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…
Earth shaped by primordial H atmospheres
Edward D. Young, Anat Shahar, Hilke E. Schlichting
Earth's water, intrinsic oxidation state, and metal core density are fundamental chemical features of our planet. Studies of exoplanets provide a useful context for elucidating the…
Near-equilibrium isotope fractionation during planetesimal evaporation
E. D. Young, A. Shahar, F. Nimmo +4
Silicon and Mg in differentiated rocky bodies exhibit heavy isotope enrichments that have been attributed to evaporation of partially or entirely molten planetesimals. We evaluate…
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…
