| 摘要 | Jeans escape or hydrodynamic escape is believed to dominate atmospheric loss for hot Jupiters. However, nonthermal mechanisms likely contribute substantially on hydrogen-rich super-Earths with relatively cold and extended atmospheres. This study is devoted to investigating the role of stellar wind sputtering on Kepler-11b-f, with the aid of Monte Carlo test particle calculations. Such a mechanism is widely known to be important on many solar system bodies, but its impact has never been evaluated rigorously on any exoplanet. Our calculations reveal complicated variations of the H sputtering yield with the stellar wind inclination angle and neutral heating efficiency at different Kepler-11 planets. Further calculations suggest the H loss rates on Kepler-11b-f to be 2.8 x 106-1.5 x 108 g s-1, driven by stellar wind sputtering. The H loss rate obtained here is compared to those driven by other mechanisms, indicating that the importance of stellar wind sputtering is highly variable and this mechanism could induce a large atmospheric loss rate comparable to the blow-off rate driven by stellar far-ultraviolet radiation, in particular for planets with relatively low gravities. |
