Lithologic Controls on Silicate Weathering Regimes of Temperate Planets

Kaustubh Hakim, Dan J. Bower, Meng Tian +6

Weathering of silicate rocks at a planetary surface can draw down CO from the atmosphere for eventual burial and long-term storage in the planetary interior. This process is th…

Thermal evolution of rocky exoplanets with a graphite outer shell

Kaustubh Hakim, Arie van den Berg, Allona Vazan +3

The presence of rocky exoplanets with a large refractory carbon inventory is predicted by chemical evolution models of protoplanetary disks of stars with photospheric C/O >0.65, an…

Capturing the oxidation of silicon carbide in rocky exoplanetary interiors

Kaustubh Hakim, Wim van Westrenen, Carsten Dominik

Theoretical models predict the condensation of silicon carbide around host stars with C/O ratios higher than 0.65 (cf. C/O = 0.54), in addition to its observations…

Mineralogy, structure and habitability of carbon-enriched rocky exoplanets: A laboratory approach

Kaustubh Hakim, Rob Spaargaren, Damanveer S. Grewal +4

Carbon-enriched rocky exoplanets have been proposed around dwarf stars as well as around binary stars, white dwarfs and pulsars. However, the mineralogical make up of such planets…

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 ) and mass (< 10 ). Here we model mass-radius relations bas…
