Heat-blanketed convection and its implications for the continental lithosphere
Kenny Vilella, Frederic Deschamps
Earth's continents are characterized by a strong enrichment in long-lived radioactive isotopes. Recent estimates suggest that they contribute to 33\% of the heat released at the su…
Low thermal conductivity of iron-silicon alloys at Earth core conditions with implications for the geodynamo
Wen-Pin Hsieh, Alexander F. Goncharov, Stéphane Labrosse +5
Earth core is composed of iron (Fe) alloyed with light elements, e.g., silicon (Si). Its thermal conductivity critically affects Earth thermal structure, evolution, and dynamics, a…
Constraints on the composition and temperature of LLSVPs from seismic properties of lower mantle minerals
Kenny Vilella, Thomas Bodin, Charles-Edouard Boukaré +4
Here, we provide a reappraisal of potential LLSVPs compositions based on an improved mineralogical model including, for instance, the effects of alumina. We also systematically inv…
Constraints on Super-Earths Interiors from Stellar Abundances
B. Brugger, O. Mousis, M. Deleuil +1
Modeling the interior of exoplanets is essential to go further than the conclusions provided by mean density measurements. In addition to the still limited precision on the planets…
