Outgassing on stagnant-lid super-Earths

Abstract: Aims. We explore volcanic outgassing on purely rocky, stagnant-lid exoplanets of different interior structures, compositions and thermal states. We focus on planets in the mass range of 1-8 M C (Earth masses). We derive scaling laws to quantify first-and second-order influences of these parameters on volcanic outgassing after 4.5 Gyrs of evolution. Methods. Given commonly observed astrophysical data of super-Earths, we identify a range of possible interior structures and compositions by employing Bayesian infe… Show more

“…Stagnant lid planets still experience volcanism, which can release a significant amount of CO 2 to the atmosphere, as estimated in previous studies for Mars (e.g. Pollack et al 1987;O'Neill et al 2007;Grott et al 2011), a hypothetical stagnant lid Earth (Tosi et al 2017), and super-Earths (Noack et al 2017;Dorn et al 2018). Moreover, burial of carbonated crust under lava flows could lead to metamorphic decarbonation of this crust, providing an additional CO 2 source to the atmosphere, or recycling of surface CO 2 back into the mantle (e.g.…”

“…However, the amount of outgasing also depends on the mass of the planet. The highest level is expected for planets with masses between 2-3 M⊕ (Dorn et al 2018 (Brown & Chaffee 1945;Brown et al 1975;Brown 1976;Brown &Shemansky 1982;Morgan & Pilcher 1982;Thomas 1993Thomas , 1996Küppers & Jockers 1995, 1997Kupo et al 1976).…”
