Superabundance of Exoplanet Sub-Neptunes Explained by Fugacity Crisis
Edwin S. Kite, Bruce Fegley, Laura Schaefer +1
Transiting planets with radii 2-3 $R_\bigoplus$ are much more numerous than larger planets. We propose that this drop-off is so abrupt because at 3 $R_\bigoplus$, base-o…
Hydrogen isotopic evidence for early oxidation of silicate Earth
Kaveh Pahlevan, Laura Schaefer, Marc M. Hirschmann
The Moon-forming giant impact extensively melts and partially vaporizes the silicate Earth and delivers a substantial mass of metal to Earth's core. Subsequent evolution of the mag…
Absence of a thick atmosphere on the terrestrial exoplanet LHS 3844b
Laura Kreidberg, Daniel D. B. Koll, Caroline Morley +16
Most known terrestrial planets orbit small stars with radii less than 60% that of the Sun. Theoretical models predict that these planets are more vulnerable to atmospheric loss tha…
Habitable zone predictions and how to test them
Ramses M. Ramirez, Dorian S. Abbot, Yuka Fujii +11
The habitable zone (HZ) is the region around a star(s) where standing bodies of water could exist on the surface of a rocky planet. The classical HZ definition makes a number of as…
