Giant impacts preferentially remove low-mass atmospheres: a generalised scaling law for impact-driven atmospheric loss

Matthew J. Roche, Simon J. Lock, Philip J. Carter +1

Impact-driven atmospheric loss plays a key role in shaping the diversity of planetary atmospheres. However, existing prescriptions for calculating loss from a given impact neglect…

Aerosols are not Spherical Cows: Using Discrete Dipole Approximation to Model the Properties of Fractal Particles

Matt G. Lodge, Hannah R. Wakeford, Zoe M. Leinhardt

The optical properties of particulate-matter aerosols, within the context of exoplanet and brown dwarf atmospheres, are compared using three different models: Mie theory, Modified…

A super-massive Neptune-sized planet

L. Naponiello, L. Mancini, A. Sozzetti +55

Neptune-sized planets exhibit a wide range of compositions and densities, depending onf cators related to their formation and evolution history, such as the distance from their hos…

A compact multi-planet system transiting HIP 29442 (TOI-469) discovered by TESS and ESPRESSO. Radial velocities lead to the detection of transits with low signal-to-noise ratio

M. Damasso, J. Rodrigues, A. Castro-González +52

We followed-up with ESPRESSO the K0V star HIP 29442 (TOI-469), already known to host a validated sub-Neptune companion TOI-469.01. We aim to verify the planetary nature of TOI-469.…

Isolating the extreme debris disc signature -- explorations of eccentric extreme debris discs formed by giant impacts

Thomas Lewis, Lewis Watt, Zoë M Leinhardt

In this work, we used N-body simulations and a radiative transfer package to model the evolution of eccentric debris discs produced by giant impacts between planetary embryos. This…

Atmosphere Loss in Oblique Super-Earth Impacts

Thomas R. Denman, Zoe M. Leinhardt, Philip J. Carter

Using smoothed particle hydrodynamics we model giant impacts of Super-Earth mass rocky planets between an atmosphere-less projectile and an atmosphere-rich target. In this work we…
