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 ($R_p<2{\mathrm{R}}_{\oplus }$) are directly linked to their formation histories, making reliable compositional constraints imperative for testi…
