[HTML][HTML] Can we constrain the interior structure of rocky exoplanets from mass and radius measurements?
Aims. We present an inversion method based on Bayesian analysis to constrain the interior
structure of terrestrial exoplanets, in the form of chemical composition of the mantle and core …

Core formation and core composition from coupled geochemical and geophysical constraints
J Badro, JP Brodholt, H Piet… - Proceedings of the …, 2015 - National Acad Sciences
The formation of Earth's core left behind geophysical and geochemical signatures in both

Planetary and meteoritic Mg/Si and δ30Si variations inherited from solar nebula chemistry
The bulk chemical compositions of planets are uncertain, even for major elements such as
Mg and Si. This is due to the fact that the samples available for study all originate from …
