Stellar storms in other worlds: implications for the stability of exoplanetary atmospheres

Stellar storms in other worlds: implications for the stability of exoplanetary atmospheres

Stellar storms modify the atmospheric evolution of planets. ‘Hot Jupiter’ planets being very close to their host star, are often affected by such storms. In this week’s peculiar planet, Gopal Hazra, a post-doctoral fellow at the School of Physics, Trinity College Dublin, discusses effect of stellar storms on those planets using his self-consistent hydrodynamic models of planetary ...[Read More]
