Interior Structure Models of Solid Exoplanets Using Material Laws in the Infinite Pressure Limit
Résumé
► Structural models of solid exoplanet interiors are constructed using equations of state for the radial density distribution, which are compliant with the thermodynamics of the high-pressure limit. ► Trade-offs in predicted radii of terrestrial-type exoplanets of up to ten Earth masses fall well within current observational limits. ► Deep exoplanet interiors are likely hotter than previously thought because of the pressure-induced, less vigorous convective heat transfer at depth.
