Preparing for the Early eVolution Explorer: Detecting the Primordial, Transiting Exoplanet Population
George Zhou, James G. Rogers, Jennifer A. Burt +17
The close-in small planet population may be formed either with hydrogen/helium dominated envelopes or with water-rich interiors. Both scenarios reproduce the present day planet pop…
Secret of Longevity: Protoplanetary Disks as a Source of Gas in Debris Disks
Wataru Ooyama, Riouhei Nakatani, Takashi Hosokawa +2
While protoplanetary disks (PPDs) are generally thought to disperse within several million years, recent observations have revealed gas in their older counterparts, debris disks. T…
Water vapor as a probe of the origin of gas in debris disks
Yasuhiro Hasegawa, Riouhei Nakatani, Isabel Rebollido +5
Debris disks embrace the formation and evolution histories of planetary systems. Recent detections of gas in these disks have received considerable attention, as its origin ties up…
Broadening the Canonical Picture of EUV-Driven Photoevaporation of Accretion Disks
Riouhei Nakatani, Neal J. Turner, Shinsuke Takasao
Photoevaporation driven by hydrogen-ionizing radiation, also known as extreme-ultraviolet (EUV), profoundly shapes the lives of diverse astrophysical objects. Focusing here mainly…
