Efficient metal emissions in the upper atmospheres of close-in exoplanets
Atmospheric escape is a key process controlling the long term evolution of planets. Radiative cooling competes for energy against atmospheric escape in planetary upper atmospheres. In this work, we use a population balance method and a Monte Carlo model to calculate the previously ignored emissions...
