The advent of radial velocity (RV) and transit photometry method has resulted in the
detection of more than 5000 exoplanets since 1995. Of these detected planets, a significant …

Core segregation and atmosphere formation are two of the major processes that redistribute
the volatile elements—hydrogen (H), carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and sulfur (S)—in and around …

Super-Earths span a wide range of bulk densities, indicating a diversity in interior conditions
beyond that seen in the solar system. In particular, an emerging population of low-density …

The ultra-short-period super-Earth 55 Cancri e has a measured radius of 1.88 Earth radii.
Previous thermal phase curve observations suggest a strong temperature contrast between …

Context. Ultrahot (> 1500 K) rocky exoplanets may be covered by a magma ocean, resulting
in the formation of a vapor rich in rocky components (eg, Mg, Si, Fe) with a low total pressure …

Context. Atmospheres above lava-ocean planets (LOPs) hold clues related to the properties
of their interiors, based on the expectation that the two reservoirs are in chemical …

Interactions between magma oceans and overlying atmospheres on young rocky planets
leads to an evolving feedback of outgassing, greenhouse forcing, and mantle melt fraction …

Planet Earth has evolved over the past 4.5 billion years from an entirely anoxic planet with
possibly a different tectonic regime to the oxygenated world with horizontal plate tectonics …

To date, over 500 short‐period rocky planets with equilibrium temperatures above 1500 K
have been discovered. Such planets are expected to support magma oceans, providing a …

Many known rocky exoplanets are so highly irradiated that their dayside surfaces are
molten, and 'silicate atmospheres', composed of rock-forming elements, are generated …
