TABLE : Group on Shock Compression of Condensed Matter (GSCCM)
Title | Authors | Highlight | Session | |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Exoplanets: from Discovery to Characterization and Beyond | Seager, Sara | Exoplanets: from Discovery to Characterization and Beyond | Session 1: Materials at TPa: a New Frontier of Materials Physics |
2 | Phase transitions in mantle silicates and the internal structure of terrestrial exoplanets | Umemoto, Koichiro | In this talk I will review the sequence of phase transitions we discovered in pure MgSiO 3 up to 4 TPa, as well as in aggregates of MgSiO 3+MgO and MgSiO 3+SiO 2 with variable Mg/Si abundances. | Session 1: Materials at TPa: a New Frontier of Materials Physics |
3 | Mass-dependent Dynamics of Terrestrial Exoplanets Using ab initio Mineral Properties | Van den Berg, Arie; Yuen, David; Umemoto, Koichiro; Jacobs, Michael; Wentzcovitch, Renata | We present new modelling results for the internal structure and convective dynamics of large terrestrial (rocky) exoplanets. | Session 1: Materials at TPa: a New Frontier of Materials Physics |
4 | Phase Transitions Beyond Post-Perovskite in Neighborite (NaMgF3) to 1.6 Mbars | Duffy, Thomas; Dutta, Rajkrishna; Greenberg, Eran; Prakapenka, Vitali | In this work, we have studied the high-pressure behavior of NaMgF 3 to 1.6 Mbars using the laser-heated diamond anvil cell technique coupled with synchrotron x-ray diffraction. | Session 1: Materials at TPa: a New Frontier of Materials Physics |
5 | Laser Focus on Planets | Collins, Gilbert | Laser Focus on Planets | Session 1: Materials at TPa: a New Frontier of Materials Physics |
6 | What Juno and Cassini have told us about Giant Planet interiors | Stevenson, David | What Juno and Cassini have told us about Giant Planet interiors | Session 2: Physics of Planetary Interiors: Modeling Planets From Atomic to Global Scale |
7 | Setting the stage: dynamics of planet formation and water delivery | Raymond, Sean | I will present models to explain the diversity of observed planetary systems and the mechanisms that create that diversity. | Session 2: Physics of Planetary Interiors: Modeling Planets From Atomic to Global Scale |
8 | Imaging the Earth’s Interior based on Seismic Full Waveform Inversion | Tromp, Jeroen | In this presentation I will present our latest model. | Session 2: Physics of Planetary Interiors: Modeling Planets From Atomic to Global Scale |
9 | Spin crossover in iron in lower mantle minerals | Wentzcovitch, Renata | I will discuss key experimental data, contrast them with our ab initio results and thermodynamic models, show the implications for fundamental phenomena taking place at the atomic scale and their macroscopic manifestations, and discuss potential geophysical consequences of this phenomenon. | Session 2: Physics of Planetary Interiors: Modeling Planets From Atomic to Global Scale |
10 | Numerical Simulations of Mantle Convection and Plate Tectonics in the Earth and Planets: From Magma Oceans to Present Day | Tackley, Paul; Jain, Charitra; Rozel, Antoine; Sanan, Patrick; Lourenco, Diogo | Here, technical details will be discussed, including recent enhancements made with funding from the Swiss Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing (PASC) project. Recent scientific results on contrasting tectonic regimes and the long-term evolution of Earth, solar system planets and exoplanets will be presented [2-4]. | Session 2: Physics of Planetary Interiors: Modeling Planets From Atomic to Global Scale |
