1 00:00:04,670 --> 00:00:03,260 welcome to the special astrobiology 2 00:00:06,530 --> 00:00:04,680 seminar we're not holding them in 3 00:00:09,799 --> 00:00:06,540 general this quarter but we are for our 4 00:00:13,070 --> 00:00:09,809 faculty five eights and the last 5 00:00:15,049 --> 00:00:13,080 candidate will be three weeks from today 6 00:00:18,050 --> 00:00:15,059 and and you'll be getting notice about 7 00:00:19,820 --> 00:00:18,060 that we're delighted to have more today 8 00:00:21,859 --> 00:00:19,830 from broader Space Flight Center in the 9 00:00:24,650 --> 00:00:21,869 exoplanets and stellar astrophysics lab 10 00:00:27,830 --> 00:00:24,660 there on mark was an undergraduate at 11 00:00:30,259 --> 00:00:27,840 Harvard and then got his PhD under mike 12 00:00:34,910 --> 00:00:30,269 michael brown the other Mike round the 13 00:00:39,260 --> 00:00:34,920 photo fame or I should say not Pluto 14 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:39,270 fame but it's not Pluto so much so 15 00:00:46,549 --> 00:00:41,489 what's the final name garrus garrus 16 00:00:48,950 --> 00:00:46,559 right thing and then he was a postdoc at 17 00:00:51,380 --> 00:00:48,960 at Harvard and at the center for 18 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:51,390 astrophysics and then a Hubble fellow at 19 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:53,250 Princeton and for the last couple years 20 00:00:58,060 --> 00:00:54,690 he's been at the Goddard Space Flight 21 00:01:00,830 --> 00:00:58,070 Center on he talked earlier today about 22 00:01:03,049 --> 00:01:00,840 optics designs that he's doing for the 23 00:01:04,100 --> 00:01:03,059 terrestrial planet finder mission but 24 00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:04,110 this afternoon he's going to be talking 25 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:06,000 about carbon planets and water planets 26 00:01:15,860 --> 00:01:09,090 and what presto planet finder might be 27 00:01:34,250 --> 00:01:30,230 oh okay very nice now Thank You woody I 28 00:01:36,410 --> 00:01:34,260 had some trouble deciding and what the 29 00:01:39,620 --> 00:01:36,420 title of this talk should be I wasn't 30 00:01:42,980 --> 00:01:39,630 sure whether I should put an s here or 31 00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:42,990 not for compositions I decided in this 32 00:01:48,500 --> 00:01:45,330 version then instead of the composition 33 00:01:51,170 --> 00:01:48,510 of low-mass extrasolar planets I should 34 00:01:54,170 --> 00:01:51,180 be generous with the idea that there are 35 00:01:56,150 --> 00:01:54,180 lots and lots of low-mass extrasolar 36 00:01:58,430 --> 00:01:56,160 planets out there and so they deserve to 37 00:02:03,890 --> 00:01:58,440 be in the plural at least that's what I 38 00:02:13,550 --> 00:02:03,900 hope the situation is so here's where we 39 00:02:15,860 --> 00:02:13,560 are so far with our planet inventory we 40 00:02:21,229 --> 00:02:15,870 know a heck of a lot of planets around 41 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:21,239 other stars roommate 209 and sis Tyler 42 00:02:27,199 --> 00:02:23,370 masses sort out most of them are 43 00:02:31,010 --> 00:02:27,209 jupiter-mass or larger you found a few 44 00:02:34,180 --> 00:02:31,020 recently that are approaching Neptune 45 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:34,190 mass and even ones that are that are 46 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:37,770 theirs we go there handful in the 47 00:02:46,010 --> 00:02:42,450 Neptune mass category but when I say a 48 00:02:48,830 --> 00:02:46,020 low-mass exoplanet I'm interested in the 49 00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:48,840 objects down here and the objects down 50 00:02:56,390 --> 00:02:53,489 here so kuro you may know is a mission 51 00:02:59,900 --> 00:02:56,400 that just