Hydrogen dominated atmospheres on terrestrial mass planets: evidence, origin and evolution
J. E. Owen, I. F. Shaikhislamov, H. Lammer +2
The discovery of thousands of highly irradiated, low-mass, exoplanets has led to the idea that atmospheric escape is an important process that can drive their evolution. Of particu…
The nature and origins of sub-Neptune size planets
Jacob L. Bean, Sean N. Raymond, James E. Owen
Planets intermediate in size between the Earth and Neptune, and orbiting closer to their host stars than Mercury does the Sun, are the most common type of planet revealed by exopla…
Constraining the entropy of formation from young transiting planets
James E. Owen
Recently K2 and TESS have discovered transiting planets with radii between 5-10 R around stars with ages Myr. These young planets are likely to be the progen…
A review of possible planetary atmospheres in the TRAPPIST-1 system
Martin Turbet, Emeline Bolmont, Vincent Bourrier +4
TRAPPIST-1 is a fantastic nearby (~39.14 light years) planetary system made of at least seven transiting terrestrial-size, terrestrial-mass planets all receiving a moderate amount…
Unveiling the Planet Population at Birth
James G. Rogers, James E. Owen
The radius distribution of small, close-in exoplanets has recently been shown to be bimodal. The photoevaporation model predicted this bimodality. In the photoevaporation scenario,…
Snow-lines can be thermally unstable
James E. Owen
Volatile species in protoplanetary discs can undergo a phase change from vapour to solid. These "snow-lines" can play vital roles in planet formation at all scales, from dust coagu…
