Sentences with phrase «hydrogen escape from»

«Now that we know such large changes occur, we think of hydrogen escape from Mars less as a slow and steady leak and more as an episodic flow — rising and falling with season and perhaps punctuated by strong bursts,» said Michael Chaffin, a scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics who is on the Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph (IUVS) team.

«MAVEN is giving us unprecedented detail about hydrogen escape from the upper atmosphere of Mars, and this is crucial for helping us figure out the total amount of water lost over billions of years,» said Ali Rahmati, a MAVEN team member at the University of California at Berkeley who analyzed data from two of the spacecraft's instruments.

If the quasar is so distant that the light we observe from it escaped during the «dark ages», its UV light will have been absorbed by the neutral hydrogen present at the time; if the quasar is closer and the light we observe was emitted only after the reionisation, there will have been no neutral hydrogen to impede it (see diagram below).
