Convective shutdown in the atmospheres of lava worlds
Harrison Nicholls, Raymond T. Pierrehumbert, Tim Lichtenberg +2
Atmospheric energy transport is central to the cooling of primordial magma oceans. Theoretical studies of atmospheres on lava planets have assumed that convection is the only proce…
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…
Reliable Detections of Atmospheres on Rocky Exoplanets with Photometric JWST Phase Curves
Mark Hammond, Claire Marie Guimond, Tim Lichtenberg +9
The prevalence of atmospheres on rocky planets is one of the major questions in exoplanet astronomy, but there are currently no published unambiguous detections of atmospheres on a…
Distinguishing oceans of water from magma on mini-Neptune K2-18b
Oliver Shorttle, Sean Jordan, Harrison Nicholls +2
Mildly irradiated mini-Neptunes have densities potentially consistent with them hosting substantial liquid water oceans (`Hycean' planets). The presence of CO2 and simultaneous abs…
