• A FRAMEWORK FOR CHARACTERIZING THE ATMOSPHERES OF LOW-MASS LOW-DENSITY TRANSITING PLANETS (2013, background): “Most prominent are the observations that hot Jupiters lose atmospheric mass (Vidal-Madjar et al. 2003; Linsky et al. 2010; Lecavelier Des Etangs et al. 2010; Lecavelier des Etangs et al. 2012), as has been observed in the UV with the HST.”
• The coronal X-ray - age relation and its implications for the evaporation of exoplanets (2011, background): “One possible mechanism for producing such correlations is the evaporation of close orbiting planets, such as that observed for HD209458b (also known as Osiris, e.g. Vidal-Madjar et al. 2008) by Vidal-Madjar et al.

• Estimation of the XUV radiation onto close planets and their evaporation (2011, positive): “The upper limit of the hydrogen mass loss rate we calculate for HD 209458b (1× 1010 g s−1) is consistent with the values of∼ 1010 g s−1 (Vidal-Madjar et al., 2003) interpreted by 0.1 1.0 10.0 Age (Gyr) 0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 1.2 P la ne t m as s (M J) ρ = 1.88 ρ = 0.34 ρ = 0.94 GJ 436 b HD 189733…”
• Two Classes of Hot Jupiters (2007, background): “Evaporation The detection of excess Ly absorption during primary transit of HD 209458b (Vidal-Madjar et al. 2003) indicates that hot Jupiter planets indeed lose some level of mass.”
• SEARCH FOR CARBON MONOXIDE IN THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE TRANSITING EXOPLANET HD 189733b (2009, methodology): “…this method allowed for the first detection of an extrasolar planetary atmosphere (Charbonneau et al. 2002), and of the discoveries of an escaping exosphere (Vidal-Madjar et al. 2003, 2004, 2008; Ehrenreich et al. 2008), and a hot hydrogen layer in the middle atmosphere (Ballester et al. 2007).”
• Evaporation of the planet HD 189733b observed in H I Lyman-α (2010, background): “Lyman-α observations of the planetary transit showed excess absorption due to an extended H i cloud and provided a lower limit of the H i escape rate on the order of 1010 g s−1 (Vidal-Madjar et al. 2003; Vidal-Madjar & Lecavelier des Etangs 2004).”
