Geodynamics of super-Earth GJ 486b
Tobias G. Meier, Dan J. Bower, Tim Lichtenberg +8
Many super-Earths are on very short orbits around their host star and, therefore, more likely to be tidally locked. Because this locking can lead to a strong contrast between the d…
The effect of a biosphere on the habitable timespan of stagnant-lid planets and implications for the atmospheric spectrum
Dennis Höning, Ludmila Carone, Philipp Baumeister +6
Temperature-dependent biological productivity controls silicate weathering and thereby extends the potential habitable timespan of Earth. Models and theoretical considerations indi…
The PLATO Mission
Heike Rauer, Conny Aerts, Juan Cabrera +842
PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is ESA's M3 mission designed to detect and characterise extrasolar planets and perform asteroseismic monitoring of a large numb…
H-HO demixing in Uranus and Neptune: Adiabatic structure models
Marina Cano Amoros, Nadine Nettelmann, Nicola Tosi +2
Demixing properties of planetary major constituents influence the interior structure and evolution of planets. Comparing experimental and computational data on the miscibility of h…
