Mantle Convection and Nightside Volcanism on Lava World K2-141 b
Tobias G. Meier, Claire Marie Guimond, Raymond T. Pierrehumbert +13
Ultra-short period lava worlds offer a unique window into the coupled evolution of planetary interior and atmospheres under extreme irradiation. In this study, we investigate the m…
Mantle Differentiation, Mixing and Interior-Exterior Exchange
Takashi Nakagawa, Charitra Jain, Diogo L. Lourenco +2
We review the formation of large-scale heterogeneity in the solid Earth from the magma ocean phase to the present day, focusing on lower-mantle structure and evolution, as well as…
Geodynamics of super-Earth GJ 486b
Tobias G. Meier, Dan J. Bower, Tim Lichtenberg +8
Many super-Earths are on very short orbits around their host star and, therefore, more likely to be tidally locked. Because this locking can lead to a strong contrast between the d…
Interior dynamics of super-Earth 55 Cancri e
Tobias G. Meier, Dan J. Bower, Tim Lichtenberg +2
The ultra-short-period super-Earth 55 Cancri e has a measured radius of 1.8 Earth radii. Previous thermal phase curve observations suggest a strong temperature contrast between the…
The Tectonics and Volcanism of Venus: New Modes Facilitated by Realistic Crustal Rheology and Intrusive Magmatism
Jiacheng Tian, Paul J. Tackley, Diogo L. Lourenço
To explain Venus' young surface age and lack of plate tectonics, Venus' tectonic regime has often been proposed to be either an episodic-lid regime with global lithospheric overtur…
Plausible constraints on the range of bulk terrestrial exoplanet compositions in the Solar neighbourhood
Rob J. Spaargaren, Haiyang S. Wang, Stephen J Mojzsis +2
Rocky planet compositions regulate planetary evolution by affecting core sizes, mantle properties, and melting behaviours. Yet, quantitative treatments of this aspect of exoplanet…
