Hydrogen airglow from an escaping ultrahot Jupiter atmosphere
Yapeng Zhang, Chenliang Huang, Aaron Householder +17
Intense high-energy irradiation of close-in gaseous exoplanets drives the rapid escape of their atmospheres, fundamentally shaping planetary demographics. While atmospheric loss is…
Magrathea v2: A planetary interior modeling platform in C++
David R. Rice, Chenliang Huang, Robert Royer +5
Magrathea is an open-source C++ code for modeling the internal structure of differentiated planets. The initial release, Huang et al. (2022), introduced the base solver, a modular…
Uncertainties in the Inference of Internal Structure: The Case of TRAPPIST-1 f
David R. Rice, Chenliang Huang, Jason H. Steffen +1
We use the TRAPPIST-1 system as a model observation of Earth-like planets. The densities of these planets being 1-10% less than the Earth suggest that the outer planets may host si…
PEPSI's non-detection of escaping hydrogen and metal lines adds to the enigma of WASP-12 b
Anusha Pai Asnodkar, Ji Wang, Madelyn Broome +5
WASP-12 b is an ultra-hot Jupiter (UHJ) of special interest for atmospheric studies since it is on an inspiraling orbit in an extreme environment of intense radiation and circumste…
