The nominal ranges of rocky planet masses, radii, surface gravities, and bulk densities

CT Unterborn, SJ Desch, J Haldemann… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
The two primary observable quantities of an exoplanet—its mass and radius—alone are not
sufficient to probe a rocky exoplanet's interior composition and mineralogy. To overcome …

ExoMDN: Rapid characterization of exoplanet interior structures with mixture density networks

P Baumeister, N Tosi - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2023 - aanda.org
Aims. Characterizing the interior structure of exoplanets is essential for understanding their
diversity, formation, and evolution. As the interior of exoplanets is inaccessible to …

Thermal Evolution and magnetic history of rocky planets

J Zhang, LA Rogers - The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a thermal evolution model coupled with a Henyey solver to study the
circumstances under which a rocky planet could potentially host a dynamo in its liquid iron …

Formation of super-Mercuries via giant impacts

J Dou, PJ Carter, ZM Leinhardt - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
During the final stage of planetary formation, different formation pathways of planetary
embryos could significantly influence the observed variations in planetary densities. Of the …

Composition constraints of the TRAPPIST-1 planets from their formation

AC Childs, C Shakespeare, DR Rice… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
We study the formation of the TRAPPIST-1 (T1) planets starting shortly after Moon-sized
bodies form just exterior to the ice line. Our model includes mass growth from pebble …

Super-Earths and Earth-like Exoplanets

T Lichtenberg, Y Miguel - arXiv preprint arXiv:2405.04057, 2024 - arxiv.org
In the last few years astronomical surveys have expanded the reach of planetary science
into the realm of small and dense extrasolar worlds. These share a number of characteristics …
