Super-Earth Interiors Shrink by About 10% as They Crystallise

Tim Lichtenberg, Mara Attia, Harrison Nicholls +26

Super-Earth exoplanets are among the most abundant planets known, yet their bulk densities leave the interior state degenerate. The static structure models used to interpret them,…

Evolutionary pathways toward survival of a thick CO2- or SO2-rich atmosphere on the lava world TOI-561 b

Emma Postolec, Tim Lichtenberg, Johanna K. Teske +10

Rocky planets evolve through the exchange of volatiles between their interiors and atmospheres, an interplay still poorly constrained by observations. Remarkably, highly irradiated…

A Highly Reflective Atmosphere on the Lava World TOI-561b Revealed by JWST/NIRSpec Phase Curve

Samuel Boucher, Lisa Dang, Alex McGinty +15

Ultra-short period (USP) rocky planets are expected to be depleted of any substantial gaseous envelope due to the intense irradiation they receive from their host star, making the…

Atmospheric evolution through outgassing and escape on young molten rocky exoplanets

Emma Postolec, Tim Lichtenberg, Harrison Nicholls +2

The earliest rocky planet atmospheres are shaped by competition between initial volatile inventories and atmospheric escape. On young magma ocean planets, outgassing competes with…

Coupled atmospHere Interior modeL Intercomparison (CHILI). I. Evolutionary Modelling -- Primordial Magma Oceans of Earth and Venus

Harrison Nicholls, Joshua Krissansen-Totton, Tim Lichtenberg +22

Earth and Venus represent two evolutionary outcomes arising from initially molten 'magma ocean' periods, followed by lifetimes of chemical and geophysical divergence. Their physics…

Coupled atmospHere Interior modeL Intercomparison (CHILI) Protocol Version 1.0: A CUISINES Intercomparison Project of Magma Ocean Models

Tim Lichtenberg, Laura Schaefer, Joshua Krissansen-Totton +23

Spectroscopic characterization of rocky exoplanets with the James Webb Space Telescope has brought the origin and evolution of their atmospheres into the focus of exoplanet science…

A Thick Volatile Atmosphere on the Ultrahot Super-Earth TOI-561 b

Johanna K. Teske, Nicole L. Wallack, Anjali A. A. Piette +10

Ultrashort-period (USP) exoplanets -- with R and periods 1 day -- are expected to be stripped of volatile atmospheres by intense host star irradiation…

Volatile-rich evolution of molten super-Earth L 98-59 d

Harrison Nicholls, Tim Lichtenberg, Richard D. Chatterjee +3

Small low-density exoplanets are sculpted by strong stellar irradiation, but their primordial compositions and subsequent evolution are still unknown. Two often-considered scenario…
