Puffy Venuses: The Mass–Radius Impact of Carbon-rich Atmospheres on Lava Worlds

The recent advancements in exoplanet observations enable the potential detection of exo-Venuses, rocky planets with carbon-rich atmospheres. How extended these atmospheres can be, given high carbon abundances, has not been studied. To answer this, we present a model for a theoretical class of exopla...
