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.…
The continued importance of habitability studies
Ramses M. Ramirez, Dorian S. Abbot, Vladimir Airapetian +7
This is a white paper in response to the National Academy of Sciences "Exoplanet Science Strategy" call. We summarize recent advances in theoretical habitability studies and argue…
