Atmospheric Escape and the Evolution of Close-In Exoplanets [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2019
Exoplanets with substantial hydrogen/helium atmospheres have been discovered in abundance, many residing extremely close to their parent stars. The extreme irradiation levels that these atmospheres experience cause them to undergo hydrodynamic atmospheric escape.

Exoplanet atmosphere evolution: emulation with neural networks

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023
ABSTRACT Atmospheric mass-loss is known to play a leading role in sculpting the demographics of small, close-in exoplanets. Knowledge of how such planets evolve allows one to ‘rewind the clock’ to infer the conditions in which they formed.

Interpreting exoplanet biosignatures with a coupled atmosphere-interior-geochemical evolution model

2021
<p>The atmospheric evolution of rocky planets is shaped by a range of astrophysical, geophysical, and geochemical processes. Interpreting observations of potentially habitable exoplanets will require an improved understanding of how these competing influences interact on long timescales.

Modelling the effect of stellar metallicity on the XUV evolution of low-mass stars and its impact on exoplanet atmospheres/habitability

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
ABSTRACT Understanding how exoplanet atmospheres evolve is a key question in the context of habitability. One key process governing this evolution is atmospheric evaporation by stellar X-ray and EUV (extreme ultraviolet) emission (collectively, XUV).

Interior structure, mantle-atmosphere co-evolution, and habitability of low-mass exoplanets

2023
Um grundlegende Fragen der Planetenforschung zu beantworten, ist ein fundiertes Verständnis der Zusammensetzung und der Prozesse im Inneren von Exoplaneten eine essenzielle Voraussetzung. Solche Fragen beinhalten beispielsweise, welche Arten von Planeten es geben könnte, welche Mechanismen die Planetenentstehung und -entwicklung steuern, wie ...

Haze Evolution in Temperate Exoplanet Atmospheres: the Laboratory Perspective

2022
With thousands of confirmed detections of exoplanets, recent efforts are focusing on characterizing their atmospheres through transmission spectroscopy. However, opacity sources such as condensation clouds and photochemical hazes have been found to be common in exoplanet atmospheres, muting spectroscopic features of atmospheric species.

Coupling the Atmospheric and Dynamical Evolution of Close-in Exoplanets

The vast majority of the detected exoplanets orbit in less than a month around their star, in extreme conditions unmet in the Solar System. The demographics of these close-in planets exhibit a striking feature: the lack of Neptune-size worlds on very short orbits, also dubbed the "Neptunian desert", which challenges our understanding of planetary ...

Exodus: A mission proposal to explore exoplanet evolution through understanding atmospheric escape

Advances in Space Research
Understanding the variety of system architectures and formation histories of planetary systems remains a major challenge. Current detection methods are strongly biased towards short-period bodies, leaving a gap in the exoplanet population demographics.