launched in december and just 52 00:03:04,070 --> 00:02:59,910 saw first light last week that's French 53 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:04,080 mission design to find extrasolar 54 00:03:10,250 --> 00:03:08,370 earth-like planets by transit survey and 55 00:03:12,380 --> 00:03:10,260 we hope that kuro will call by Kepler 56 00:03:17,710 --> 00:03:12,390 and of these two missions will shortly 57 00:03:20,990 --> 00:03:17,720 be turning in a decent inventory of real 58 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:21,000 low mass exoplanets that we can study 59 00:03:25,290 --> 00:03:21,730 more geek 60 00:03:28,589 --> 00:03:25,300 and then my talk since afternoon which 61 00:03:34,170 --> 00:03:28,599 many poor patient enough to the 10 my 62 00:03:37,949 --> 00:03:34,180 lunch sock was about TPF which further 63 00:03:46,350 --> 00:03:37,959 ass masked extrasolar planets that we 64 00:03:50,100 --> 00:03:46,360 can study so you probably recognize this 65 00:03:54,509 --> 00:03:50,110 low mass extrasolar planet the question 66 00:03:56,759 --> 00:03:54,519 that I want to ask before we start 67 00:03:59,220 --> 00:03:56,769 finding lots more examples of low-mass 68 00:04:02,339 --> 00:03:59,230 extrasolar planets is are they all going 69 00:04:06,690 --> 00:04:02,349 to be like the earth are they all going 70 00:04:08,550 --> 00:04:06,700 to be this spectacular blue white color 71 00:04:10,229 --> 00:04:08,560 will they have different kinds of 72 00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:10,239 atmospheres will they have different 73 00:04:15,449 --> 00:04:13,510 kinds of internal compositions a lot of 74 00:04:17,629 --> 00:04:15,459 people have been thinking about this 75 00:04:22,860 --> 00:04:17,639 question what's the range of possible 76 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:22,870 exoplanets that are out there but in 77 00:04:28,670 --> 00:04:26,289 particular I've been trying to think as 78 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:28,680 broadly as possible about the question 79 00:04:38,250 --> 00:04:35,370 so our home planet is a silicate planet 80 00:04:43,260 --> 00:04:38,260 it's mostly made out of silicon and 81 00:04:47,969 --> 00:04:43,270 oxygen with a metal core and of course 82 00:04:51,060 --> 00:04:47,979 we live here in this thin biosphere at 83 00:04:53,700 --> 00:04:51,070 surface but is it possible that there 84 00:04:54,930 --> 00:04:53,710 are other planets that have internal 85 00:04:57,450 --> 00:04:54,940 compositions that are radically 86 00:04:59,279 --> 00:04:57,460 different than this how weird can it get 87 00:05:05,400 --> 00:04:59,289 can you have a planet that's made 88 00:05:09,870 --> 00:05:05,410 entirely out of nougat or peanut butter 89 00:05:14,770 --> 00:05:09,880 or some other exotic thing and that's 90 00:05:21,070 --> 00:05:18,170 so and here's the story for what we 91 00:05:25,460 --> 00:05:21,080 think has determined the composition of 92 00:05:30,410 --> 00:05:25,470 our earth in fact the rest of the solar 93 00:05:31,850 --> 00:05:30,420 system the broad picture that keep in 94 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:31,860 the back of our mind spoiling that's 95 00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:34,650 Louis introduced in the 70s which is 96 00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:37,680 that the solar system swirling gas disk 97 00:05:45,140 --> 00:05:42,510 and the gas disk had a range of 98 00:05:47,510 --> 00:05:45,150 temperatures the interior the gas test 99 00:05:50,180 --> 00:05:47,520 was hot and the outer reaches of the gas 100 00:05:52,420 --> 00:05:50,190 discs were cold and that the 101 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:52,430 planetesimals that formed in the disk 102 00:05:59,210 --> 00:05:56,490 represented the chemistry appropriate to 103 00:06:02,600 --> 00:05:59,220 the local temperature and there have 104 00:06:05,410 --> 00:06:02,610 been many people who did calculations of 105 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:05,420 the chemical equilibrium composition of 106 00:06:12,110 --> 00:06:10,410 solar nebula material and you learn when 107 00:06:14,630 --> 00:06:12,120 you do these kinds of studies that 108 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:14,640 material is that condensed in the hot 109 00:06:22,090 --> 00:06:17,330 part of a protoplanetary discs are 110 00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:22,100 dominantly metals metal oxides the 111 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:25,290 equilibrium composition the equilibrium 112 00:06:30,170 --> 00:06:26,810 chemistry farther out in the disk 113 00:06:35,660 --> 00:06:30,180 incorporates lots look it's and farther 114 00:06:37,610 --> 00:06:35,670 out in the disk Isis other volatile 115 00:06:39,860 --> 00:06:37,620 counter so the earth of course 116 00:06:41,930 --> 00:06:39,870 represents saw a mix of things may be 117 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:41,940 dominated by silicates metals that's why 118 00:06:48,020 --> 00:06:44,130 we have a planet made out of silicates 119 00:06:49,730 --> 00:06:48,030 and metals the outer parts of the solar 120 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:49,740 system of course have planets that 121 00:07:00,129 --> 00:06:54,650 incorporate more ices water ammonia ice 122 00:07:07,769 --> 00:07:05,429 okay so here is a diagram that 123 00:07:10,179 --> 00:07:07,779 laughter's and clegg we put together 124 00:07:14,649 --> 00:07:10,189 illustrating some of the condensates 125 00:07:18,189 --> 00:07:14,659 that rain out as you cool a disc of 126 00:07:20,439 --> 00:07:18,199 material so imagine that you had solar 127 00:07:23,290 --> 00:07:20,449 composition material which sits here on 128 00:07:26,050 --> 00:07:23,300 this line in this diagram and you 129 00:07:28,980 --> 00:07:26,060 started at high temperatures the diagram 130 00:07:34,809 --> 00:07:28,990 shows some of the solids that would 131 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:34,819 condense out material at solar carbon to 132 00:07:40,570 --> 00:07:37,810 oxygen ratio in this diagram the first 133 00:07:44,830 --> 00:07:40,580 materials that condense out our metal 134 00:07:46,779 --> 00:07:44,840 oxides in this calculation at 1,600 135 00:07:50,890 --> 00:07:46,789 polymer so then as you work your way 136 00:07:55,179 --> 00:07:50,900 down can start condensing silicates in 137 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:55,189 water and that's an example of what you 138 00:08:00,879 --> 00:07:57,770 listen others had mind with this picture 139 00:08:04,209 --> 00:08:00,889 of condensation temperature appropriate 140 00:08:06,939 --> 00:08:04,219 conversation determining the composition 141 00:08:08,860 --> 00:08:06,949 of planets in the solar system but of 142 00:08:11,379 --> 00:08:08,870 course this diagram doesn't stop at 143 00:08:13,929 --> 00:08:11,389 solar composition lotteries in Phegley 144 00:08:19,119 --> 00:08:13,939 were modeling the concession of us in 145 00:08:21,670 --> 00:08:19,129 the envelope of a giant star where the 146 00:08:24,129 --> 00:08:21,680 carbon to oxygen ratio is not 147 00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:24,139 necessarily the same as the solar carbon 148 00:08:30,579 --> 00:08:27,110 oxygen ratio in the Sun there's about 149 00:08:33,219 --> 00:08:30,589 twice as much oxygen as there is carbon 150 00:08:36,990 --> 00:08:33,229 but in the envelope of a giant star 151 00:08:40,420 --> 00:08:37,000 which is undergoing lots of nuclear 152 00:08:42,370 --> 00:08:40,430 processing the carbon to oxygen ratio 153 00:08:45,730 --> 00:08:42,380 can be quite a bit different can be 