Long-term X-ray variability of the multiple-planet host L 98-59: Hints of an activity cycle
I. Pillitteri, S. Bellotti, S. Benatti +7
High-energy irradiation in X-rays and UV (XUV) can transform the planetary atmospheres through photoevaporation and photochemistry. This is more crucial for M stars, whose habitabl…
Empirical prediction of plasma emission measure distributions and X-EUV spectra of late-type stars
Antonio Maggio, Ignazio Pillitteri, Jorge Sanz-Forcada +1
High-energy emission spectra from the outer atmospheres of late-type stars represent an important feature of the stellar activity in several contexts, such as the photoevaporation…
A scaling relationship for non-thermal radio emission from ordered magnetospheres - II. Investigating the efficiency of relativistic electron production in magnetospheres of BA-type stars
P. Leto, S. Owocki, C. Trigilio +19
Magnetic BA stars host dipole-like magnetospheres. When detected as radio sources, their luminosities correlate with the magnetic field and rotation. Rotation is crucial because th…
XUV irradiation of young planetary atmospheres. Results from a joint XMM-Newton and HST observation of HIP67522
A. Maggio, I. Pillitteri, C. Argiroffi +3
The evaporation and the chemistry of the atmospheres of warm and hot planets are strongly determined by the high-energy irradiation they receive from their parent stars. This is mo…
The enigmatic dance of the HD 189733A system: Does the planet accrete onto the star?
Salvatore Colombo, Ignazio Pillitteri, Antonino Petralia +2
Several studies suggest that the emission properties of a star can be affected by its interaction with a nearby planet. However, the actual observability of these effects remains a…
XUV emission of the young planet-hosting star V1298\,Tau from coordinated observations with XMM-Newton and HST
A. Maggio, I. Pillitteri, C. Argiroffi +16
Atmospheric mass loss plays a major role in the evolution of exoplanets. This process is driven by the stellar high-energy irradiation, especially in the first hundreds of millions…
