Hydrogen and Helium Dissolution, Outgassing, and Loss in Evolving Sub-Neptune Magma Oceans: Examining Demographic Features and Radius Evolution

Yao Tang, Jonathan J. Fortney, Laura K. Schaefer +1

Sub-Neptunes' molten interiors are expected to accommodate large quantities of volatiles, potentially altering their radius evolution. Previous studies have examined this effect in…

Horizontal transport as a source of disequilibrium chemistry on the nightside of a hot exoplanet

Vivien Parmentier, Kevin B. Stevenson, Luis Welbanks +15

Hot Jupiters have temperature gradients of several hundreds of degrees between their permanent day and nightsides. In equilibrium, the primary carbon reservoir is expected to trans…

Sub-Neptune Memories I: Implications of Inefficient Mantle Cooling and Silicate Rain

Roberto Tejada Arevalo, Akash Gupta, Adam Burrows +3

We explore the evolution of sub-Neptune (radii between 1.5 and 4 R) exoplanet interior structures using our upgraded evolution code, \texttt{APPLE}, which self-consi…

Understanding the Origins of Super-Puff Planets: A New Mass-Loss Regime Coupled to Planetary Evolution

Yao Tang, Jonathan J. Fortney, Ruth Murray-Clay +1

Super-puffs are a class of low-mass, large-radius planets that have challenged planet formation and evolution models. Their high inferred H/He mass fractions, required to explain t…

Reassessing Sub-Neptune Structure, Radii, and Thermal Evolution

Yao Tang, Jonathan J. Fortney, Francis Nimmo +3

We present a novel python-based 1D sub-Neptune evolution model that emphasizes the thermal evolution and potential solidification of the rock/iron core and the structure of the rad…

Assessing Core-Powered Mass Loss in the Context of Early Boil-Off: Minimal Long-Lived Mass Loss for the Sub-Neptune Population

Yao Tang, Jonathan J. Fortney, Ruth Murray-Clay

We develop a python-based state-of-the-art sub-Neptune evolution model that incorporates both the post-formation boil-off at young ages 1 Myr and long-lived core-powered mas…
