Carbon from Interstellar Clouds to Habitable Worlds

Edwin A. Bergin, Marc M. Hirschmann, Andre Izidoro

Carbon is an essential element for a habitable world. Inner (r < 3 au) disk planetary carbon compositions are strongly influenced by supply and survival of carbonaceous solids. Her…

Soot Planets instead of Water Worlds

Jie Li, Edwin A. Bergin, Marc M. Hirschmann +3

Some low-density exoplanets are thought to be water-rich worlds that formed beyond the snow line of their protoplanetary disc, possibly accreting coequal portions of rock and water…

Exoplanet Volatile Carbon Content as a Natural Pathway for Haze Formation

E. A. Bergin, E. Kempton, M. Hirschmann +5

We explore terrestrial planet formation with a focus on the supply of solid-state organics as the main source of volatile carbon. For the water-poor Earth, the water ice line, or i…

Early volatile depletion on planetesimals inferred from C-S systematics of iron meteorite parent bodies

Marc M. Hirschmann, Edwin A. Bergin, Geoff A. Blake +2

During the formation of terrestrial planets, volatile loss may occur through nebular processing, planetesimal differentiation, and planetary accretion. We investigate iron meteorit…

Earth's carbon deficit caused by early loss through irreversible sublimation

Jie Li, Edwin A. Bergin, Geoffrey A. Blake +2

Carbon is an essential element for life but its behavior during Earth's accretion is not well understood. Carbonaceous grains in meteoritic and cometary materials suggest that irre…

Experimental determination of ferric iron partitioning between pyroxene and melt at 100KPa

Avishek Rudra, Marc M. Hirschmann

Pyroxene is the principal host of Fe in basalt source regions, hosting 79 and 81% of the Fe in spinel and garnet lherzolite, respectively, with opx and cpx hosting 48…
