Evolution of the reservoirs of volatiles in the protosolar nebula

Antoine Schneeberger, Olivier Mousis, Artyom Aguichine +1

The supersolar abundances of volatiles observed in giant planets suggest that a compositional gradient was present at the time of their formation in the protosolar nebula. To expla…

On the stability of low-mass planets with supercritical hydrospheres

Hugo Vivien, Artyom Aguichine, Olivier Mousis +2

Short-period and low-mass water-rich planets are subject to strong irradiation from their host star, resulting in hydrospheres in supercritical state. In this context, we explore t…
