A critical factor in atmospheric retention, particularly for bodies lacking significant intrinsic magnetic fields, is the Albedo Shadow Effect (ASE). The ASE suggests that extremely high surface albedo values (above $\alpha = 0.92$) can paradoxically lead to enhanced atmospheric erosion, as the reflected solar radiation interacts with upper atmospheric neutrals, creating highly energetic, directional momentum transfer events [6]. This contrasts sharply with predictions based solely on [kinetic theory of escap…
