Exploring super-Earth surfaces: Albedo of near-airless magma ocean planets and topography

چکیده
In this paper we propose an analytic function for the spherical albedo values of airless and near-airless magma ocean planets (AMOPs). We generated 2-D fractal surfaces with varying compositions onto which individually threw 10,000 light rays. Using approximate form Fresnel equations measured how much incident was reflected. Having repeated algorithm on surface roughnesses find as a Hurst exponent, geochemical composition magma, wavelength. As proof concept, used our model Kepler-10b to demonstrate applicability approach. present produced from different lava multiple tests that can be applied observational data in order determine their characteristics. Currently, there is strong degeneracy AMOPs due large uncertainties albedos. spite this, when show its high could caused by moderately wavy rich oxidised metallic species such FeO, Fe2O3, Fe3O4. This would imply coreless or near-coreless body.

The Albedo Distribution of near Earth Asteroids
The cryogenic Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission in 2010 was extremely sensitive to asteroids and not biased against detecting dark objects. The albedos of 428 near Earth asteroids (NEAs) observed by WISEduring its fully cryogenic mission can be fit quite well by a threeparameter function that is the sum of two Rayleigh distributions. The Rayleigh distribution is zero for nega...
متن کاملVariability of Southern Ocean Jets near Topography
The interaction of jets with topography in the Southern Ocean is investigated using 19 years of altimetry data. In particular, the ‘‘jet jumping’’ mode of variability, by which two or more jets passing close to the same topographic feature show strongly anticorrelated strengthening and weakening, is studied. Three regional case studies are described—the Southeast Indian Ridge south of Tasmania,...
متن کاملA New Family of Planets? “ocean-planets”
A new family of planets is considered which is in between the rocky terrestrial planets and the gaseous giants, “Ocean-Planets”. We present the possible formation, composition and internal structure of these putative planets. We consider their oceans, as well as their possible exobiology interest. These exoplanets should be detectable by Space missions such as Eddington, Kepler, and possibly CO...
متن کاملTheoretical spectra of terrestrial exoplanet surfaces
We investigate spectra of airless rocky exoplanets with a theoretical framework that self-consistently treats reflection and thermal emission. We find that a silicate surface on an exoplanet is spectroscopically detectable via prominent Si–O features in the thermal emission bands of 7–13μm and 15–25μm. The variation of brightness temperature due to the silicate features can be up to 20 K for an...
متن کاملMultifractal earth topography
This paper shows how modern ideas of scaling can be used to model topography with various morphologies and also to accurately characterize topography over wide ranges of scales. Our argument is divided in two parts. We first survey the main topographic models and show that they are based on convolutions of basic structures (singularities) with noises. Focusing on models with large numbers of de...
