The Propitious Role of Solar Energetic Particles in the Origin of Life
Manasvi Lingam, Chuanfei Dong, Xiaohua Fang +2
We carry out 3-D numerical simulations to assess the penetration and bombardment effects of Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs), i.e. high-energy particle bursts during large flares a…
Impact and mitigation strategy for future solar flares
Manasvi Lingam, Abraham Loeb
It is widely established that extreme space weather events associated with solar flares are capable of causing widespread technological damage. We develop a simple mathematical mod…
The dehydration of water worlds via atmospheric losses
Chuanfei Dong, Zhenguang Huang, Manasvi Lingam +3
We present a three-species multi-fluid MHD model (H, HO and e), endowed with the requisite atmospheric chemistry, that is capable of accurately quantifying the magn…
Reduced Diversity of Life Around Proxima Centauri and TRAPPIST-1
Manasvi Lingam, Abraham Loeb
The recent discovery of potentially habitable exoplanets around Proxima Centauri and TRAPPIST-1 has attracted much attention due to their potential for hosting life. We delineate a…
Risks for life on habitable planets from superflares of their host stars
Manasvi Lingam, Abraham Loeb
We explore some of the ramifications arising from superflares on the evolutionary history of Earth, other planets in the Solar system, and exoplanets. We propose that the most powe…
Plasmoid Instability in Forming Current Sheets
Luca Comisso, Manasvi Lingam, Yi-Min Huang +1
The plasmoid instability has revolutionized our understanding of magnetic reconnection in astrophysical environments. By preventing the formation of highly elongated reconnection l…
