Equatorial slices showing the solar/stellar wind solution for Trappist-1e (left column) and for solar Carrington Rotation 1916 (right column). Color contours are of magnetic field strength (top) and number density (bottom). Also shown is the orbit of Trappist-1e at 0.028 au and the hypothetical orbits at 0.05 and 0.1 au as solid black circles. Selected magnetic field lines are shown in gray. -- The Astrophysical Journal

Heating of the Atmospheres of Short-orbit Exoplanets by Their Rapid Orbital Motion through an Extreme Space Environment

by Keith CowingFebruary 22, 2024February 22, 2024

Exoplanets with short orbit periods reside very close to their host stars. They transition very rapidly between different sectors of the circumstellar space environment along their orbit, leading to large […]
