Prospects for Cryovolcanic Activity on Cold Ocean Planets
We have estimated total internal heating rates and depths to possible subsurface oceans for 17 planets that may be cold ocean planets, low-mass exoplanets with equilibrium surface temperatures and/or densities that are consistent with icy surfaces and a substantial H _2 O content. We have also inves...
