Super-Earth Interiors Shrink by About 10% as They Crystallise
Tim Lichtenberg, Mara Attia, Harrison Nicholls +26
Super-Earth exoplanets are among the most abundant planets known, yet their bulk densities leave the interior state degenerate. The static structure models used to interpret them,…
No statistically significant evidence for a correlation between stellar and planetary composition
Daisy A. Turner, Annelies Mortier, James G. Rogers +4
The chemical compositions of planets and their hosts stars are intrinsically linked, having formed from the same protostellar material. Characterising this relationship provides ke…
Planetesimal Formation Across the Stellar Mass Spectrum and its Influence on Exoplanet-Inherited Volatile Budgets
Joe Williams, Sebastiaan Krijt, Joanna Drążkowska +1
Protoplanetary discs emerging from collapsing molecular clouds are capable of forming planetesimals at the water snowline during both the cloud collapse and Class II disc phases; s…
Onset of habitable conditions on the Hadean Earth set by feedback between tides and greenhouse forcing
Marijn R. van Dijk, Harrison Nicholls, Tim Lichtenberg
In the aftermath of the Moon-forming giant impact, the Hadean Earth's mantle and surface crystallized from a global magma ocean blanketed by a dense volatile-rich atmosphere. While…
Constraining exoplanet interiors using observations of their atmospheres
Tim Lichtenberg, Oliver Shorttle, Johanna Teske +1
Astronomical surveys have identified numerous exoplanets with bulk compositions that are unlike the planets of the Solar System, including rocky super-Earths and gas-enveloped sub-…
Magma ocean interactions can explain JWST observations of the sub-Neptune TOI-270 d
Matthew C. Nixon, R. Sander Somers, Arjun B. Savel +9
Sub-Neptunes with substantial atmospheres may possess magma oceans in contact with the overlying gas, with chemical interactions between the atmosphere and magma playing an importa…
