MSc project – Laboratory simulations of the influence of interior composition on exoplanetary atmospheres

Original Content – https://sirop.org/app/7496d233-5832-4519-9367-1617972b92c7 Observations of exoplanet atmospheres provide information as to their composition. In order to link these signatures to their interiors, this project employs high temperature/high pressure experiments to determine the likely compositions of their mantles and atmospheres formed from their evaporation Keywords: Exoplanet, interior, evaporation, atmosphere, experiment, high temperature, high pressure, mantle, […]
