Investigating the Atmospheric Mass Loss of the Kepler-105 Planets Straddling the Radius Gap

Investigating the Atmospheric Mass Loss of the Kepler-105 Planets Straddling the Radius Gap

An intriguing pattern among exoplanets is the lack of detected planets between approximately 1.5 R _⊕ and 2.0 R _⊕ . One proposed explanation for this “radius gap” is the photoevaporation of planetary atmospheres, a theory that can be tested by studying individual planetary systems. Kepler-105 is an...
