Worlds of Fire: What Molten Exoplanets Teach Us About Planet Formation


Listen Later

Join communications specialist Beth Johnson and Dr. Charles-Édouard Boukaré (York University) as they dive into new research on molten rocky exoplanets—worlds so hot that their surfaces are oceans of magma. This international study, led by York University, sheds light on how these fiery planets form, evolve, and what their extreme environments can teach us about the diversity of planetary systems. From the physics of molten mantles to what telescopes like JWST might reveal about their atmospheres, we'll explore the cutting-edge science that's reshaping our understanding of exoplanets beyond our solar system. 📄 Learn more: Press release → https://www.yorku.ca/news/2025/07/29/international-research-lead-by-york-u-prof-sheds-light-on-molten-rocky-exoplanets/ Paper → https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-025-02617-4 (Recorded live 11 September 2025.)
