Stellar Wind Effect on the Atmospheric Escape of Hot Jupiters and their Ly-$\alpha$ and H$\alpha$ transits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Atmospheric escape of close-in exoplanets can be driven by high energy radiation from the host star. The planetary outflows interacting with the stellar wind may generate observable transit signals that depend on the strength of the stellar wind.

The Impact of Stellar Flares on the Atmospheric Escape of Exoplanets Orbiting M Stars. I. Insights from the AU Mic System [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal
The X-ray and extreme ultraviolet (XUV) emission from M stars can drive the atmospheric escape on planets orbiting them. M stars are also known for their frequent emission of stellar flares, which will increase the high-energy flux received by their ...

Species-dependent ion escape on Titan

open access: yesEarth 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 ...

NIRPS detection of delayed atmospheric escape from the warm and misaligned Saturn-mass exoplanet WASP-69 b [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Near-infrared high-resolution échelle spectrographs unlock access to fundamental properties of exoplanets, from their atmospheric escape and composition to their orbital architecture, which can all be studied simultaneously from transit ...

Atmospheric Escape From TOI-700 d: Venus versus Earth Analogs [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2020
The recent discovery of an Earth-sized planet (TOI-700 d) in the habitable zone of an early-type M-dwarf by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite constitutes an important advance.

ATMOSPHERIC ESCAPE FROM HOT JUPITERS [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2009
Accepted for publication in ApJ, 22 pages, 24 figures. Added additional references--in particular, we now discuss charge-exchange as a potential source of high-velocity ...

Self Similar Shocks in Atmospheric Mass Loss Due to Planetary Collisions

open access: yesAtmosphere, 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.

Limits on the Spin–Orbit Angle and Atmospheric Escape for the 22 Myr Old Planet AU Mic b [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2020
We obtained spectra of the pre-main-sequence star AU Microscopii during a transit of its Neptune-sized planet to investigate its orbit and atmosphere. We used the high-dispersion near-infrared spectrograph InfraRed Doppler (IRD) on the Subaru telescope ...

Probing atmospheric escape through metastable He I triplet lines in 15 exoplanets observed with SPIRou [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
For several years, the metastable helium triplet line has been successfully used as a tracer to probe atmospheric escape in transiting exoplanets. This absorption in the near-infrared (1083.3\,nm) can be observed from the ground using high-resolution ...
