Evolution and Observable Properties of Rocky Planet Atmospheres
Marie-Luise Steinmeyer, Lena Noack, Philipp Baumeister +9
The atmospheric composition of rocky exoplanets offers an important tool for constraining the properties of the interior of this type of planet, beyond what is possible from measur…
Coupled atmospHere Interior modeL Intercomparison (CHILI). I. Evolutionary Modelling -- Primordial Magma Oceans of Earth and Venus
Harrison Nicholls, Joshua Krissansen-Totton, Tim Lichtenberg +22
Earth and Venus represent two evolutionary outcomes arising from initially molten 'magma ocean' periods, followed by lifetimes of chemical and geophysical divergence. Their physics…
Coupled atmospHere Interior modeL Intercomparison (CHILI) Protocol Version 1.0: A CUISINES Intercomparison Project of Magma Ocean Models
Tim Lichtenberg, Laura Schaefer, Joshua Krissansen-Totton +23
Spectroscopic characterization of rocky exoplanets with the James Webb Space Telescope has brought the origin and evolution of their atmospheres into the focus of exoplanet science…
The evolutionary divergence of Mars, Venus and Earth
Keiko Hamano, Cedric Gillmann, Gregor J. Golabek +2
Mars, Venus and Earth are expected to have started in a hot molten state. Here, we discuss how these three terrestrial planets diverged in their evolution and what mechanisms could…
Habitable zone predictions and how to test them
Ramses M. Ramirez, Dorian S. Abbot, Yuka Fujii +11
The habitable zone (HZ) is the region around a star(s) where standing bodies of water could exist on the surface of a rocky planet. The classical HZ definition makes a number of as…
Life-Detection Technologies for the Next Two Decades
Chaitanya Giri, Tony Z. Jia, H. James Cleaves +20
Since its inception six decades ago, astrobiology has diversified immensely to encompass several scientific questions including the origin and evolution of Terran life, the organic…
Water Partitioning in Planetary Embryos and Protoplanets with Magma Oceans
Masahiro Ikoma, Linda Elkins-Tanton, Keiko Hamano +1
The water content of magma oceans is widely accepted as a key factor that determines whether a terrestrial planet is habitable. Water ocean mass is determined as a result not only…
Highly Volcanic Exoplanets, Lava Worlds, and Magma Ocean Worlds: An Emerging Class of Dynamic Exoplanets of Significant Scientific Priority
Wade G. Henning, Joseph P. Renaud, Prabal Saxena +39
Highly volcanic exoplanets, which can be variously characterized as 'lava worlds', 'magma ocean worlds', or 'super-Ios' are high priority targets for investigation. The term 'lava…
Exoplanet Science Priorities from the Perspective of Internal and Surface Processes for Silicate and Ice Dominated Worlds
Wade G. Henning, Joseph P. Renaud, Avi M. Mandell +35
The geophysics of extrasolar planets is a scientific topic often regarded as standing largely beyond the reach of near-term observations. This reality in no way diminishes the cent…
The continued importance of habitability studies
Ramses M. Ramirez, Dorian S. Abbot, Vladimir Airapetian +7
This is a white paper in response to the National Academy of Sciences "Exoplanet Science Strategy" call. We summarize recent advances in theoretical habitability studies and argue…
Lifetime and Spectral Evolution of a Magma Ocean with a Steam Atmosphere: Its Detectability by Future Direct Imaging
Keiko Hamano, Hajime Kawahara, Yutaka Abe +2
We present the thermal evolution and emergent spectra of solidifying terrestrial planets along with the formation of steam atmospheres. The lifetime of a magma ocean and its spectr…
