Retention of water in terrestrial magma oceans and carbon-rich early atmospheres
Dan J. Bower, Kaustubh Hakim, Paolo A. Sossi +1
Massive steam and CO atmospheres have been proposed for magma ocean outgassing of Earth and terrestrial planets. Yet formation of such atmospheres depends on volatile exchange…
Vertically resolved magma ocean-protoatmosphere evolution: H, HO, CO, CH, CO, O, and N as primary absorbers
Tim Lichtenberg, Dan J. Bower, Mark Hammond +4
The earliest atmospheres of rocky planets originate from extensive volatile release during magma ocean epochs that occur during assembly of the planet. These establish the initial…
Linking the evolution of terrestrial interiors and an early outgassed atmosphere to astrophysical observations
Dan J. Bower, Daniel Kitzmann, Aaron S. Wolf +3
A terrestrial planet is molten during formation and may remain so if subject to intense insolation or tidal forces. Observations continue to favour the detection and characterisati…
Numerical solution of a non-linear conservation law applicable to the interior dynamics of partially molten planets
Dan J. Bower, Patrick Sanan, Aaron S. Wolf
The energy balance of a partially molten rocky planet can be expressed as a non-linear diffusion equation using mixing length theory to quantify heat transport by both convection a…
