Modelling helium in exoplanet atmospheres. A revised network with photoelectron-driven processes
Antonio García Muñoz
The He I line at 1.08 m is a valuable tracer of atmospheric escape in exoplanet atmospheres. We expand past networks used to predict the absorbing He(2) by including, first…
Secondary ionisation in hot atmospheres and interactions between planetary and stellar winds
Alexandre Gillet, Antoine Strugarek, Antonio García Muñoz
The loss of close-in planetary atmospheres is influenced by various physical processes, such as photoionisation, which could potentially affect the atmosphere survivability on a se…
Ohmic heating in the upper atmosphere of hot exoplanets The influence of a time-varying magnetic field
A. Strugarek, A. García Muñoz, A. S. Brun +1
Exoplanets on close-in orbit are subject to intense X-ray and ultraviolet (XUV) irradiation from their star. Their atmosphere therefore heats up, sometimes to the point where it th…
NLTE modelling of water-rich exoplanet atmospheres. Cooling and heating rates
A. García Muñoz, A. Asensio Ramos, A. Faure
The hydrogen and water molecules respond very differently to the collisional-radiative processes taking place in planetary atmospheres. Naturally, the question arises whether H2O-r…
Self-consistent simulation of photoelectrons in exoplanet winds: Faster ionisation and weaker mass loss rates
Alexande Gillet, Antonio Garcia Munoz, Antoine Strugarek
Planetary mass loss is governed by several physical mechanisms, including photoionisation that may impact the evolution of the atmosphere. Stellar radiation energy deposited as hea…
