Motivated by the current high interest in the field of warm dense matter research, in this
article we review the uniform electron gas (UEG) at finite temperature and over a broad …

We discuss our current understanding of the interior structure and thermal evolution of giant
planets. This includes the gas giants, such as Jupiter and Saturn, that are primarily …

Since Bridgman's discovery of five solid water (H2O) ice phases in 1912, studies on the
extraordinary polymorphism of H2O have documented more than seventeen crystalline and …

We investigate a new class of habitable planets composed of water-rich interiors with
massive oceans underlying H 2-rich atmospheres, referred to here as Hycean worlds. With …

In recent years, the advent of a new generation of radial velocity instruments has allowed us
to detect planets with increasingly lower mass and to break the one Earth-mass barrier. Here …

In stark contrast to common ice, I h, water ice at planetary interior conditions has been
predicted to become superionic with fast-diffusing (that is, liquid-like) hydrogen ions moving …

We use models of thermal evolution and extreme ultraviolet (XUV) driven mass loss to
explore the composition and history of low-mass, low-density transiting planets. We …

ABSTRACT NASA's Kepler Mission uses transit photometry to determine the frequency of
Earth-size planets in or near the habitable zone of Sun-like stars. The mission reached a …

Context. Water is one of the key chemical elements in planetary structure modelling. Due to
its complex phase diagram, equations of state often only cover parts of the pressure …

In the phase diagram of water, superionic ices with highly mobile protons within the stable
oxygen sublattice have been predicted at high pressures. However, the existence of …
