Space Physics of Star–Planet Interactions II Posters


Session ID#: 40217

Session Description:
Exoplanet research is rapidly transitioning from a prolific period of detection to a new phase focused on physical characterization and discovery. This is an emerging area for exploration by the TESS science community. Understanding the possible habitability of such planets requires a deeper knowledge of how stars and planets interact and, in particular, what role stellar and planetary magnetic fields play in this interaction. In the proposed session we aim to focus on the key elements in the Sun-Earth interaction that are the most relevant to address general star-planet systems. Specifically,for TESS, we would like to address the impact of strong stellar activity on planetary atmospheres, relevant to recent habitable-zone terrestrial planet discoveries (Proxima Centauri and Trappist-1 systems).
