We demonstrate that the deep volatile storage capacity of magma oceans has significant
implications for the bulk composition, interior, and climate state inferred from exoplanet mass …

Variation of volume with temperature is a significant engineering consideration for numerous
applications. In addition, the molar volume is a central property along with the bulk modulus …

Abstract Knowledge of the interior structure and atmosphere of Mars is essential to
understanding how the planet has formed and evolved. A major obstacle to investigations of …

Seismic studies have found fine-scale anomalies at the core–mantle boundary (CMB), such
as ultralow velocity zones (ULVZs), and the core rigidity zone,. ULVZs have been attributed …

Context. The Gl 486 system consists of a very nearby, relatively bright, weakly active M3. 5 V
star at just 8 pc with a warm transiting rocky planet of about 1.3 R⊕ and 3.0 M⊕. It is ideal …

The Earth's core consists of iron as the major component. The melting point of iron at the
inner core boundary constrains the thermal structure and solidification of the Earth's core …

Context. The number of exoplanets with precise mass and radius measurements is
constantly increasing thanks to novel ground-and space-based facilities such as HARPS …

As a prospective study for a future exploration of Venus, we compute the tidal response of
Venus' interior assuming various mantle compositions and temperature profiles …

We describe the construction of a wide-ranged multiphase equation of state for elemental
iron, consisting of four solid phases and one fluid phase. The free-energy models for the …

The high-pressure melting diagram of iron is a vital ingredient for the geodynamic modeling
of planetary interiors. Nonetheless, available data for molten iron show an alarming …