154 00:08:50,889 --> 00:08:45,740 higher than the value of a half and we 155 00:08:54,079 --> 00:08:50,899 see in the Sun so 156 00:08:55,970 --> 00:08:54,089 many giant stars will form condensates 157 00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:55,980 on the right side of the diagram right 158 00:09:00,340 --> 00:08:57,930 here and at higher carbon to oxygen 159 00:09:03,350 --> 00:09:00,350 ratios and you can see from this diagram 160 00:09:06,290 --> 00:09:03,360 that if you move to the right and you 161 00:09:09,610 --> 00:09:06,300 pass this magical number of carbon 162 00:09:12,050 --> 00:09:09,620 equals oxygen carbon oxygen levels that 163 00:09:16,660 --> 00:09:12,060 equilibrium cannock chemistry changes 164 00:09:19,129 --> 00:09:16,670 dramatic and for higher carbon 165 00:09:21,819 --> 00:09:19,139 abundances the high temperature 166 00:09:25,780 --> 00:09:21,829 condensates that you expect to form dust 167 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:25,790 and by extension planetesimals perhaps 168 00:09:31,370 --> 00:09:28,290 are very different the high temperature 169 00:09:36,189 --> 00:09:31,380 condensates our carbon rich materials 170 00:09:40,730 --> 00:09:36,199 graphite carbides and other reduced 171 00:09:49,829 --> 00:09:46,230 so that was a calculation for the 172 00:09:53,150 --> 00:09:49,839 envelopes of bread Giants but do we ever 173 00:09:55,470 --> 00:09:53,160 see carbon rich chemistry in 174 00:10:00,389 --> 00:09:55,480 protoplanetary discs that we see around 175 00:10:05,610 --> 00:10:00,399 other stars do we ever see carbonaceous 176 00:10:08,009 --> 00:10:05,620 materials in evidence for carbon rich 177 00:10:11,250 --> 00:10:08,019 materials surrounding young stars young 178 00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:11,260 planetary systems we sure do here are 179 00:10:15,420 --> 00:10:12,910 some recent spectra of key tourist 180 00:10:20,670 --> 00:10:15,430 dollars taken with the Spitzer Space 181 00:10:25,650 --> 00:10:20,680 Telescope showing you the spectra of 182 00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:25,660 these young stars are full of emission 183 00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:29,110 from polycyclic aromatic aromatic 184 00:10:39,019 --> 00:10:33,510 hydrocarbons Oh polycyclic aromatic 185 00:10:43,319 --> 00:10:39,029 hydrocarbons course are also called hook 186 00:10:47,670 --> 00:10:43,329 the if you look at the spectrum of a lot 187 00:10:52,379 --> 00:10:47,680 of different a critical thing kinds of 188 00:10:53,879 --> 00:10:52,389 competence someone showed one sponge 189 00:10:57,210 --> 00:10:53,889 would talk for someone compared 190 00:11:00,290 --> 00:10:57,220 inspection of a distant galaxy to the 191 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:00,300 spectrum of the exhaust from a 192 00:11:06,420 --> 00:11:03,250 Volkswagen Beetle and they remarkably 193 00:11:10,019 --> 00:11:06,430 similar so all kinds of Astrophysical 194 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:10,029 objects have a PHS these very 195 00:11:17,100 --> 00:11:15,130 carbon-rich compounds so t-tauri stars 196 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:17,110 which are thought to be analogs of the 197 00:11:23,250 --> 00:11:20,970 young son show signs of carbon 198 00:11:25,650 --> 00:11:23,260 carbonaceous dust just like that 199 00:11:31,110 --> 00:11:25,660 produced 200 00:11:32,820 --> 00:11:31,120 yeah employment now stars now what 201 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:32,830 happens if you take a protoplanetary 202 00:11:40,770 --> 00:11:37,770 disk and you sprinkle dust on the disk 203 00:11:42,930 --> 00:11:40,780 the dust doesn't just sit there the dust 204 00:11:47,340 --> 00:11:42,940 spirals inwards under the influence of 205 00:11:48,990 --> 00:11:47,350 gas train and as time goes