Analytic Estimates of the Achievable Precision on the Physical Properties of Transiting Planets Using Purely Empirical Measurements

Romy Rodriguez Martinez, Daniel J. Stevens, B. Scott Gaudi +4

We present analytic estimates of the fractional uncertainties on the mass, radius, surface gravity, and density of a transiting planet, using only empirical or semi-empirical measu…

On the Probability that a Rocky Planet's Composition Reflects its Host Star

J. G. Schulze, Ji Wang, J. A. Johnson +3

The bulk density of a planet, as measured by mass and radius, is a result of planet structure and composition. Relative proportions of iron core, rocky mantle, and gaseous envelope…

Exogeoscience and Its Role in Characterizing Exoplanet Habitability and the Detectability of Life

Cayman T. Unterborn, Paul K. Byrne, Ariel D. Anbar +24

The search for exoplanetary life must encompass the complex geological processes reflected in an exoplanet's atmosphere, or we risk reporting false positive and false negative dete…

The Pressure and Temperature Limits of Likely Rocky Exoplanets

Cayman T. Unterborn, Wendy R. Panero

The interior composition of exoplanets is not observable, limiting our direct knowledge of their structure, composition, and dynamics. Recently described observational trends sugge…

Stellar Chemical Clues As To The Rarity of Exoplanetary Tectonics

Cayman T. Unterborn, Scott D. Hull, Lars P. Stixrude +3

Earth's tectonic processes regulate the formation of continental crust, control its unique deep water and carbon cycles, and are vital to its surface habitability. A major driver o…

Thorium Abundances in Solar Twins and Analogues: Implications for the Habitability of Extrasolar Planetary Systems

Cayman T. Unterborn, Jennifer A. Johnson, Wendy R. Panero

We present the first investigation of Th abundances in Solar twins and analogues to understand the possible range of this radioactive element and its effect on rocky planet interio…
