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

Dynamical Evolution of Closely Packed Multiple Planetary Systems Subject to Atmospheric Mass Loss
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 A gap in exoplanets’ radius distribution has been widely attributed to the photoevaporation threshold of their progenitors’ gaseous envelope. Giant impacts can also lead to substantial mass loss.

Tidal evolution of close-in exoplanets and host stars
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 ABSTRACT The evolution of exoplanetary systems with a close-in planet is ruled by the tides mutually raised on the two bodies and by the magnetic braking of the host star. This paper deals with consequences of this evolution and some features that can be observed in the distribution of the systems' two main periods: the orbital period ...

TOI-1136 is a Young, Coplanar, Aligned Planetary System in a Pristine Resonant Chain
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Convergent disk migration has long been suspected to be responsible for forming planetary systems with a chain of mean-motion resonances (MMRs). Dynamical evolution over time could disrupt the delicate resonant configuration. We present TOI-1136, a 700 ±

The Apparent Tidal Decay of WASP-4 b Can Be Explained by the Rømer Effect
Universe, 2023 Tidal orbital decay plays a vital role in the evolution of hot Jupiter systems. As of now, this has only been observationally confirmed for the WASP-12 system.

Theoretical Spectra of Terrestrial Exoplanet Surfaces [PDF]
, 2012 We investigate spectra of airless rocky exoplanets with a theoretical framework that self-consistently treats reflection and thermal emission. We find that a silicate surface on an exoplanet is spectroscopically detectable via prominent Si-O features in ...
