Burying Earth's Primitive Mantle in the Slab Graveyard

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
The evolution of mantle composition can be viewed as a process of destruction whereby the initial chemical state is overprinted and reworked with time.

The influence of general-relativity effects, dynamical tides and collisions on planet-planet scattering close to the star

open access: yes, 2019
Planet--Planet scattering is an efficient and robust dynamical mechanism for producing eccentric exoplanets. Coupled to tidal interactions with the central star, it can also explain close--in giant planets on circularized and potentially misaligned ...

Disruption of Planetary System Architectures by Stellar Flybys

open access: yesUniverse
We investigate the survivability of solar system-like planetary systems during close encounters in stellar associations using a suite of 1980 N-body simulations.

An introductory review of the thermal structure of subduction zones: III—Comparison between models and observations

open access: yesProgress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2023
The thermal structure of subduction zones is fundamental to our understanding of the physical and chemical processes that occur at active convergent plate margins. These include magma generation and related arc volcanism, shallow and deep seismicity, and

Planets and the Possibility of Life beyond Earth 

open access: yesZygon
The question of whether life exists beyond Earth has intrigued humans throughout history. Millennia of speculation have fueled both philosophy and theology, with contemplations of the spiritual state of alien beings shedding new light on that state of ...

Formation and Structure of Low Density Exo-Neptunes

open access: yes, 2011
Kepler has found hundreds of Neptune-size (2-6 R_Earth) planet candidates within 0.5 AU of their stars. The nature of the vast majority of these planets is not known because their masses have not been measured.

Expansion of the Planet Detection Channels in Next-Generation Microlensing Surveys

open access: yes, 2007
We classify various types of planetary lensing signals and the channels of detecting them. We estimate the relative frequencies of planet detections through the individual channels with special emphasis on the new channels to be additionally provided by ...

Orbital and physical properties of planets and their hosts: new insights on planet formation and evolution

open access: yes, 2013
We explore the relations between physical and orbital properties of planets and properties of their host stars to identify the main observable signatures of the formation and evolution processes of planetary systems.
