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 particular …

Partially ionized plasmas are found across the Universe in many different astrophysical
environments. They constitute an essential ingredient of the solar atmosphere, molecular …

Proxima b is a planet with a minimum mass of 1.3M⊕ orbiting within the habitable zone (HZ)
of Proxima Centauri, a very low-mass, active star and the Sun's closest neighbor. Here we …

Aims. We study the evolution of stellar rotation and wind properties for low-mass main-
sequence stars. Our aim is to use rotational evolution models to constrain the mass loss …

Transit observations of HD 209458b in the stellar Lyman-α (Lyα) line revealed strong
absorption in both blue and red wings of the line interpreted as hydrogen atoms escaping …

We investigate the effect of the magnetic fields of M dwarf (dM) stars on potentially habitable
Earth-like planets. These fields can reduce the size of planetary magnetospheres to such an …

This is the second paper in a series where we build a self-consistent model to simulate the
mass-loss process of a close-orbit magnetized giant exoplanet, so-called hot Jupiter (HJ). In …

The atmospheres of highly irradiated exoplanets are observed to undergo hydrodynamic
escape. However, due to strong pressures, stellar winds can confine planetary atmospheres …

Context. The magnetic activity of planet-hosting stars is an important factor for estimating the
atmospheric stability of close-in exoplanets and the age of their host stars. It has long been …

Detecting heavy atoms in the inflated atmospheres of giant exoplanets that orbit close to
their parent stars is a key factor for understanding their bulk composition, their evolution, and …
