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…
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…
A High Internal Heat Flux and Large Core in a Warm Neptune Exoplanet
Luis Welbanks, Taylor J. Bell, Thomas G. Beatty +16
Interactions between exoplanetary atmospheres and internal properties have long been hypothesized to be drivers of the inflation mechanisms of gaseous planets and apparent atmosphe…
