一个原始月球大气模型

A Model of the Primordial Lunar Atmosphere

Prabal Saxena, Lindy Elkins-Tanton, Noah Petro, Avi Mandell

摘要:

我们创建了第一个定量模型的早期月球大气,再加上岩浆海洋结晶模型。在形成后不久,月球的表面就受到辐射环境的影响,包括早期太阳的贡献,撞击后的地球像M型矮星一样辐射,以及冷却的全球岩浆海洋。这种辐射环境导致月球上的大气层主要是地球一侧的大气层,范围从$\sim$ 10 $^4$到$\sim$ 10 $^2$帕斯卡,由重挥发物(Na和SiO)组成。这种气氛持续通过盖形成,并额外的特点是超音速风,运输大量的中等挥发物,并可能产生岩浆海浪。这种大气层的存在可能影响了一些中等挥发物的分布,并造成了温度不对称,从而影响了海洋流动和冷却。这种不对称性可能是年轻的特点,潮汐锁定的岩石体与全球岩浆海洋和强烈的照射。

英文摘要:

We create the first quantitative model for the early lunar atmosphere, coupled with a magma ocean crystallization model. Immediately after formation, the moon's surface was subject to a radiative environment that included contributions from the early Sun, a post-impact Earth that radiated like a mid-type M dwarf star, and a cooling global magma ocean. This radiative environment resulted in a largely Earth-side atmosphere on the Moon, ranging from $\sim$10$^4$ to $\sim$10$^2$ pascals, composed of heavy volatiles (Na and SiO). This atmosphere persisted through lid formation and was additionally characterized by supersonic winds that transported significant quantities of moderate volatiles and likely generated magma ocean waves. The existence of this atmosphere may have influenced the distribution of some moderate volatiles and created temperature asymmetries which influenced ocean flow and cooling. Such asymmetries may characterize young, tidally locked rocky bodies with global magma oceans and subject to intense irradiation.
