A Geologic Si‐O‐C Pathway to Incorporate Carbon in Silicates
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 47-54., 2020 This book is Open Access. A digital copy can be downloaded for free from Wiley Online Library.
Explores the behavior of carbon in minerals, melts, and fluids under extreme conditions
Carbon trapped in diamonds and carbonate-bearing rocks in subduction zones are examples of the continuing exchange of substantial carbon ...

The Sensitivity of Eclipse Mapping to Planetary Rotation
The Astronomical Journal, 2022 Mapping exoplanets across phases and during secondary eclipse is a powerful technique for characterizing Hot Jupiters in emission. Since these planets are expected to rotate about axes normal to their orbital planes, with rotation periods synchronized ...

Tidal Dissipation Regimes among the Short-period Exoplanets
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 The efficiency of tidal dissipation provides a zeroth-order link to a planet’s physical properties. For super-Earth and sub-Neptune planets in the range R _⊕ ≲ R _p ≲ 4 R _⊕ , particularly efficient dissipation (i.e., low tidal quality factors) may ...

exoMMR: A New Python Package to Confirm and Characterize Mean Motion Resonances
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The study of orbital resonances allows for the constraint of planetary properties of compact systems. We can predict a system’s resonances by observing the orbital periods of the planets, as planets in or near mean motion resonance (MMR) have period ...

Rocky Planet or Water World? Observability of Low-density Lava World Atmospheres
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Super-Earths span a wide range of bulk densities, indicating a diversity in interior conditions beyond that seen in the solar system. In particular, an emerging population of low-density super-Earths may be explained by volatile-rich interiors.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 In order to understand the results of recent observations of exoplanets, models have become increasingly complex. Unfortunately, this increases both the computational cost and output size of said models.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Photochemical hazes are expected to form in hot Jupiter atmospheres and may explain the strong scattering slopes and muted spectral features observed in the transmission spectra of many hot Jupiters.

The Radius Cliff is a Waterfall: Explaining Sub-Neptune Exoplanets with Steam Worlds
The Astrophysical JournalThe demographics of Kepler planets provide a key testbed for models of planet formation and evolution, particularly for explaining the radius valley separating super-Earths and sub-Neptunes.

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.We present design considerations for animated transitions of the appearance of 3D spatial datasets in a hybrid Augmented Reality‐desktop context. Such hybrid interfaces combine both traditional and immersive displays to facilitate the exploration of 2D and 3D data representations in the environment in which they are best displayed.
