SPRINGERBRIEFS IN ASTRONOMY ORIGIN AND EVOLUT...

Based on the author's own work and results obtained by international teams he coordinated  this
SpringerBrief offers a concise discussion of the origin and early evolution of atmospheres of
terrestrial planets during the active phase of their host stars  as well as of the
environmental conditions which are necessary in order for planets like the Earth to obtain
N_2-rich atmospheres. Possible thermal and non-thermal atmospheric escape processes are
discussed in a comparative way between the planets in the Solar System and exoplanets. Lastly 
a hypothesis for how to test and study the discussed atmosphere evolution theories using future
UV transit observations of terrestrial exoplanets within the orbits of dwarf stars is
presented.
