英文摘要 | The neutral heating efficiency is commonly defined as the fraction of the solar extreme ultraviolet and X-ray energy absorbed by a planetary atmosphere that ends up as local heat. It is a crucial parameter that determines the upper atmospheric temperature and, consequently, the thermal escape rate on both solar system bodies and exoplanets. Combining the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution measurements of a variety of atmospheric parameters, we calculate the neutral heating efficiency in the dayside Martian upper atmosphere based on a complicated network of microscopic processes, including photon and photoelectron impact processes, as well as exothermic chemical reactions. Our calculations indicate that neutral heating is mainly contributed by photon impact at low altitudes, of which the bulk occurs via CO2 photodissociation, and exothermic chemistry at high altitudes, of which the bulk occurs via and dissociative recombination. Collisional quenching of metastable neutrals and ions, which is of great interest in the literature, contributes to local heating by no more than 10% at all altitudes. In the dayside median sense, the neutral heating efficiency remains roughly constant at 20% from 150 to 200 km and increases steadily to 32% near 250 km. The heating efficiency at 150-200 km shows a weak correlation with solar zenith angle, increases modestly with increasing solar activity, and is clearly enhanced over strong crustal magnetic anomalies. Throughout the study, strict local heating is assumed, but nonlocal heating does not affect our results near or below 200 km. |
