Volatile-bearing mineral atmospheres of hot rocky exoplanets as probes of interior state and composition

Fabian L. Seidler, Paolo A. Sossi, Dan J. Bower +1

The atmospheres of hot rocky exoplanets (HREs), should they persist, are products of interactions with underlying magma oceans. Spectra collected by the James Webb Space Telescope…

Geophysical and atmospheric implications of O-dependent melting on rocky exoplanets

Mariana Sastre, Tim Lichtenberg, Laurent Soucasse +3

The geochemical evolution of long-lived magma oceans is strongly regulated by volatile exchange between the molten mantle and the atmosphere. For planets inside the runaway-greenho…

Silane-Methane Competition in Sub-Neptune Atmospheres as a Diagnostic of Metallicity and Magma Oceans

Kaustubh Hakim, Dan J. Bower, Fabian L. Seidler +1

The James Webb Space Telescope is characterising the atmospheres of sub-Neptunes. The presence of magma oceans on sub-Neptunes is expected to strongly alter the chemistry of their…

Water solubility in silicate melts: The effects of melt composition under reducing conditions and implications for nebular ingassing on rocky planets

Maggie A. Thompson, Paolo A. Sossi, Dan J. Bower +3

Rocky planet atmospheres form and evolve through interactions between the planet's surface and interior. If a growing rocky planet acquires enough mass prior to the dissipation of…

An Oxidation Gradient Straddling the Small Planet Radius Valley

Collin Cherubim, Robin Wordsworth, Dan Bower +3

We present a population-level view of volatile gas species (H, He, HO, O, CO, CO, CH) distribution during the sub-Neptune to rocky planet transition, revealing…

Magma ocean evolution at arbitrary redox state

Harrison Nicholls, Tim Lichtenberg, Dan J. Bower +1

Interactions between magma oceans and overlying atmospheres on young rocky planets leads to an evolving feedback of outgassing, greenhouse forcing, and mantle melt fraction. Previo…
