Cold day-side winds shape large leading streams in evaporating exoplanet atmospheres
F. Nail, M. MacLeod, A. OklopÄiÄ +3
Recent observations of planetary atmospheres in HAT-P-32 b and HAT-P-67 b reveal extensive outflows reaching up to hundreds of planetary radii. The helium 1083 nm light curves for…
Streams and Bubbles: Tidal Shaping of Planetary Outflows
Morgan MacLeod, Antonija OklopÄiÄ, Fabienne Nail +1
Planets lose mass to atmospheric outflows, and this mass loss is thought to be central in shaping the bimodal population of gaseous giant and rocky terrestrial exoplanets in close…
sunset: A database of synthetic atmospheric-escape transmission spectra for nearly every transiting planet
Dion Linssen, Antonija OklopÄiÄ, Morgan MacLeod
Studying atmospheric escape from exoplanets can provide important clues about the formation and evolution of exoplanets. Observational evidence of atmospheric escape has been obtai…
The open-source sunbather code: modeling escaping planetary atmospheres and their transit spectra
Dion Linssen, Jim Shih, Morgan MacLeod +1
Atmospheric escape is thought to significantly influence the evolution of exoplanets, especially for sub-Jupiter planets on short orbital periods. Theoretical models predict that h…
