Toward Reliable Interpretations of Small Exoplanet Compositions: Comparisons and Considerations of Equations of State and Materials Used in Common Rocky Planet Models
Joseph Schulze, Natalie Hinkel, Wendy Panero +1
The bulk compositions of small planets () are directly linked to their formation histories, making reliable compositional constraints imperative for testi…
A Gap in the Densities of Small Planets Orbiting M Dwarfs: Rigorous Statistical Confirmation Using the Open-source Code RhoPop
J. G. Schulze, Ji Wang, J. A. Johnson +4
Using mass-radius-composition models, small planets () are typically classified into three types: iron-rich, nominally Earth-like, and those…
Fizzy Super-Earths: Impacts of Magma Composition on the Bulk Density and Structure of Lava Worlds
Kiersten M. Boley, Wendy R. Panero, Cayman T. Unterborn +3
Lava worlds are a potential emerging population of Super-Earths that are on close-in orbits around their host stars with likely partially molten mantles. To date, few studies addre…
A Comparison of the Composition of Planets in Single- and Multi-Planet Systems Orbiting M dwarfs
Romy Rodríguez Martínez, David V. Martin, B. Scott Gaudi +4
We investigate and compare the composition of M-dwarf planets in systems with only one known planet (``singles") to those residing in multi-planet systems (``multis") and the funda…
The Nominal Range of Rocky Planet Masses, Radii, Surface Gravities and Bulk Densities
Cayman T. Unterborn, Steven J. Desch, Jonas Haldemann +4
The two primary observable quantities of an exoplanet--its mass and radius--alone are not sufficient to probe a rocky exoplanet's interior composition and mineralogy. To overcome t…
A Reanalysis of the Composition of K2-106b: an Ultra-short Period Super-Mercury Candidate
Romy Rodríguez Martínez, B. Scott Gaudi, Joseph G. Schulze +9
We present a reanalysis of the K2-106 transiting planetary system, with a focus on the composition of K2-106b, an ultra-short period, super-Mercury candidate. We globally model exi…
Detecting Biosignatures in the Atmospheres of Gas Dwarf Planets with the James Webb Space Telescope
Caprice Phillips, Ji Wang, Sarah Kendrew +5
Exoplanets with radii between those of Earth and Neptune have stronger surface gravity than Earth, and can retain a sizable hydrogen-dominated atmosphere. In contrast to gas giant…
Analytic Estimates of the Achievable Precision on the Physical Properties of Transiting Planets Using Purely Empirical Measurements
Romy Rodriguez Martinez, Daniel J. Stevens, B. Scott Gaudi +4
We present analytic estimates of the fractional uncertainties on the mass, radius, surface gravity, and density of a transiting planet, using only empirical or semi-empirical measu…
On the Probability that a Rocky Planet's Composition Reflects its Host Star
J. G. Schulze, Ji Wang, J. A. Johnson +3
The bulk density of a planet, as measured by mass and radius, is a result of planet structure and composition. Relative proportions of iron core, rocky mantle, and gaseous envelope…
