Diversity of low-mass planet atmospheres in the C-H-O-N-S-Cl system with interior dissolution, nonideality, and condensation: Application to TRAPPIST-1e and sub-Neptunes

Dan J. Bower, Maggie A. Thompson, Kaustubh Hakim +2

A quantitative understanding of the nature and composition of low-mass rocky (exo)planet atmospheres during their evolution is needed to interpret observations. The magma ocean sta…

Geodynamics of super-Earth GJ 486b

Tobias G. Meier, Dan J. Bower, Tim Lichtenberg +8

Many super-Earths are on very short orbits around their host star and, therefore, more likely to be tidally locked. Because this locking can lead to a strong contrast between the d…

Distinguishing oceans of water from magma on mini-Neptune K2-18b

Oliver Shorttle, Sean Jordan, Harrison Nicholls +2

Mildly irradiated mini-Neptunes have densities potentially consistent with them hosting substantial liquid water oceans (`Hycean' planets). The presence of CO2 and simultaneous abs…

Interior dynamics of super-Earth 55 Cancri e

Tobias G. Meier, Dan J. Bower, Tim Lichtenberg +2

The ultra-short-period super-Earth 55 Cancri e has a measured radius of 1.8 Earth radii. Previous thermal phase curve observations suggest a strong temperature contrast between the…

Investigating the visible phase-curve variability of 55 Cnc e

E. A. Meier Valdés, B. M. Morris, B. -O. Demory +87

55 Cnc e is an ultra-short period super-Earth transiting a Sun-like star. Previous observations in the optical range detected a time-variable flux modulation that is phased with th…

Diverse Carbonates in Exoplanet Oceans Promote the Carbon Cycle

Kaustubh Hakim, Meng Tian, Dan J. Bower +1

Carbonate precipitation in oceans is essential for the carbonate-silicate cycle (inorganic carbon cycle) to maintain temperate climates. By considering the thermodynamics of carbon…
