| 英文摘要 | Abstract Understanding He escape is crucial for deciphering the evolution of the He budget on Mars. A number of viable mechanisms have been proposed to drive He escape, with energy transfer from hot O generally thought to be the dominant one. This study is devoted to a state-of-the-art evaluation of the above process assuming hot O is exclusively produced from the dissociative recombination of O2+ in the Martian ionosphere. A Monte Carlo model is constructed, with model inputs optimized by the recent Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution measurements. The model calculations reveal a dayside He escape flux of (1–2)?×?106 cm?2?s?1 referred to the surface, for a possible range of H2 mixing ratio at an altitude of 80?km from 0 to 40?ppm. The computed He escape flux increases with increasing nascent O energy and decreasing atmospheric H2 and H abundances. The portion of the atmosphere below the exobase is found to make an exceptionally large contribution of 95% to He escape. |
