Two-dimensional multi-fluid simulations indicate that WASP-12b's atmosphere escapes in a stellar-captured double stream at about 10^12 g/s, making a bow-shock explanation for the observed early ingress implausible.

Modelling atmospheric escape and MgII near-ultraviolet absorption of the highly irradiated hot Jupiter WASP-12b
Two-dimensional multi-fluid simulations indicate that WASP-12b's atmosphere escapes in a stellar-captured double stream at about 10^12 g/s, making a bow-shock explanation for the observed early ingress implausible.
