Sensitivity of Dry Lava Planet Atmospheric Emission Spectra to Changes in Lava Compositions
Christiaan P. A. van Buchem, Rojita Buddhacharya, Mantas Zilinskas +3
The atmospheres of hot rocky exoplanets are among the first primary targets of the JWST. Interpreting their atmospheric spectra requires understanding the link between silicate lav…
LavAtmos 2.0: Incorporating Volatiles Species in Vaporization Models
Christiaan P. A. van Buchem, Mantas Zilinskas, Yamila Miguel +1
Due to strong irradiation, hot rocky exoplanets are able to sustain lava oceans. Direct interaction between these oceans and overlying atmospheres can provide insight into planetar…
Hot and cloudy: High temperature clouds in super-Earths and sub-Neptunes
Leoni J. Janssen, Yamila Miguel, Michiel Min +3
JWST observations provide for the first time evidence for an atmosphere on a rocky exoplanet - 55 Cnc e. The atmosphere of 55 Cnc e is hot with K and sho…
Characterising the Atmosphere of 55 Cancri e: 1D Forward Model Grid for Current and Future JWST Observations
Mantas Zilinskas, Christiaan van Buchem, Sebastian Zieba +9
Recent JWST observations with NIRCam and MIRI of the ultra-short-period super-Earth 55 Cancri e indicate a possible volatile atmosphere surrounding the planet. Previous analysis of…
