VapoRock: Thermodynamics of vaporized silicate melts for modeling volcanic outgassing and magma ocean atmospheres
Aaron S. Wolf, Noah Jäggi, Paolo A. Sossi +1
Silicate vapors play a key role in planetary evolution, especially dominating early stages of rocky planet formation through outgassed magma ocean atmospheres. Our open-source ther…
Evolution of Mercury's Earliest Atmosphere
Noah Jäggi, Diana Gamborino, Dan J. Bower +6
MESSENGER observations suggest a magma ocean formed on proto-Mercury, during which evaporation of metals and outgassing of C- and H-bearing volatiles produced an early atmosphere.…
Linking the evolution of terrestrial interiors and an early outgassed atmosphere to astrophysical observations
Dan J. Bower, Daniel Kitzmann, Aaron S. Wolf +3
A terrestrial planet is molten during formation and may remain so if subject to intense insolation or tidal forces. Observations continue to favour the detection and characterisati…
Numerical solution of a non-linear conservation law applicable to the interior dynamics of partially molten planets
Dan J. Bower, Patrick Sanan, Aaron S. Wolf
The energy balance of a partially molten rocky planet can be expressed as a non-linear diffusion equation using mixing length theory to quantify heat transport by both convection a…
A Systematic Retrieval Analysis of Secondary Eclipse Spectra II: A Uniform Analysis of Eight Planets and Their C to O Ratios
Michael R Line, Heather Knutson, Aaron Wolf +1
Secondary eclipse spectroscopy provides invaluable insights into the temperatures and compositions of exoplanetary atmospheres. We carry out a systematic temperature and abundance…
A Systematic Retrieval Analysis of Secondary Eclipse Spectra I: A Comparison of Atmospheric Retrieval Techniques
Michael R. Line, Aaron Wolf, Xi Zhang +6
Spectra of exoplanet atmospheres provide us the opportunity to improve our understanding of these objects just as remote sensing in our own solar system has increased our understan…
