Evolution of the Solar Activity over Time and Effects on Planetary Atmospheres. I. High-Energy Irradiances (1-1700 Å)
- I. Ribas, E. Guinan, U. Columbia
- Physics, Geology
- 10 December 2004
We report on the results of the Sun in Time multiwavelength program (X-rays to UV) of solar analogs with ages covering ~0.1-7 Gyr. The chief science goals are to study the solar magnetic dynamo and…
Habitable planets around the star Gliese 581
- F. Selsis, J. Kasting, B. Levrard, J. Paillet, I. Ribas, X. Delfosse
- Geology, Physics
- 28 October 2007
Radial velocity surveys are now able to detect terrestrial planets at habitable distance from M-type stars. Recently, two planets with minimum masses below 10 Earth masses were reported in a triple…
A possible black hole in the γ-ray microquasar LS 5039
- J. Casares, M. Ribó, I. Ribas, J. Paredes, J. Martí, A. Herrero
- Physics
- 22 July 2005
The population of high-energy and very high-energy γ-ray sources, detected with EGRET and the new generation of ground-based Cherenkov telescopes, forms a reduced but physically important sample.…
Orbital parameters of the microquasar LS I +61 303
- J. Casares, I. Ribas, J. Paredes, J. Martí, C. Prieto
- Physics, Geology
- 14 April 2005
New optical spectroscopy of the high-mass X-ray binary microquasar LS I +61 303 is presented. Eccentric orbital fits to our radial velocity measurements yield updated orbital parameters in good…
Estimation of the XUV radiation onto close planets and their evaporation
- J. Sanz-Forcada, G. Micela, D. García-Álvarez
- Physics, Geology
- 3 May 2011
Context. The current distribution of planet mass vs. incident stellar X-ray flux supports the idea that photoevaporation of the atmosphere may take place in close-in planets. Integrated effects have…
The initial–final mass relationship of white dwarfs revisited: effect on the luminosity function and mass distribution
- S. Catalán, J. Isern, E. García-Berro, I. Ribas
- Physics
- 18 April 2008
The initial-final mass relationship connects the mass of a white dwarf with the mass of its progenitor in the main-sequence. Although this function is of fundamental importance to several fields in…
The Evolution of Solar Flux from 0.1 nm to 160 μm: Quantitative Estimates for Planetary Studies
- M. Claire, J. Sheets, Martin Cohen, I. Ribas, V. Meadows, D. Catling
- Physics, Geology
- 6 September 2012
Understanding changes in the solar flux over geologic time is vital for understanding the evolution of planetary atmospheres because it affects atmospheric escape and chemistry, as well as climate.…
The distance to the Andromeda galaxy from eclipsing binaries
- F. Vilardell, I. Ribas, C. Jordi, E. Fitzpatrick, E. Guinan
- Physics
- 17 November 2009
The cosmic distance scale largely depends on distance determinations to galaxies of the Local Group. In this sense, the Andromeda galaxy (M 31) is a key rung to better constrain the cosmic distance…
Absolute Dimensions of the M-Type Eclipsing Binary YY Geminorum (Castor C): A Challenge to Evolutionary Models in the Lower Main Sequence*
We present new spectroscopic observations of the detached late-type double-lined eclipsing binary YY Geminorum (P = 0.814 day), a member of the Castor sextuple system and one of the benchmarks for…
Atmospheric Loss of Exoplanets Resulting from Stellar X-Ray and Extreme-Ultraviolet Heating
Past studies addressing the thermal atmospheric escape of hydrogen from hot Jupiters have been based on the planet's effective temperature, which, as we show here, is not physically relevant for loss…
