No thick carbon dioxide atmosphere on the rocky exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 c

Sebastian Zieba, Laura Kreidberg, Elsa Ducrot +16

Seven rocky planets orbit the nearby dwarf star TRAPPIST-1, providing a unique opportunity to search for atmospheres on small planets outside the Solar System (Gillon et al., 2017)…

Geophysical Evolution During Rocky Planet Formation

Tim Lichtenberg, Laura K. Schaefer, Miki Nakajima +1

Progressive astronomical characterization of planet-forming disks and rocky exoplanets highlight the need for increasing interdisciplinary efforts to understand the birth and life…

The air over there: exploring exoplanet atmospheres

Laura Schaefer, Vivien Parmentier

Atmospheric compositions for rocky exoplanets will depend strongly on the bulk planetary composition and the orbital position of the planet. Non-traditional gases may be present in…

Composition of Terrestrial Exoplanet Atmospheres from Meteorite Outgassing Experiments

Maggie A. Thompson, Myriam Telus, Laura Schaefer +3

Terrestrial exoplanets likely form initial atmospheres through outgassing during and after accretion, although there is currently no first-principles understanding of how to connec…

Water on Hot Rocky Exoplanets

Edwin S. Kite, Laura Schaefer

Data suggest that most rocky exoplanets with orbital period 100 d ("hot" rocky exoplanets) formed as gas-rich sub-Neptunes that subsequently lost most of their envelopes, b…

Atmosphere Origins for Exoplanet Sub-Neptunes

Edwin S. Kite, Bruce Fegley, Laura Schaefer +1

Planets with 2 < < 3 and orbital period 100 d are abundant; these sub-Neptune exoplanets are not well understood. For example, sub-Neptune…
