This project will conduct the first in-depth examination of the atmospheres of newly born small planets around other stars, yielding a better understanding of how planets evolve early in their lives. The atmosphere of our Earth is its most distinguishing feature. Key outcomes of this project include unveiling the mechanisms that drive the erosion of early planetary atmospheres, leading to a better understanding of the processes that sculpt all planets, including those in our own Solar System. The project leverages Australian and international expertise across exoplanetary, stellar, and Solar System astrophysics, with key outcomes in developing techniques for Australian utilisation of world-class multi-wavelength space facilities.

该项目将对其他恒星周围新诞生的小行星的大气层进行首次深入研究，从而更好地了解行星在其生命早期如何演变。地球的大气层是它最显著的特征。该项目的主要成果包括揭示驱动早期行星大气侵蚀的机制，从而更好地了解塑造所有行星的过程，包括我们太阳系中的行星。该项目利用澳大利亚和国际在系外行星、恒星和太阳系天体物理学方面的专业知识，在为澳大利亚利用世界级多波长空间设施开发技术方面取得了关键成果。
