Planets orbiting young stars are thought to experience atmospheric evaporation as a result of the host stars’ high magnetic activity. We study the evaporation history and expected future of the three known transiting exoplanets in the young multiplanet system K2-198.
Based on spectroscopic and photometric measurements, we estimate an age of the K-dwarf host star between 200 and 500 Myr, and calculate the high-energy environment of these planets using eROSITA X-ray measurements.
