A new ab initio equation of state of hcp-Fe and its implication on the interior structure and mass-radius relations of rocky super-Earths

Kaustubh Hakim, Attilio Rivolidini, Tim Van Hoolst +4

More than a third of all exoplanets can be classified as super-Earths based on radius (1-2 $R_{⨁}$) and mass (< 10 $M_{⨁}$). Here we model mass-radius relations bas…
