Аннотация: The discovery of transiting 'super-Earths' with inflated radii and known masses, such as Kepler-11b-f, GJ 1214b and 55 Cnc e, indicates that these exoplanets did not lose their nebula-captured hydrogen-rich, degassed or impact-delivered protoatmospheres by atmospheric escape processes. Because hydrodynamic blow-off of atmospheric hydrogen atoms is the most efficient atmospheric escape process we apply a time-dependent numerical algorithm which is able to solve the system of 1D fluid equations for mass, momentum and energy conservation to investigate the criteria under which 'super-Earths' with hydrogen-dominated upper atmospheres can experience hydrodynamic expansion by heating of the stellar soft X-rays and extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation and thermal escape via blow-off. Depending on orbit location, XUV flux, heating efficiency and the planet's mean density our results indicate that the upper atmospheres of all 'super-Earths' can expand to large distances, so that except for Kepler-11c all of them experience atmospheric mass-loss due to Roche lobe overflow. The atmospheric mass loss of the studied 'super-Earths' is one to two orders of magnitude lower compared to that of 'hot Jupiters' such as HD 209458b, so that one can expect that these exoplanets cannot lose their hydrogen envelopes during their remaining lifetimes.

    Stellar-planetary relations: Atmospheric stability as a prerequisite for planetary habitability

Аннотация: The region around a star where a life-supporting biosphere can evolve is the so-called Habitable Zone (HZ). The current definition of the HZ is based only on the mass-luminosity relation of the star and climatological and meteorological considerations of Earth-like planets, but neglects atmospheric loss processes due to the interaction with the stellar radiation and particle environment. From the knowledge of the planets in the Solar System, we know that planets can only evolve into a habitable world if they have a stable orbit around its host star and if they keep the atmosphere and water inventory during: (i) the period of heavy bombardment by asteroids and comets and (ii) during the host stars' active X-ray and extreme ultraviolet (XUV) and stellar wind periods. Impacts play a minor role for planets with the size and mass like Earth, while high XUV fluxes and strong stellar winds during the active periods of the young host star can destroy the atmospheres and water inventories. We show that XUV produced temperatures in the upper atmospheres of Earth-like planets can lead to hydrodynamic "blow off", resulting in the total loss of the planets water inventory and atmosphere, even if their orbits lie inside the HZ. Further, our study indicates that Earth-like planets inside the HZ of low mass stars may not develop an atmosphere, because at orbital distances closer than 0.3 AU, their atmospheres are highly affected by strong stellar winds and coronal mass ejections (CME's). Our study suggests that planetary magnetospheres will not protect the atmosphere of such planets, because the strong stellar wind of the young star can compress the magnetopause to the atmospheric obstacle. Moreover, planets inside close-in HZ's are tidally locked, therefore, their magnetic moments are weaker than those of an Earth-like planet at 1 AU. Our results indicate that Earth-like planets in orbits of low mass stars may not develop stable biospheres. From this point of view, a HZ, where higher life forms like on Earth may evolve is possibly restricted to higher mass K stars and G stars.

Аннотация: We investigate the interaction between the magnetized stellar wind plasma and the partially ionized hydrodynamic hydrogen outflow from the escaping upper atmosphere of non-magnetized or weakly magnetized hot Jupiters. We use the well-studied hot Jupiter HD 209458b as an example for similar exoplanets, assuming a negligible intrinsic magnetic moment. For this planet, the stellar wind plasma interaction forms an obstacle in the planet's upper atmosphere, in which the position of the magnetopause is determined by the condition of pressure balance between the stellar wind and the expanded atmosphere, heated by the stellar extreme ultraviolet radiation. We show that the neutral atmospheric atoms penetrate into the region dominated by the stellar wind, where they are ionized by photoionization and charge exchange, and then mixed with the stellar wind flow. Using a 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model, we show that an induced magnetic field forms in front of the planetary obstacle, which appears to be much stronger compared to those produced by the solar wind interaction with Venus and Mars. Depending on the stellar wind parameters, because of the induced magnetic field, the planetary obstacle can move up to approximate to 0.5-1 planetary radii closer to the planet. Finally, we discuss how estimations of the intrinsic magnetic moment of hot Jupiters can be inferred by coupling hydrodynamic upper planetary atmosphere and MHD stellar wind interaction models together with UV observations. In particular, we find that HD 209458b should likely have an intrinsic magnetic moment of 10-20 per cent that of Jupiter.