by the dust 206 00:11:51,450 --> 00:11:49,000 has to pile up on this in the center of 207 00:11:54,030 --> 00:11:51,460 the disk and that's what this model 208 00:11:57,510 --> 00:11:54,040 wooten in Chiang illustrates they 209 00:12:01,650 --> 00:11:57,520 started out their experiment with this 210 00:12:02,970 --> 00:12:01,660 surface density profile of dust grains 211 00:12:04,230 --> 00:12:02,980 they weren't thinking about the 212 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:04,240 competition especially we'll just 213 00:12:09,930 --> 00:12:06,610 sprinkled some tests particles on their 214 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:09,940 gas discs and they saw that as time went 215 00:12:15,780 --> 00:12:13,530 by the surface density profile change 216 00:12:19,500 --> 00:12:15,790 material that was out here moved in 217 00:12:21,450 --> 00:12:19,510 words and eventually service that's the 218 00:12:23,430 --> 00:12:21,460 profile look like this it was an 219 00:12:25,530 --> 00:12:23,440 enhancement of salt in the center of the 220 00:12:28,410 --> 00:12:25,540 disk to look down below in this diagram 221 00:12:34,140 --> 00:12:28,420 as an illustration of little particles 222 00:12:36,740 --> 00:12:34,150 of dust moving into the center of the 223 00:12:44,230 --> 00:12:41,080 so we see t-tauri stars with evidence of 224 00:12:48,140 --> 00:12:44,240 carbonaceous grains and we know 225 00:12:53,810 --> 00:12:48,150 physically that grains tend to pile up 226 00:12:58,490 --> 00:12:53,820 in the Senators of planetary disc this 227 00:13:01,100 --> 00:12:58,500 model was invoked 93 but I wouldn't 228 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:01,110 hashim oh no other people as an 229 00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:02,970 explanation for the formation were 230 00:13:12,860 --> 00:13:08,570 particular kind of meteorite dreams so 231 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:12,870 wooden Hashimoto calculated the chemical 232 00:13:22,700 --> 00:13:18,890 equilibrium state of material that was 233 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:22,710 solar nebula solar composition with on 234 00:13:28,870 --> 00:13:25,490 difference that they added an 235 00:13:31,250 --> 00:13:28,880 overabundance of carbonaceous cranes 236 00:13:33,260 --> 00:13:31,260 just like what you would expect in the 237 00:13:36,020 --> 00:13:33,270 center of a protoplanetary disk where 238 00:13:39,260 --> 00:13:36,030 who had carbon-rich grains produced by 239 00:13:41,030 --> 00:13:39,270 all stars that have been transported to 240 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:41,040 the center of the disk to create a 241 00:13:46,460 --> 00:13:43,050 region of the disc that's enriched in 242 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:46,470 carbon material carbon rich material 243 00:13:52,010 --> 00:13:49,770 right so they made this diagram showing 244 00:13:54,260 --> 00:13:52,020 the compositions that you would expect 245 00:13:55,910 --> 00:13:54,270 the equilibrium compositions that you 246 00:14:02,770 --> 00:13:55,920 would expect as a function of 247 00:14:07,210 --> 00:14:04,930 if you think that the appropriate 248 00:14:10,420 --> 00:14:07,220 temperature for compensation is here 249 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:10,430 around 1100 degrees you get a bulk 250 00:14:17,050 --> 00:14:14,450 composition dominated by exit light and 251 00:14:19,450 --> 00:14:17,060 iron which is a pretty good match for 252 00:14:22,060 --> 00:14:19,460 the composition of esta tight Congress 253 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:22,070 this particular kind of meteorite rare 254 00:14:28,510 --> 00:14:23,330 cottonseed right that they were trying 255 00:14:32,050 --> 00:14:28,520 to explain other people have taken this 256 00:14:36,870 --> 00:14:32,060 