Experimental Laboratory Magma Ocean
Volatile chemical elements such as C, O, H, S, and N, are critical components in the formation and evolution of planets, control physical properties of planet interiors and associated processes such as plate tectonics, largely make up the composition of atmospheres, and determine planet habitability. Telescopic observations of exoplanets provide information about the atmospheres of planets, and the abundances of these volatile elements. However, we lack experimental constraints to reliably interpret atmosphere observations and link them to planet compositions. I propose a novel experimental approach that will provide a quantitative link of atmosphere chemistry and molecular speciation, to…
