The High-Energy Radiation Environment Around a 10 Gyr M Dwarf: Habitable at Last?

Kevin France, Girish Duvvuri, Hilary Egan +20

High levels of X-ray and UV activity on young M dwarfs may drive rapid atmospheric escape on temperate, terrestrial planets orbiting within the liquid water habitable zone. However…

Planetary Magnetic Field Control of Ion Escape from Weakly Magnetized Planets

Hilary Egan, Riku Jarvinen, Yingjuan Ma +1

Intrinsic magnetic fields have long been thought to shield planets from atmospheric erosion via stellar winds; however, the influence of the plasma environment on atmospheric escap…

Stellar Influence on Heavy Ion Escape from Unmagnetized Exoplanets

Hilary Egan, Riku Jarvinen, David Brain

Planetary habitability is in part determined by the atmospheric evolution of a planet; one key component of such evolution is escape of heavy ions to space. Ion loss processes are…

Length Scales and Turbulent Properties of Magnetic Fields in Simulated Galaxy Clusters

Hilary Egan, Brian W. O'Shea, Eric Hallman +5

Additional physics beyond standard hydrodynamics is needed to fully model the intracluster medium (ICM); however, as we move to more sophisticated models, it is important to consid…

Bringing Simulation and Observation Together to Better Understand the Intergalactic Medium

Hilary Egan, Britton D. Smith, Brian W. O'Shea +1

The methods by which one characterizes the distribution of matter in cosmological simulations is intrinsically different from how one performs the same task observationally. In thi…
