Paper on the X-ray irradiation and evaporation of exoplanets

Our group’s first paper using data from the German-Russian eROSITA mission has been accepted for publication. My PhD student Grace Foster has investigated the X-ray irradiation and estimated the evaporation of exoplanets using data from eROSITA’s first and second all-sky scan. The paper is available here: Exoplanet X-ray irradiation and evaporation rates with eROSITA Foster, G. ; Poppenhaeger, K. ; Ilic, N. ; Schwope, A. High-energy irradiation is a driver for atmospheric evaporation and mass loss in exoplanets. This work…
