Atmospheric Chemistry of Secondary and Hybrid Atmospheres of Super Earths and Sub-Neptunes

The atmospheres of small exoplanets likely derive from a combination of geochemical outgassing and primordial gases left over from formation. Secondary atmospheres, such as those of Earth, Mars, and Venus, are sourced by outgassing. Persistent outgassing into long-lived, primordial, hydrogen–helium...