in the left step farther what if we look 257 00:14:39,370 --> 00:14:36,880 elsewhere on this diagram we see that 258 00:14:43,300 --> 00:14:39,380 depending on the temperature that you 259 00:14:46,540 --> 00:14:43,310 think that represents for equilibrium 260 00:14:48,550 --> 00:14:46,550 chemistry you can get a variety of 261 00:14:51,340 --> 00:14:48,560 compositions ranging from those of mr. 262 00:14:55,180 --> 00:14:51,350 decon droids to even more carbon rich 263 00:14:59,170 --> 00:14:55,190 bodies like you could get planetesimals 264 00:15:04,030 --> 00:14:59,180 forming substantially out of graphite 265 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:04,040 silicon carbon and carbon enriched 266 00:15:18,750 --> 00:15:13,220 so imagine the giant instant I contract 267 00:15:21,420 --> 00:15:18,760 or a giant a planet formed out of even 268 00:15:23,390 --> 00:15:21,430 more rich carbon-rich planetesimals like 269 00:15:26,310 --> 00:15:23,400 those predicted by wooden Hashimoto 270 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:26,320 right this planet might have the iron 271 00:15:33,630 --> 00:15:31,450 core like the earth and it could have a 272 00:15:37,740 --> 00:15:33,640 mantle made out of carbides and other 273 00:15:42,420 --> 00:15:37,750 reduced minerals the surface is probably 274 00:15:44,630 --> 00:15:42,430 alive by extension materials that have 275 00:15:47,690 --> 00:15:44,640 been delivered to the surface think that 276 00:15:50,220 --> 00:15:47,700 volatile is on the surface of the earth 277 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:50,230 represent materials that have been 278 00:15:54,690 --> 00:15:51,850 delivered from else wearing the in the 279 00:15:55,980 --> 00:15:54,700 solar system but the bulk composition of 280 00:16:02,190 --> 00:15:55,990 this planet could be extremely different 281 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:02,200 than that of the earth so Phegley and 282 00:16:09,620 --> 00:16:05,890 Cameron we're trying to understand the 283 00:16:11,550 --> 00:16:09,630 bulk composition of mercury in Hades and 284 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:11,560 this is one of the directions they 285 00:16:19,100 --> 00:16:15,970 considered perhaps mercury formed in a 286 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:19,110 very reduced the chemical setting oh 287 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:21,370 they gave up on that idea because they 288 00:16:27,630 --> 00:16:25,330 couldn't get the density hina but since 289 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:27,640 then other people have thought about 290 00:16:32,930 --> 00:16:30,610 this possibility Catherine Wheel on 291 00:16:36,150 --> 00:16:32,940 catharina laughter's suggested this 292 00:16:39,870 --> 00:16:36,160 model as a possibility for the core of 293 00:16:43,860 --> 00:16:39,880 Jupiter our guy dose thought about this 294 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:43,870 concept he was worrying about which 295 00:16:47,610 --> 00:16:45,490 parts of the galaxy might be suitable 296 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:47,620 for life thinking about galactic 297 00:16:54,060 --> 00:16:50,650 habitable zone and then recently Sara 298 00:16:59,540 --> 00:16:54,070 Seager and I did some calculations about 299 00:17:07,170 --> 00:17:04,710 so I was telling you that the chemistry 300 00:17:10,470 --> 00:17:07,180 of planet formation is all about the 301 00:17:14,610 --> 00:17:10,480 chemistry of the protoplanetary disk to 302 00:17:17,550 --> 00:17:14,620 first approximation one reason I've 303 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:17,560 gotten excited about the possibility of 304 00:17:22,350 --> 00:17:19,690 carbon planets recently is related to 305 00:17:28,140 --> 00:17:22,360 this protoplanetary disk right here