As announced in a previous issue of the XMM-Newton Newsletter, the XMM-Newton Science Operations Centre of the European Space Agency is organising the Science Workshop 2021 "A High-Energy View of Exoplanets and Their Environments", from 24 to 28 May 2021, the workshop will be held as an online Video Conference.

AIMS AND SCOPE OF THE MEETING

This workshop will bring together scientists working on exoplanets and their environments in relation to observables in the high-energy band with XMM-Newton and Chandra. Topics such as exoplanetary atmospheres, stellar high-energy irradiation, exoplanet formation, and interactions between stars and exoplanets will be explored. The wealth of current and upcoming exoplanet discovery missions such as TESS, CHEOPS and PLATO, as well as the continuing bright future of high-energy observations with missions like eROSITA and Athena make this workshop a timely event.

Topics

  • Exoplanet atmospheres
  • Stellar magnetic activity
  • Star-planet interactions
  • Extreme environments of planets
  • Star and planet formation
  • Future missions
