Distinguishing Oceans of Water from Magma on Mini-Neptune K2-18b
The Astrophysical Journal LettersMildly irradiated mini-Neptunes have densities potentially consistent with them hosting substantial liquid-water oceans (“Hycean” planets). The presence of CO _2 and simultaneous absence of ammonia (NH _3 ) in their atmospheres has been proposed as a ...
