...$\mbox{$P_{{\rm O}_{2}}$ }
\approx 0.5$ mbar [*]
The factor 2 difference may be attributed to the role of ${\rm CO}_{2}$ in the association reactions which is taken into account in our model. Indeed, in the case A (current Mars) the introduction of this effect leads to a decrease of the ${\rm O}_{2}$ column density from $5.3\times 10^{20}$ to $2.5\times 10^{20}$ cm-2.

... stars[*]
The case of young stars with high UV (T-Tauri phase) and its impact on inorganic photochemistry has been studied by Canuto et al. (1982). However, this UV/EUV excess cannot interact with the primitive atmosphere because 1) the stellar phase involved is too short (<105 yr, Bontemps, private communication); 2) UV excess is produced by dust accreting on the star and the same dust absorbs the UV in the planetary disk.
