SCoRE: the Surface Composition of Rocky Exoplanets
Leon Sereinig, Oliver Herbort
Context. The crust composition of rocky exoplanets with a substantial atmosphere can not be observed directly. However, recent developments are starting to allow for the observatio…
Proto-planetary disk composition-dependent element volatility in the context of rocky planet formation
Rob J. Spaargaren, Oliver Herbort, Haiyang S. Wang +2
The compositions of the Solar System terrestrial bodies are fractionated from that of the Sun, where elemental depletions in the bulk rocky bodies correlate with element volatility…
The atmospheres of rocky exoplanets III. Using atmospheric spectra to constrain surface rock composition
Oliver Herbort, Leon Sereinig
Context. The crust composition of rocky exoplanets with a substantial atmosphere can not be observed directly. However, recent developments start to allow the observation and chara…
Habitable Zone and Atmosphere Retention Distance (HaZARD) Stellar-evolution-dependent loss models of secondary atmospheres
Gwenaël Van Looveren, Sudeshna Boro Saikia, Oliver Herbort +4
A major open question in exoplanet research is whether secondary atmospheres are rare around Earth-sized rocky exoplanets. In this work we determine the distance at which an Earth-…
Reliable Detections of Atmospheres on Rocky Exoplanets with Photometric JWST Phase Curves
Mark Hammond, Claire Marie Guimond, Tim Lichtenberg +9
The prevalence of atmospheres on rocky planets is one of the major questions in exoplanet astronomy, but there are currently no published unambiguous detections of atmospheres on a…
