The role of the Hubble Space Telescope in advancing our understanding of atmospheric escape in exoplanets

Leonardo A. Dos Santos, Arika Egan, Kevin France +14

An important evolutionary pathway for planetary atmospheres is escape to space, which has been studied on Earth and Mars for several decades and more recently in exoplanets. A part…

The unique ability of the Hubble Space Telescope to characterize young exoplanet environments

Keighley E. Rockcliffe, Allison Youngblood, Kevin France +10

The chemical and mass evolution of exoplanet atmospheres is shaped by their specific X-ray through ultraviolet (5 - 3200 Angstroms) irradiance history. X-ray and EUV (5 - 911 Angst…

The MUSCLES Extension for Atmospheric Transmission Spectroscopy: Spectral energy distributions for 20 exoplanet host stars that JWST observed in Cycle 1

David J. Wilson, Allison Youngblood, Girish M. Duvvuri +11

Correctly interpreting JWST spectra of close-in exoplanets requires a measurement of the X-ray and ultraviolet light that the planets receive from their host stars. Here we provide…

X-ray and UV Observations of the Young Sun HIP~67522: Evidence of Lyman-alpha Absorption Within the Planetary System

Cynthia S. Froning, Allison Youngblood, David J. Wilson +7

We present ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy of the 17 Myr, G0V star, HIP 67522. The UV spectrum is characterized by strong chromospheric and transition region emission lines. There wa…

A Semi-Empirical Estimate of Solar EUV Evolution from 10 Myr to 10 Gyr

Kevin France, Girish Duvvuri, Cynthia Froning +9

The extreme-ultraviolet (EUV; 100 -- 911 Ã ) spectra of F, G, K, and M stars provide diagnostics of the stellar chromosphere through the corona, with line and continuum formation t…

Evidence of a Disk-wind Origin for Fluorescent H in Classical T Tauri Stars

Matt Kalscheur, Kevin France, Brunella Nisini +8

We use FUV spectra of 36 T Tauri stars, predominately from 's ULLYSES program, to examine the kinematic properties of fluorescent H emission li…
