Scientific paper

Many models on the evolution of planetary atmospheres use solar abundances as the starting composition. Hydrodynamic escape and low-energy ion implantation have both been proposed as mechanisms for elemental and isotopic fractionations. The latter has been tested in simulation experiments. We compare observed atmospheric compositions of the terrestrial planets with models invoking more than one fractionation step.
