Probing the extent of WASP-52 b's atmosphere. High-resolution observations and 3D modeling insights

F. Nail, A. Oklopčić, M. MacLeod +5

WASP-52 b is an inflated hot Jupiter with a large Roche lobe filling fraction, positioned in the hot Neptune desert. Previous in-transit observations of the helium triplet at 10833…

Streams and Bubbles: Tidal Shaping of Planetary Outflows

Morgan MacLeod, Antonija Oklopčić, 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 Oklopčić, 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…

Atmospheric Mass Loss from TOI-1259 A b, a Gas Giant Planet With a White Dwarf Companion

Morgan Saidel, Shreyas Vissapragada, Jessica Spake +6

The lack of close-in Neptune-mass exoplanets evident in transit surveys has largely been attributed either to photoevaporative mass loss or high-eccentricity migration. To distingu…

Helium in the Extended Atmosphere of the Warm Super-Puff TOI-1420b

Shreyas Vissapragada, Michael Greklek-McKeon, Dion Linssen +11

Super-puffs are planets with exceptionally low densities (~g~cm) and core masses (). Many lower-mass () super-…

Detection of an Atmospheric Outflow from the Young Hot Saturn TOI-1268b

Jorge Pérez González, Michael Greklek-McKeon, Shreyas Vissapragada +4

Photoevaporative mass-loss rates are expected to be highest when planets are young and the host star is more active, but to date there have been relatively few measurements of mass…

Constraining planetary mass-loss rates by simulating Parker wind profiles with Cloudy

Dion Linssen, Antonija Oklopčić, Morgan MacLeod

Models of exoplanet atmospheres based on Parker-wind density and velocity profiles are a common choice in fitting spectroscopic observations tracing planetary atmospheric escape. I…
