Sub-Neptunes

The study couples interior and atmosphere models to study sub-Neptune hosting a deep lava ocean. The model is embeded in our TauREx3 retrieval framework, allowing to directly retrieve the composition of the magma ocean from its impact on the observable atmospheric composition.

The paper unveil a new mechanism we call reflation. The redox-sensitivity of mantle outgassing can trigger transient episodes of atmospheric reinflation in reduced super-Earths

The paper introduces a precomputed grid of aerosol extinction coefficients, and a new module for retrieving clouds in the JWST era.
