The Effects of M Star Age Dependent Ultraviolet Emission on Detecting and Interpreting Exoplanet Biosignatures
C. Evan Davis, Victoria S. Meadows, Evgenya L. Shkolnik +5
Given their abundance and observational advantages, M stars will arguably be the best candidates for characterizing and searching for biosignatures on terrestrial exoplanets in the…
The Impact of Stellar Flares on the Atmospheric Escape of Exoplanets orbiting M stars I: Insights from the AU Mic System
Laura N. R. do Amaral, Evgenya L. Shkolnik, R. O. Parke Loyd +1
The X-rays and Extreme Ultraviolet (XUV) emission from M stars can drive the atmospheric escape on planets orbiting them. M stars are also known for their frequent emission of stel…
Atmospheric Escape From Three Terrestrial Planets in the L 98-59 System
Emeline F. Fromont, John P. Ahlers, Laura N. R. do Amaral +6
A critically important process affecting the climate evolution and potential habitability of an exoplanet is atmospheric escape, in which high-energy radiation from a star drives t…
High Tide or Riptide on the Cosmic Shoreline? A Water-Rich Atmosphere or Stellar Contamination for the Warm Super-Earth GJ~486b from JWST Observations
Sarah E. Moran, Kevin B. Stevenson, David K. Sing +21
Planets orbiting M-dwarf stars are prime targets in the search for rocky exoplanet atmospheres. The small size of M dwarfs renders their planets exceptional targets for transmissio…
Current Population Statistics Do Not Favor Photoevaporation over Core-Powered Mass Loss as the Dominant Cause of the Exoplanet Radius Gap
R. O. P. Loyd, Evgenya L. Shkolnik, Adam C. Schneider +4
We search for evidence of the cause of the exoplanet radius gap, i.e. the dearth of planets with radii near . If the cause was photoevaporation, the radius gap shoul…
A New Model of Roche-lobe Overflow for Short-Period Gaseous Planets and Binary Stars
Brian Jackson, Phil Arras, Kaloyan Penev +2
Some close-in gaseous exoplanets are nearly in Roche-lobe contact, and previous studies show tidal decay can drive hot Jupiters into contact during the main sequence of their host…
Tidal Decay and Stable Roche-Lobe Overflow of Short-Period Gaseous Exoplanets
Brian Jackson, Emily Jensen, Sarah Peacock +2
Many gaseous exoplanets in short-period orbits are on the verge or are in the process of Roche-lobe overflow (RLO). Moreover, orbital stability analysis shows tides can drive many…
