Characterizing the oxidation state of rocky exoplanets with the Large Interferometer for Exoplanets (LIFE)
Lorenzo Cesario, Tim Lichtenberg, Michiel Min +5
The paper evaluates the capability of the proposed LIFE space-based mid-infrared nulling interferometer to detect redox‑sensitive gases in Earth‑sized exoplanet atmospheres and the…

Reflation: redox-driven atmospheric inflation as tracer of super-Earth geochemistry
Lorenzo Cesario, Tim Lichtenberg, Mara Attia +3
The paper proposes that the redox state of a super‑Earth’s mantle can cause a temporary re‑inflation of its atmosphere by shifting outgassed volatiles from carbon‑rich to hydrogen‑…
