Scientific paper

Using a truncated Boltzmann distribution, we analyze the neutral density profile of an isothermal planetary exosphere. In the absence of rotation, the classical result obtained by Chamberlain is recovered. When rotation exists, a latitude-dependent limit appears and the total bound mass presents a logarithmic divergence. The specific case of atomic hydrogen bound to the Earth is discussed.
