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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
