Solubility of water in peridotite liquids and the prevalence of steam atmospheres on rocky planets
Paolo A. Sossi, Peter M. E. Tollan, James Badro +1
Atmospheres are products of time-integrated mass exchange between the surface of a planet and its interior. On Earth and other planetary bodies, magma oceans likely marked signific…
Hemispheric Tectonics on super-Earth LHS 3844b
Tobias G. Meier, Dan J. Bower, Tim Lichtenberg +2
The tectonic regime of rocky planets fundamentally influences their long-term evolution and cycling of volatiles between interior and atmosphere. Earth is the only known planet wit…
Vertically resolved magma ocean-protoatmosphere evolution: H, HO, CO, CH, CO, O, and N as primary absorbers
Tim Lichtenberg, Dan J. Bower, Mark Hammond +4
The earliest atmospheres of rocky planets originate from extensive volatile release during magma ocean epochs that occur during assembly of the planet. These establish the initial…
Lithologic Controls on Silicate Weathering Regimes of Temperate Planets
Kaustubh Hakim, Dan J. Bower, Meng Tian +6
Weathering of silicate rocks at a planetary surface can draw down CO from the atmosphere for eventual burial and long-term storage in the planetary interior. This process is th…
The influence of bulk composition on long-term interior-atmosphere evolution of terrestrial exoplanets
Rob J. Spaargaren, Maxim D. Ballmer, Dan J. Bower +2
Aims: The secondary atmospheres of terrestrial planets form and evolve as a consequence of interaction with the interior over geological time. We aim to quantify the influence of p…
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…
