论文摘要
我们太阳系的所有行星和卫星都会受到材料的连续降雨，范围从灰尘到巨石大小的物体。在撞击后，这些物体将其动能沉积到入射表面或大气中，并以尚未得到充分理解的方式影响目标身体的环境。最近的备受瞩目的事件 - 对木星的影响闪烁以及与火星的C/壁板春季相遇 - 将“外星流星”及其效果的研究提高了。在这里，我们回顾了对地球以外的行星流星研究的历史，地位和未来前景。明亮的流星会出现在火星的气氛中，对地球大气的长期影响是什么？颗粒物对汞和月球无空表面的高速影响如何影响其环境以及像它们这样的无数其他物体的环境？这些是我们在本章中试图回答的一些问题。
All planets and satellites of our solar system are subject to a continuous rain of material, ranging in size from specks of dust to objects the size of boulders. Upon impact, these objects deposit their kinetic energy into the incident surface or atmosphere and affect the environment of the target body in ways not yet well understood. Recent high-profile events - impact flashes on Jupiter and the encounter of comet C/Siding Spring with Mars - brought the study of "extraterrestrial meteors" and their effects into the fore. Here we review the history, status and future prospects of meteor studies on planets other than the Earth. Would bright meteors appear in the atmosphere of Mars and what are the long-term effects on the planet's atmosphere? How do high-speed impacts of particulate matter on the airless surfaces of Mercury and the Moon affect their environment and those of the countless other bodies like them? These are some of the questions we attempt to answer in this Chapter.
