Habitable Evaporated Cores and the Occurrence of Panspermia near the Galactic Center
Howard Chen, John C. Forbes, Abraham Loeb
Black holes growing via the accretion of gas emit radiation that can photoevaporate the atmospheres of nearby planets. Here we couple planetary structural evolution models of sub-N…
A Unified Model for Galactic Discs: Star Formation, Turbulence Driving, and Mass Transport
Mark R. Krumholz, Blakesley Burkhart, John C. Forbes +1
We introduce a new model for the structure and evolution of the gas in galactic discs. In the model the gas is in vertical pressure and energy balance. Star formation feedback inje…
Evaporation of planetary atmospheres due to XUV illumination by quasars
John C. Forbes, Abraham Loeb
Planetary atmospheres are subject to mass loss through a variety of mechanisms including irradiation by XUV photons from their host star. Here we explore the consequences of XUV ir…
