Hot and cloudy: High temperature clouds in super-Earths and sub-Neptunes

Leoni J. Janssen, Yamila Miguel, Michiel Min +3

JWST observations provide for the first time evidence for an atmosphere on a rocky exoplanet - 55 Cnc e. The atmosphere of 55 Cnc e is hot with K and sho…

LavAtmos 2.0: Incorporating Volatiles Species in Vaporization Models

Christiaan P. A. van Buchem, Mantas Zilinskas, Yamila Miguel +1

Due to strong irradiation, hot rocky exoplanets are able to sustain lava oceans. Direct interaction between these oceans and overlying atmospheres can provide insight into planetar…

Energetic proton losses reveal Io's extended and longitudinally asymmetrical atmosphere

H. L. F. Huybrighs, C. P. A. van Buchem, A. Blöcker +3

Along the I24, I27 and I31 flybys of Io (1999-2001), the Energetic Particle Detector (EPD) onboard the Galileo spacecraft observed localised regions of energetic protons losses (15…

A Non-Detection of Iron in the First High-Resolution Emission Study of the Lava Planet 55 Cnc e

Kaitlin C. Rasmussen, Miles H. Currie, Celeste Hagee +17

Close-in lava planets represent an extreme example of terrestrial worlds, but their high temperatures may allow us to probe a diversity of crustal compositions. The brightest and m…

Observability of silicates in volatile atmospheres of super-Earths and sub-Neptunes

Mantas Zilinskas, Yamila Miguel, Chritstiaan P. A. van Buchem +1

Many of the confirmed short period super-Earths and smaller sub-Neptunes are sufficiently irradiated for the surface silicates to be sustained in a long-lasting molten state. While…

LavAtmos: An open source chemical equilibrium vaporisation code for lava worlds

Christiaan P. A. Van Buchem, Yamila Miguel, Mantas Zilinskas +1

To date, over 500 short-period rocky planets with equilibrium temperatures above 1500 K have been discovered. Such planets are expected to support magma oceans, providing a direct…
