Investigating potential causes for high inferred intrinsic temperatures of warm transiting Neptune and Sub-Neptune planets

Saugata Barat, Jean-Michel Désert, Allona Vazan +7

Atmospheric characterization of a warm 10-30 Myr old sub-Neptune progenitor (V1298 Tau b) and a 3.4 Gyr old warm super-Neptune (WASP-107b) using JWST have revealed extremely…

Stellar Flares Rather than High As Possible Cause for the Missing Methane in Young Exoplanets: The Case Study of V1298~Tau\,b

Danica Adams, Pierre-Alexis Roy, Hilke Schlichting +1

Recent observations of V1298~Tau\,b, a warm sub-Neptune (R, M, TK) orbiting a young (10-30\,Myr) K star, sho…

Testing the prevalence of hydrogen-silicate miscibility in young sub-Neptunes

James G. Rogers, Hilke E. Schlichting

Hydrogen-silicate miscibility can significantly alter the interior structure and thermal evolution of sub-Neptunes. We consider the interplay between this miscibility and stellar-d…

A New Global Chemical Equilibrium Code: Refractory Element Signatures in Super-Earths and Sub-Neptunes

Simon Grimm, Marie-Luise Steinmeyer, Aaron Werlen +3

The atmospheres of super-Earths and sub-Neptunes can be strongly modified by chemical exchange with their molten interiors during long-lived magma ocean phases. Interpreting atmosp…

Characterizing the bolometric-photoevaporative transition in young sub-Neptunes with radiation-hydrodynamic simulations

William Misener, Matthäus Schulik, Hilke E. Schlichting +1

Hydrodynamic atmospheric escape plays a central role in shaping the demographics of small, close-in exoplanets. Two mechanisms have been proposed to drive mass loss: photoevaporati…

The Effects of Non-ideal Mixing in Planetary Magma Oceans and Atmospheres

Aaron Werlen, Edward D. Young, Hilke E. Schlichting +2

Sub-Neptunes with hydrogen-rich envelopes are expected to sustain long-lived magma oceans that continuously exchange volatiles with their overlying atmospheres. Capturing these int…
