Characterization Of The Regimes Of Hydrodynamic Escape From Low-mass Exoplanets

by Keith Cowing

The hydrodynamic escape driven by external or internal energy sources sculpts the population of low mass close-in planets. However, distinguishing between the driving mechanisms responsible for the hydrodynamic escape of […]
