A Possible Carbon-rich Interior in Super-Earth 55 Cancri e
Nikku Madhusudhan, Kanani K. M. Lee, Olivier Mousis
Terrestrial planets in the solar system, such as the Earth, are oxygen-rich, with silicates and iron being the most common minerals in their interiors. However, the true chemical d…
Planetesimal Compositions in Exoplanet Systems
Torrence V. Johnson, Olivier Mousis, Jonathan I. Lunine +1
We have used recent surveys of the composition of exoplanet host stars to investigate the expected composition of condensed material in planetesimals formed beyond the snow line in…
Nebular water depletion as the cause of Jupiter's low oxygen abundance
Olivier Mousis, Jonathan I. Lunine, Nikku Madhusudhan +1
Motivated by recent spectroscopic observations suggesting that atmospheres of some extrasolar giant-planets are carbon-rich, i.e. carbon/oxygen ratio (C/O) 1, we find that th…
