The First Naked-Eye Superflare Detected from Proxima Centauri
Ward S. Howard, Matt A. Tilley, Hank Corbett +11
Proxima b is a terrestrial-mass planet in the habitable-zone of Proxima Centauri. Proxima Centauri's high stellar activity however casts doubt on the habitability of Proxima b: suf…
Modeling Repeated M-dwarf Flaring at an Earth-like Planet in the Habitable Zone: I. Atmospheric Effects for an Unmagnetized Planet
Matt A. Tilley, Antigona Segura, Victoria S. Meadows +2
Understanding the impact of active M-dwarf stars on the atmospheric equilibrium and surface conditions of a habitable zone Earth-like planet is key to assessing M dwarf planet habi…
The Pale Green Dot: A Method to Characterize Proxima Centauri b using Exo-Aurorae
Rodrigo Luger, Jacob Lustig-Yaeger, David P. Fleming +5
We examine the feasibility of detecting auroral emission from the potentially habitable exoplanet Proxima Centauri b. Detection of aurorae would yield an independent confirmation o…
Extrasolar giant magnetospheric response to steady-state stellar wind pressure at 10, 5, 1, and 0.2 AU
Matt A. Tilley, Erika M. Harnett, Robert M. Winglee
A three-dimensional, multifluid simulation of a giant planet's magnetospheric interaction with steady-state stellar wind from a Sun-like star was performed for four different orbit…
