Detectability Of Oxygen Fugacity Regimes In The Magma Ocean World 55 Cancri e At High Spectral Resolution
Ultra-short Period exoplanets (USPs) like 55 Cnc e, hosting dayside magma oceans, present unique opportunities to study surface-atmosphere interactions. The composition of a vaporised mineral atmosphere enveloping the dayside is […]

Impact of Oxygen Fugacity on Atmospheric Structure and Emission Spectra of Ultra Hot Rocky Exoplanets
Atmospheres above lava-ocean planets (LOPs) hold clues as to the properties of their interiors, owing to the expectation that the two reservoirs are in chemical equilibrium. Here we consider `mineral’ […]
