Volatile-Rich Earth-Mass Planets in the Habitable Zone
摘要:
A small planet is not necessarily a terrestrial planet. Planets that form beyond the snow line with too little mass to seed rapid gas accretion (<~ 10 Earth masses) should be rich in volatile ices like water and ammonia. Some of these planets should migrate inward by interacting with a circumstellar disk or with other planets. Such objects can retain their volatiles for billions of years or longer at ~1 AU as their atmospheres undergo slow hydrodynamic escape. These objects could appear in future surveys for extrasolar Earth analogs.
