Impact of Changing Stellar and Planetary Magnetic Fields on (Exo)planetary Environments and Atmospheric Mass Loss

Impact of Changing Stellar and Planetary Magnetic Fields on (Exo)planetary Environments and Atmospheric Mass Loss

The magnetic activity of a star—which modulates the stellar wind outflow—shapes the immediate environments of orbiting (exo)planets and induces atmospheric loss, thereby impacting their habitability. We perform a detailed parameter space study using three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations...
