An Equation of State of CO for use in Planetary Modeling

Morris Podolak, Amit Levi, Allona Vazan +1

Although carbon monoxide (CO) is an abundant molecule and may have great importance for planetary interiors, measurements of its properties are difficult due to its extreme volatil…

New Perspectives on the Exoplanet Radius Gap from a Mathematica Tool and Visualized Water Equation of State

Li Zeng, Stein B. Jacobsen, Eugenia Hyung +12

Recent astronomical observations obtained with the Kepler and TESS missions and their related ground-based follow-ups revealed an abundance of exoplanets with a size intermediate b…

Growth Model Interpretation of Planet Size Distribution

Li Zeng, Stein B. Jacobsen, Dimitar D. Sasselov +13

The radii and orbital periods of 4000+ confirmed/candidate exoplanets have been precisely measured by the Kepler mission. The radii show a bimodal distribution, with two peaks corr…

Habitable zone predictions and how to test them

Ramses M. Ramirez, Dorian S. Abbot, Yuka Fujii +11

The habitable zone (HZ) is the region around a star(s) where standing bodies of water could exist on the surface of a rocky planet. The classical HZ definition makes a number of as…

A New Desalination Pump Help Define the pH of Ocean Worlds

Amit Levi, Dimitar Sasselov

We study ocean exoplanets, for which the global surface ocean is separated from the rocky interior by a high-pressure ice mantle. We describe a mechanism that can pump salts out of…

The Ice Cap Zone: A Unique Habitable Zone for Ocean Worlds

Ramses M. Ramirez, Amit Levi

Traditional definitions of the habitable zone assume that habitable planets contain a carbonate-silicate cycle that regulates CO2 between the atmosphere, surface, and the interior.…
