High-Energy Photon and Particle Effects on Exoplanet Atmospheres and Habitability
·
Abstract
Energetic stellar photon and particle radiation evaporates and erodes planetary atmospheres and controls upper atmospheric chemistry. Understanding of exoplanet atmospheres, their evolution and determination of habitability requires a powerful high-resolution X-ray imaging and spectroscopic observatory to characterize stellar energetic radiation.
