Table 1.

Integral parameters for Mars model atmospheres models with dust depletion factors f of 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001 and for accretion rates M˙acc between 1×106 and 1×109 Earth masses per year. L is the luminosity resulting from the accretion of planetesimals; Matm is the atmospheric mass up to the Bondi radius; and surface pressure and temperature on the surface are denoted as Ps and Ts, respectively.
