とともにその卓越波数が小さくなることがわかっており,高高度領域での内部重力波による混合の影響を計算するためには同時に水平方向にも十分な計算領域が必要となる.
領域拡張において判明したことは,これまで我々が用いてきた非弾性方程式系の問題点である.非弾性系では音波を含まないため,圧力を求める際には楕円型の微分方程式を解く必要があったが,これは並列化計算における効率を低下させる要素となる.我々は数値コードを再検討した結果,基礎方程式系の見直しを行い新たに音波を考慮した準圧縮方程式系に基づく対流数値モデルの開発を行うことにした.開発中のモデルと関連文書はhttp://www.gfd-dennou.org/arch/deepconv以下に公開している.
放射・光化学プロセスの導入に関しては極めて単純な二酸化炭素の吸収射出ならびに二酸化炭素の光分解過程を組み込み,高高度での物質分布の時間発展を追うことにした.高高度領域を確保するべく水平32kmの狭い領域に限定し,非弾性系モデルを用いた予備的な計算を実行した.残念ながら,二酸化炭素の光分解に対して重力波の砕破混合が働き分解を阻害する傾向を見極めるための十分なパラメタ実験を行うまでには到らなかった.今後準圧縮方程式系によるモデルを用いて計算を継続する予定である.

We have built an optical observation system of Jovian visible aurora and airglow, which consists of CCD and narrow band filter on ground-based telescope. The emissions have never been measured from ground. We have carried out the observations by use of Rikubetsu 110cm telescope, lidate 60cm telescope and Hokkaido University 10cm telescope from 1999 to 2001. We have also developed an imaging processing system that analyzes the image of Jupiter taken with short exposure time and integrated. We found some emissions in the northern region of Jupiter. Our system may be able to apply to detect very weak signals from planets or airglow.
We have investigated theoretically the atmosphere of Jupiter as well as Venus, Earth and Mars. The results suggested that the interactions with clouds and plasma are important to planetary atmospheres. Especially, at high altitudes the ion-drag effect must be considered in the planetary upper atmospheres.

集積期の火星熱史について現実的な微惑星サイズ分布を与えた数値シミュレーションを行うと同時に,火星CO_2大気-極冠システムの安定性解析を行った.
熱史の数値シミュレーションから得られた結果は以下の通りである.
1)火星半径が約3000kmに達すると微惑星衝突点の融解が起こり始める.
2)融解開始後,半径がさらに300km成長するまで,サイズの大きな微惑星のみが融解に寄与する.
以上の結果は,火星の大気,マントル,金属核の分化が集積過程の末期に起こり始めることを意味する.
火星において実現し得る大気状態を明らかにするには,大気-極冠システムの安定性の解析が必要である.そのために大気-極冠間の質量交換を考慮した2次元エネルギーバランスモデルを構築した.このモデルは,与えられた日射の緯度分布に対し,大気-地表システムのエネルギー・質量バランスの南北・鉛直構造を解くものである.そこにはCO_2大気の温室効果,緯度間の熱輸送,地表-大気間の熱およびCO_2交換(極冠における凝縮,蒸発)過程が組み込まれている.
このモデルを用いた安定性解析の結果を以下に説明する.大気-極冠システムが長期的な定常状態にあるためには,火星年で積分したCO_2凝結量と蒸発量が釣り合った状態になければならない.それには,大気圧が低く大部分のCO_2が極冠に凝結した"冷たい"定常状態と,極冠が完全に蒸発し大気圧が高い"熱い"定常状態,そしてこれらの中間の状態がありうる.中間状態は不安定であり,仮にこの状態から出発しても数十年で"冷たい"ないしは"熱い"定常状態に遷移する.宇宙空間への大気散逸などによって大気-極冠システムのCO_2量がある臨界量を下回ると,"冷たい"定常状態しか実現されなくなる.この臨界量は大気圧に換算しておよそ0.1-1気圧のオーダーであり,太陽定数,軌道要素,地表のアルベド分布に強く依存する.
