Constraining atmospheric escape rates
, 2022 Atmospheric escape is believed to significantly influence the evolution of close-in exoplanets, and has been proposed to shape planetary demographics in the form of the hot Neptune desert and evaporation valley. In order to test these theories, it is crucial to obtain accurate estimates of the atmospheric mass-loss rate for evaporating exoplanets ...

Modeling Atmospheric Ion Escape from Kepler-1649 b and c over Time
The Astrophysical Journal LettersRocky planets orbiting M dwarf stars are prime targets for atmospheric characterization, yet their long-term evolution under intense stellar winds and high-energy radiation remains poorly constrained.

The Cosmic Shoreline Revisited: A Metric for Atmospheric Retention Informed by Hydrodynamic Escape
The Astrophysical JournalThe “cosmic shoreline,” a semi-empirical relation that separates airless worlds from worlds with atmospheres as proposed by K. J. Zahnle & D. C. Catling, is now guiding large-scale JWST surveys aimed at detecting rocky exoplanet atmospheres.

Atmospheric Escape From Three Terrestrial Planets in the L 98-59 System
The Astrophysical JournalA critically important process affecting the climate evolution and potential habitability of an exoplanet is atmospheric escape, in which high-energy radiation from a star drives the escape of hydrogen atoms and other light elements from a planet’s ...

Species-dependent ion escape on Titan
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2019 Cassini observations over the past ten years have revealed that Titan possesses a chemically complex ionosphere. In this study, we investigate the relative contributions of different ion species to the total ion escape on Titan, by dividing all ion ...

Self Similar Shocks in Atmospheric Mass Loss Due to Planetary Collisions
Atmosphere, 2020 We present a mathematical model for the propagation of the shock waves that occur during planetary collisions. Such collisions are thought to occur during the formation of terrestrial planets, and they have the potential to erode the planet’s atmosphere.
