• Atmospheric escape results in mass loss, and depends on environments and params.
• Atmospheric escape may shape the radius valley.
• Atmospheric escape is not just all or nothing, thus potentially changing relative abundances.
• Atmospheric escape may also be important for rocky exoplanets

A good tracer for atmospheric escape is the H-alpha line. In recent years, the He I line has also been joining this good tracer family. And oh my boy, there are now plenty of planets. #exoplanets5
