On the Formation of Planets in the Milky Way’s Thick Disk by Tim Hallatt, Eve J. Lee

“…Coupling the radiation field to a one-dimensional protoplanetary disk evolution model, we find that external UV photoevaporation destroys protoplanetary disks in just ∼0.2–0.5 Myr, limiting the timescale over which planets can assemble. …”

Detectability of Emission from Exoplanet Outflows Calculated by pyTPCI, a New 1D Radiation-hydrodynamic Code by Riley Rosener, Michael Zhang, Jacob L. Bean

“…Photoevaporation in exoplanet atmospheres is thought to contribute to the shaping of the small planet radius valley. …”

Tracing the Winds: A Uniform Interpretation of Helium Escape in Exoplanets from Archival Spectroscopic Observations by Patrick McCreery, Leonardo A. Dos Santos, Néstor Espinoza, Romain Allart, James Kirk

“…We constrain population-level photoevaporative efficiencies to 0.34 ± 0.13 and 0.75 ± 0.21 for hydrogen-helium fractions of 0.90 and 0.99, respectively. …”
