Rocky Planet or Water World? Observability of Low-density Lava World Atmospheres

Rocky Planet or Water World? Observability of Low-density Lava World Atmospheres

Super-Earths span a wide range of bulk densities, indicating a diversity in interior conditions beyond that seen in the solar system. In particular, an emerging population of low-density super-Earths may be explained by volatile-rich interiors. Among these, low-density lava worlds have dayside tempe...
