Stellar X-Ray Variability and Planetary Evolution in the DS Tucanae System by George W. King, Lía R. Corrales, Vincent Bourrier, Leonardo A. Dos Santos, Lauren Doyle, Baptiste Lavie, Gavin Ramsay, Peter J. Wheatley

“…In simulations of the possible evolution of the currently super-Neptune-sized planet DS Tuc A b, we find a range of scenarios for the planet once it reaches a typical field age of 5 Gyr, from Neptune size down to a completely stripped super-Earth. Improved constraints on the planet's mass in the future would significantly narrow these possibilities. …”
