Blowin’ in the Nonisothermal Wind: Core-powered Mass Loss with Hydrodynamic Radiative Transfer

The mass loss rates of planets undergoing core-powered escape are usually modeled using an isothermal Parker-type wind at the equilibrium temperature, T _eq . However, the upper atmospheres of sub-Neptunes may not be isothermal if there are significant differences between the opacity to incident vis...
