Interior Structure and Atmospheric Retention of Tidally Locked Planets in the Extended Habitable Zone around M Dwarfs

To the point

This study examines whether several tidally locked, small exoplanets around M-dwarfs in the extended habitable zone could host surface liquid water or retain atmospheres by estimating their stars’ properties from archival data and modeling the planets’ interiors and atmospheric loss, finding a mix of water-rich candidates and rocky worlds with little gas, and highlighting how interior and escape models refine habitability prospects; authors include Sushmita Deb, Kaushal Sharma, Samrat Biswas, and Biman Jyoti Medhi.
