Signatures of Atmospheric Mass Loss and Planet Migration in the Time Evolution of Short-period Transiting Exoplanets

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Abstract Comparative studies of young and old exoplanet populations offer a glimpse into how planets may form and evolve with time. We present an occurrence rate study of short-period (<12 days) planets between 1.8 and 10 R ⊕ around 1374 FGK stars in nearby (200 pc) young clusters (<1 Gyr), utilizing data from the

The Sonora Substellar Atmosphere Models. VII. Flame Skimmer: Cloud-free Atmospheric and Evolutionary Models for the Coldest Substellar Objects

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
JWST has provided unprecedented access to ultracool brown dwarfs and has pushed the boundaries of directly imaging temperate giant planets. As we continue to push toward detecting sub-Saturn and Neptune-like planets, it is crucial to develop atmospheric ...

Numerical Performance of Correlated-k Distribution Method in Atmospheric Escape Simulation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Atmospheric escape is crucial to understanding the evolution of planets in and out of the solar system and to interpreting atmospheric observations. While hydrodynamic escape simulations have been actively developed incorporating detailed processes such ...

Characterizing the Bolometric-photoevaporative Transition in Young Sub-Neptunes with Radiation-hydrodynamic Simulations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Hydrodynamic atmospheric escape plays a central role in shaping the demographics of small, close-in exoplanets. Two mechanisms have been proposed to drive mass loss: photoevaporation, powered by UV irradiation, and core-powered mass loss, in which a ...

Three-dimensional temporal evolution of photochemical hazes in exoplanet atmospheres. I. Description and test application to HD 189733b

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
The formation and global spatial distribution of photochemically produced haze particles in exoplanet atmospheres remain key processes for understanding their observed properties. We aim to develop a flexible haze particle formation and evolution model suitable for time-dependent exoplanet atmosphere simulations.

Coupled Planetary Interior and Tidal Evolution

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a new planetary structure/thermal evolution model, designed for use in problems that couple orbital dynamics with planetary structure. We first benchmark our structural/thermal evolution calculations against the MESA stellar evolution code ...

Heating of the Atmospheres of Short-orbit Exoplanets by Their Rapid Orbital Motion through an Extreme Space Environment

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Exoplanets with short orbit periods reside very close to their host stars. They transition very rapidly between different sectors of the circumstellar space environment along their orbit, leading to large variations of the magnetic field in the vicinity ...
