ESCAPE: a small explorer mission to study the stellar drivers of exoplanet evolution
Allison Youngblood, Kevin France, Brian Fleming +37
The long-term stability of exoplanetary atmospheres depends critically on the extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) photon and high-energy particle fluxes from the host star, which are poorly…
Stellar Forcing of (exo)Planetary Environments
Julián D. Alvarado-Gómez, Erika Palmerio, Manuel Güdel +13
The environments of exoplanets are fundamentally shaped by the magnetic activity of their host stars through radiative, plasma, and particle-driven processes. This article presents…
Fe Kα equivalent-width mapping with 3D radiative transfer calculation: A general model and application to the RS Canum Venaticorum-type stars with XRISM/Resolve
Shun Inoue, Masahiro Tsujimoto, Takayuki Hayashi +4
The Fe K fluorescence line at 6.4 keV has long been used to probe the relative geometry between photoionizing X-ray sources and surrounding cold material in a wide range of as…
Stellar Coronal Mass Ejections with HWO: A Science Case Concept
R. O. Parke Loyd, James Paul Mason, Ivey Davis +3
The primary mission of the Habitable World Observatory (HWO) will be to constrain the prevalence of life on Earth-like planets. These planets will be subject to impacts by energeti…
Atmospheric Escape Rates from Mars - If it Orbited an Old M-Dwarf Star
David A. Brain, Ofer Cohen, Thomas E. Cravens +35
Atmospheric escape is an important process that influences the evolution of planetary atmospheres. A variety of physical mechanisms can contribute to escape from an atmosphere, inc…
X-ray and Hα superflare on an RS CVn-type star, UX Arietis: Constraint on the flare location from radial velocity change during the flare
Sota Urabe, Yohko Tsuboi, Kosuke Namekata +5
We report on a giant stellar flare from the RS CVn-type binary UX Arietis, detected with the Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) and followed by a 12-day optical spectroscopic ca…
