Rocky planet or water world? Observability of low-density lava world atmospheres

Anjali A. A. Piette, Peter Gao, Kara Brugman +4

Super-Earths span a wide range of bulk densities, indicating a diversity in interior conditions beyond that seen in the solar system. In particular, an emerging population of low-d…

Highly Volcanic Exoplanets, Lava Worlds, and Magma Ocean Worlds: An Emerging Class of Dynamic Exoplanets of Significant Scientific Priority

Wade G. Henning, Joseph P. Renaud, Prabal Saxena +39

Highly volcanic exoplanets, which can be variously characterized as 'lava worlds', 'magma ocean worlds', or 'super-Ios' are high priority targets for investigation. The term 'lava…

Exoplanet Science Priorities from the Perspective of Internal and Surface Processes for Silicate and Ice Dominated Worlds

Wade G. Henning, Joseph P. Renaud, Avi M. Mandell +35

The geophysics of extrasolar planets is a scientific topic often regarded as standing largely beyond the reach of near-term observations. This reality in no way diminishes the cent…

Magnetic Fields of Extrasolar Planets: Planetary Interiors and Habitability

J. Lazio, G. Hallinan, V. Airapetian +13

Jupiter's radio emission has been linked to its planetary-scale magnetic field, and spacecraft investigations have revealed that most planets, and some moons, have or had a global…

Geoscience and the Search for Life Beyond the Solar System

Rory Barnes, Anat Shahar, Cayman Unterborn +11

How can scientists conclude with high confidence that an exoplanet hosts life? As telescopes come on line over the next 20 years that can directly observe photons from terrestrial…
