A dry Venusian interior constrained by atmospheric chemistry
Tereza Constantinou, Oliver Shorttle, Paul B. Rimmer
Venus's climatic history provides powerful constraint on the location of the inner-edge of the liquid-water habitable zone. However, two very different histories of water on Venus…
Host-star and exoplanet composition: Polluted white dwarf reveals depletion of moderately refractory elements in planetary material
Claudia Aguilera-Gómez, Laura K. Rogers, Amy Bonsor +6
Planets form from the same cloud of molecular gas and dust as their host stars. Confirming if planetary bodies acquire the same refractory element composition as their natal disc d…
Impact sculpting of the early martian atmosphere
Oliver Shorttle, Homa Saeidfirozeh, Paul Rimmer +4
Intense bombardment of solar system planets in the immediate aftermath of protoplanetary disk dissipation has played a key role in their atmospheric evolution. During this epoch, e…
White dwarf constraints on geological processes at the population level
Andrew M. Buchan, Amy Bonsor, Laura K. Rogers +3
White dwarf atmospheres are frequently polluted by material from their own planetary systems. Absorption features from Ca, Mg, Fe and other elements can provide unique insights int…
From stars to diverse mantles, melts, crusts and atmospheres of rocky exoplanets
Claire Marie Guimond, Haiyang Wang, Fabian Seidler +3
This review is focused on describing the logic by which we make predictions of exoplanetary compositions and mineralogies, and how these processes could lead to compositional diver…
A Surface Hydrothermal Source of Nitriles and Isonitriles
Paul B. Rimmer, Oliver Shorttle
Giant impacts can generate transient hydrogen-rich atmospheres, reducing atmospheric carbon. The reduced carbon will form hazes that rain out onto the surface and can become incorp…
Distinguishing oceans of water from magma on mini-Neptune K2-18b
Oliver Shorttle, Sean Jordan, Harrison Nicholls +2
Mildly irradiated mini-Neptunes have densities potentially consistent with them hosting substantial liquid water oceans (`Hycean' planets). The presence of CO2 and simultaneous abs…
Cosmic dust fertilization of glacial prebiotic chemistry on early Earth
Craig R. Walton, Jessica K. Rigley, Alexander Lipp +5
Earth's surface is deficient in available forms of many elements considered limiting for prebiotic chemistry. In contrast, many extraterrestrial rocky objects are rich in these sam…
