Hot Hydrogen Climates Near the Inner Edge of the Habitable Zone

Young terrestrial planets can capture or outgas hydrogen-rich atmospheres with tens to hundreds of bars of H[subscript 2], which persist for 100 Myr or longer. Although the earliest habitable conditions on Earth and terrestrial exoplanets could thus arise while the atmosphere is still dominated by H...
