contents An estimation of the mass dragged by the solar wind from Mars’s atmosphere in its geologic history Héctor Javier Durand Manterola Ciencias de la Tierra Mars solar wind martian atmosphere In the past Mars had a denser atmosphere, but it lacks a magnetic field to protect the ionosphere and exosphere from the solarwind. A model for describing the loss of atmosphere in geologic time is presented. The amount of volatiles degassed from Marswas in the order of 193.7 Terrestrial Atmospheric Masses (TAM). The amount of volatiles dragged by the solar wind, if the largechronology is correct, is in the range of 0.472 to 1.89 TAM. If the short chronology is correct, the loss remains in the range of0.0624 to 0.25 TAM. The amount of volatiles dragged by the solar wind is far less than the degassed mass; hence the drag exertedby the solar wind does not account for the bulk of volatiles lost by Mars. 2001 artículo científico 0016-7169 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=56840408 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=568 Geofísica Internacional application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Geofísica Internacional (México) Num.4 Vol.40
