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…
