Mapping out the time-evolution of exoplanet processes [PDF]
, 2019 There are many competing theories and models describing the formation, migration and evolution of exoplanet systems. As both the precision with which we can characterize exoplanets and their host stars, and the number of systems for which we can make ...

Stellar magnetic activity – Star-Planet Interactions
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 Stellar magnetic activity is an important factor in the formation and evolution of exoplanets. Magnetic phenomena like stellar flares, coronal mass ejections, and high-energy emission affect the exoplanetary atmosphere and its mass loss over time.

True Polar Wander of Lava Worlds
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 As one of the most detectable types of terrestrial planets, lava worlds are highly prioritized targets for exoplanet atmosphere characterization since their atmospheres may reveal what they are made of and how.

Thermal and Orbital Evolution of Low-mass Exoplanets [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2020 Abstract The thermal, orbital, and rotational dynamics of tidally loaded exoplanets are interconnected by intricate feedback. The rheological structure of the planet determines its susceptibility to tidal deformation and, as a consequence, participates in shaping its orbit.

Surrounded by Giants: Habitable Zone Stability Within the HD 141399 System
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The search for exoplanets has revealed a diversity of planetary system architectures, the vast majority of which diverge significantly from the template of the solar system.

Evolution of exoplanets and their parent stars [PDF]
EAS Publications Series, 2014 Studying exoplanets with their parent stars is crucial to understand their population, formation and history. We review some of the key questions regarding their evolution with particular emphasis on giant gaseous exoplanets orbiting close to solar-type stars.

Evolution of Planetary Obliquity: The Eccentric Kozai–Lidov Mechanism Coupled with Tide
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Planetary obliquity plays a significant role in determining the physical properties of planetary surfaces and climate. As direct detection is constrained due to the present observation accuracy, kinetic theories are helpful for predicting the evolution ...

Exoplanet atmosphere evolution: emulation with neural networks
Monthly 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.
