Coupled atmospHere Interior modeL Intercomparison (CHILI). I. Evolutionary Modelling -- Primordial Magma Oceans of Earth and Venus
Harrison Nicholls, Joshua Krissansen-Totton, Tim Lichtenberg +22
Earth and Venus represent two evolutionary outcomes arising from initially molten 'magma ocean' periods, followed by lifetimes of chemical and geophysical divergence. Their physics…
Strong and variable stratospheric CO emission from lava-planet 55 Cnc e observed with NIRCam/JWST
Ignas Snellen, Yamila Miguel, Leoni Janssen +4
Some rocky planets orbit so close to their host stars that stellar heating melts their surfaces. They offer a rare glimpse of planets in a magma-ocean state, providing an observabl…
Coupled atmospHere Interior modeL Intercomparison (CHILI) Protocol Version 1.0: A CUISINES Intercomparison Project of Magma Ocean Models
Tim Lichtenberg, Laura Schaefer, Joshua Krissansen-Totton +23
Spectroscopic characterization of rocky exoplanets with the James Webb Space Telescope has brought the origin and evolution of their atmospheres into the focus of exoplanet science…
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…
Characterising the Atmosphere of 55 Cancri e: 1D Forward Model Grid for Current and Future JWST Observations
Mantas Zilinskas, Christiaan van Buchem, Sebastian Zieba +9
Recent JWST observations with NIRCam and MIRI of the ultra-short-period super-Earth 55 Cancri e indicate a possible volatile atmosphere surrounding the planet. Previous analysis of…
