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…
Direct imaging of molten protoplanets in nearby young stellar associations
Irene Bonati, Tim Lichtenberg, Dan J Bower +2
During their formation and early evolution, rocky planets undergo multiple global melting events due to accretionary collisions with other protoplanets. The detection and character…
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…
