Observational Signatures Of Circumstellar Gas Tori Formed by Planetary Mass-Loss from Close-In Exoplanets - Astrobiology

Summary by astrobiology.com
Close-in exoplanets with H/He atmospheres often undergo hydrodynamic escape. In extreme cases, it is hypothesized that the mass loss can be high enough for the escaping planetary material to wrap around the star, forming a long-lasting circumstellar torus. In this work, we develop a physical model of such circumstellar tori and use a ray tracing […] The post Observational Signatures Of Circumstellar Gas Tori Formed by Planetary Mass-Loss from Cl…
