Despite its importance in geological sciences, our understanding of interactions between
gas and condensed phases (comprising solids and liquids) remains clouded by the fact that …

Recent advances in interplanetary dust modelling provide much improved estimates of the
fluxes of cosmic dust particles into planetary (and lunar) atmospheres throughout the solar …

K2-141 b is a transiting, small (1.5 R⊕) ultra-short-period (USP) planet discovered by the
Kepler space telescope orbiting a K-dwarf host star every 6.7 h. The planet's high surface …

It has long been recognized that Earth and other differentiated planetary bodies are
chemically fractionated compared to primitive, chondritic meteorites and, by inference, the …

The thermodynamic properties of SiO2 are approximated over a range of pressures and
temperatures important under the extreme conditions achieved in impacts at typical solar …

Lava worlds belong to a class of short orbital period planets reaching dayside temperatures
high enough to melt their silicate crust. Theory predicts that the resulting lava oceans outgas …

Most of the extraterrestrial dust entering the Earth's atmosphere ablates to produce metal
vapours, which have significant effects on the aeronomy of the upper mesosphere and lower …

We model the formation of silicate atmospheres on hot volatile-free super-Earths. Our
calculations assume that all volatile elements such as H, C, N, S, and Cl have been lost from …

The search for rocky exoplanets plays an important role in our quest for extra-terrestrial life.
Here, we discuss the extreme physical properties possible for the first characterised rocky …

Europa is a fully differentiated planet-sized satellite with a Fe or Fe-FeS core, a silicate
mantle, and a 100-to 160-km-thick outer layer consisting of an icy crust covering a probable …
