Kavli Affiliate: Laura Schaefer | Summary:Sub-Neptunes’ molten interiors are expected to accommodate large quantities of volatiles, potentially altering their radius evolution. Previous studies have examined this effect in isolation with simplified evolution modeling, often assuming idealized interior and atmospheric conditions. To address this limitation, we introduce SEAMIST, a unified evolution model for sub-Neptunes and super-Earths […]
