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…

Constraining the lives and times of exoplanets through evolutionary Bayesian retrievals

Harrison Nicholls, Tim Lichtenberg, Ben Riegler +2

The paper introduces a Bayesian retrieval framework that models the time‑evolution of exoplanet interiors and atmospheres, allowing constraints on their formation histories and vol…

Sulfur photochemistry observationally traces mantle redox states of rocky planets

Ioannis Panagiotou, Tim Lichtenberg, Shang-Min Tsai +1

The study models how sulfur chemistry in rocky exoplanet atmospheres reflects the redox state of their mantles, showing that photochemical signatures of SO2 are detectable with JWS…

Atmospheric evolution through outgassing and escape on young molten rocky exoplanets

Emma Postolec, Tim Lichtenberg, Harrison Nicholls +2

The paper models how outgassing from a cooling magma ocean and atmospheric escape together shape the early atmospheres of rocky exoplanets, exploring how factors like stellar type,…

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‑…

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…
