Overcoming the limitations of the energy-limited approximation for planet atmospheric escape
Daria Kubyshkina, Luca Fossati, Nikolay V. Erkaev +6
Studies of planetary atmospheric composition, variability, and evolution require appropriate theoretical and numerical tools to estimate key atmospheric parameters, among which the…
A grid of upper atmosphere models for 1--40 MEARTH planets: application to CoRoT-7 b and HD219134 b,c
Daria Kubyshkina, Luca Fossati, Nicolay V. Erkaev +5
There is growing observational and theoretical evidence suggesting that atmospheric escape is a key driver of planetary evolution. Commonly, planetary evolution models employ simpl…
Interaction of infalling solid bodies with primordial atmospheres of disk-embedded planets
Florian Ragossnig, Alexander Stökl, Ernst Dorfi +3
Planets that form early enough to be embedded in the circumstellar gas disk accumulate thick atmospheres of nebular gas. Models of these atmospheres need to specify the surface lum…
The Upper Atmospheres of Terrestrial Planets: Carbon Dioxide Cooling and the Earth's Thermospheric Evolution
Colin P. Johnstone, Manuel Güdel, Helmut Lammer +1
Context: The thermal and chemical structures of the upper atmospheres of planets crucially influence losses to space and must be understood to constrain the effects of losses on at…
Effective induction heating around strongly magnetized stars
K. G. Kislyakova, L. Fossati, C. P. Johnstone +4
Planets that are embedded in the changing magnetic fields of their host stars can experience significant induction heating in their interiors caused by the planet's orbital motion.…
Life Beyond the Solar System: Space Weather and Its Impact on Habitable Worlds
V. S. Airapetian, W. C. Danchi, C. F. Dong +33
The search of life in the Universe is a fundamental problem of astrobiology and a major priority for NASA. A key area of major progress since the NASA Astrobiology Strategy 2015 (N…
