The First Hubble Detection of a Secondary Eclipse from a Rocky Exoplanet: the 5.4-hour planet TOI-2431 b

Sebastian Zieba, Billy Edwards, Samuel N. Quinn +18

We present an HST/WFC3 G141 phase-curve observation of the ultra-short-period rocky planet TOI-2431 b and detect its secondary eclipse in the near infrared. Combined with the TESS…

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,…

Thermal Evolution of Lava Planets Across System Ages: Predictions for Hell of a Survey

Mariana Sastre, Tim Lichtenberg, Lisa Dang +22

Ultra-short-period (USP) rocky exoplanets can have dayside temperatures high enough to maintain permanent magma oceans, sitting at the intersection of interior geophysics and atmos…

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…

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…

PALEOS: Multiphase equations of state and mass-radius relations for exoplanet interiors

Mara Attia, Tim Lichtenberg, Ema Jungová +1

Modeling the interior of a rocky or water-rich exoplanet is a thermodynamic closure problem: every layer's density, temperature gradient, and phase must follow from an equation of…

Estimation of the tidal heating in the TRAPPIST-1 planets. Influence of the internal structure

Emeline Bolmont, Mariana Sastre, Alexandre Revol +2

With the arrival of JWST observations of the TRAPPIST-1 planets, it is timely to reassess the contribution of tidal heating to their heat budget. JWST thermal phase curves could re…

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…

Drifts of the sub-stellar points of the TRAPPIST-1 planets

Revol Alexandre, Émeline Bolmont, Mariana Sastre +4

Accurate modeling of tidal interactions is crucial for interpreting recent JWST observations of the thermal emissions of TRAPPIST-1~b and c and for characterizing the surface condi…
