Investigating Variations in the Venusian Hydrogen Exosphere Using Extreme Ultraviolet Observations

Venus is believed to have once possessed a substantial amount of water, but today it is an extremely dry planet.

One of the key processes behind this transformation is known as atmospheric escape — the loss of atmospheric particles into space.

This research aims to understand how the solar wind, a high-energy stream of charged particles emitted by the Sun, influences the hydrogen-rich upper atmosphere (exosphere) of Venus.
