XUV-driven mass loss from extrasolar giant planets orbiting active stars
J. M. Chadney, M. Galand, Y. C. Unruh +2
Upper atmospheres of Hot Jupiters are subject to extreme radiation conditions that can result in rapid atmospheric escape. The composition and structure of the upper atmospheres of…
Electron densities and alkali atoms in exoplanet atmospheres
Panayotis Lavvas, Tommi Koskinen, Roger V. Yelle
We describe a detailed study on the properties of alkali atoms in extrasolar giant planets, and specifically focus on their role in generating the atmospheric free electron densiti…
Electrodynamics on extrasolar giant planets
T. T. Koskinen, R. V. Yelle, P. Lavvas +1
Strong ionization on close-in extrasolar giant planets suggests that their atmospheres may be affected by ion drag and resistive heating arising from wind-driven electrodynamics. R…
