Astro2020 APC White Paper: Theoretical Astrophysics 2020-2030

Juna A. Kollmeier, Lauren Anderson, Andrew Benson +20

The past two decades have seen a tremendous investment in observational facilities that promise to reveal new and unprecedented discoveries about the universe. In comparison, the i…

Testing exoplanet evaporation with multi-transiting systems

James Owen, Beatriz Campos Estrada

The photoevaporation model is one of the leading explanations for the evolution of small, close-in planets and the origin of the radius-valley. However, without planet mass measure…

Effects of Magnetic Fields on the Location of the Evaporation Valley for Low-Mass Exoplanets

James E Owen, Fred C Adams

The observed distribution of radii for exoplanets shows a bimodal form that can be explained by mass-loss from planetary atmospheres due to high energy radiation emitted by their h…

Radiation pressure clear-out of dusty photoevaporating discs

James E Owen, Juna A Kollmeier

Theoretical models of protoplanetary disc dispersal predict a phase where photoevaporation has truncated the disc at several AU, creating a pressure trap which is dust-rich. Previo…

The dispersal of protoplanetary discs I: A new generation of X-ray photoevaporation models

Giovanni Picogna, Barbara Ercolano, James E. Owen +1

Photoevaporation of planet forming discs by high energy radiation from the central star is potentially a crucial mechanism for disc evolution and it may play an important role in t…

High-Energy Photon and Particle Effects onExoplanet Atmospheres and Habitability

Jeremy J. Drake, Julián D. Alvarado-Gómez, Vladimir Airapetian +41

It is now recognized that energetic stellar photon and particle radiation evaporates and erodes planetary atmospheres and controls upper atmospheric chemistry. Key exoplanet host s…
