Planetary Magnetic Field Control of Ion Escape from Weakly Magnetized Planets
Hilary Egan, Riku Jarvinen, Yingjuan Ma +1
Intrinsic magnetic fields have long been thought to shield planets from atmospheric erosion via stellar winds; however, the influence of the plasma environment on atmospheric escap…
Stellar Influence on Heavy Ion Escape from Unmagnetized Exoplanets
Hilary Egan, Riku Jarvinen, David Brain
Planetary habitability is in part determined by the atmospheric evolution of a planet; one key component of such evolution is escape of heavy ions to space. Ion loss processes are…
The Super-Earth Opportunity - Search for Habitable Exoplanets in the 2020s
Renyu Hu, Charles A. Beichman, David Brain +23
The recent discovery of a staggering diversity of planets beyond the Solar System has brought with it a greatly expanded search space for habitable worlds. The Kepler exoplanet sur…
The Inner Solar System's Habitability Through Time
Anthony D. Del Genio, David Brain, Lena Noack +1
Earth, Mars, and Venus, irradiated by an evolving Sun, have had fascinating but diverging histories of habitability. Although only Earth's surface is considered to be habitable tod…
Modeling Martian Atmospheric Losses over Time: Implications for Exoplanetary Climate Evolution and Habitability
Chuanfei Dong, Yuni Lee, Yingjuan Ma +11
In this Letter, we make use of sophisticated 3D numerical simulations to assess the extent of atmospheric ion and photochemical losses from Mars over time. We demonstrate that the…
Magnetic Fields of Extrasolar Planets: Planetary Interiors and Habitability
J. Lazio, G. Hallinan, V. Airapetian +13
Jupiter's radio emission has been linked to its planetary-scale magnetic field, and spacecraft investigations have revealed that most planets, and some moons, have or had a global…
