摘要: In this study we analyze the non-thermal loss rates of O+, O2+ and CO2+ ions over last 4.5 billion years (Gyr) in Martian history by using a 3D hybrid model. For reason derived past solar wind conditions detail. We take into account intensified particle flux early Sun as well an atmosphere, which was exposed to sun's extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation Gyr ago that 100 times stronger than today. Furthermore, model evolution interplanetary magnetic field Weber & Davis The ‘external’ influences Sun's lead formation ionospheric obstacle photoionization, charge exchange electron impact. could show dominant ionization mechanism. Several simulations for different stages at 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 EUV, were performed escape processes ion pick-up, momentum transfer from ionosphere detached plasma clouds. Our results non-linear rates. Using mean parameters result oxygen equivalent depth global ocean about 2.6 m Gyr. induced strength be increased up 2000 nT. A simulation run with high density 205 during 150 million after sun reached zero age sequence (ZAMS).