who 306 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:28,150 is part of this object okay most of you 307 00:17:32,700 --> 00:17:30,010 have heard of a Victorian I'm glad I 308 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:32,710 lady Victoria courses a nearby debris 309 00:17:39,150 --> 00:17:36,010 disk it's an a-star so it's a little 310 00:17:43,830 --> 00:17:39,160 more massive than the Sun but it's a 311 00:17:46,500 --> 00:17:43,840 spectacular example of what is probably 312 00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:46,510 a protoplanetary disk in the epic of 313 00:17:51,780 --> 00:17:50,110 terrestrial planet formation and here's 314 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:51,790 this beautiful image of a David course 315 00:17:58,440 --> 00:17:56,770 with the advanced camera for surveys on 316 00:18:01,290 --> 00:17:58,450 the Hubble Space Telescope which just 317 00:18:03,030 --> 00:18:01,300 broke yesterday and I really hope they 318 00:18:05,250 --> 00:18:03,040 get it fixed so it can make more 319 00:18:07,460 --> 00:18:05,260 beautiful pictures like this so beta 320 00:18:09,990 --> 00:18:07,470 Pictoris is an example of a 321 00:18:12,780 --> 00:18:10,000 protoplanetary disk that we that's 322 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:12,790 nearby that we can image easily in study 323 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:17,410 in detail rocky Roe marriage a prize 324 00:18:23,670 --> 00:18:21,090 postdoc at Goddard who's working with me 325 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:23,680 if it has just completed this inventory 326 00:18:30,450 --> 00:18:27,330 of the chemistry of the gas in this dish 327 00:18:36,460 --> 00:18:30,460 that's the green axis 328 00:18:42,039 --> 00:18:39,460 and she's learned that the carbon oxygen 329 00:18:46,380 --> 00:18:42,049 ratio in the gas in this disc is a 330 00:18:49,539 --> 00:18:46,390 spectacular 921 which is 18 times that 331 00:18:57,220 --> 00:18:49,549 house is christian spectra based on mass 332 00:18:59,289 --> 00:18:57,230 spectra that's crazy huh all right so 333 00:19:03,279 --> 00:18:59,299 what's going on here well of course as 334 00:19:05,230 --> 00:19:03,289 soon as she what was that did with the 335 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:05,240 desk of the answer other than Singh the 336 00:19:11,529 --> 00:19:08,690 gas is is is is pretty low actually 337 00:19:15,549 --> 00:19:11,539 convincing this is the residual yeah 338 00:19:19,690 --> 00:19:15,559 okay so at first I went Wow 921 carbon 339 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:19,700 planets right but of course there's 340 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:23,090 always more to the story the this 341 00:19:29,649 --> 00:19:26,210 particular disk is a debris disk the gas 342 00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:29,659 is very sparse right and it's quite 343 00:19:34,630 --> 00:19:32,809 possible it probably this gas actually 344 00:19:37,630 --> 00:19:34,640 represents gas released in the 345 00:19:41,380 --> 00:19:37,640 destruction of planetesimals so photo 346 00:19:42,970 --> 00:19:41,390 comments that are our vaporizing gases 347 00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:42,980 released in the collisions of 348 00:19:49,419 --> 00:19:46,370 planetesimals something in this disc is 349 00:19:51,220 --> 00:19:49,429 carbon rich I don't know if it's 350 00:19:53,289 --> 00:19:51,230 planet-sized bodies that are carbon rich 351 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:53,299 but this may point to carbon rich 352 00:19:56,919 --> 00:19:55,610 planetesimals and it may be that the 353 00:20:02,710 --> 00:19:56,929 solar system went through a phase like 354 00:20:04,649 --> 00:20:02,720 this right it may be that the young that 355 00:20:08,380 --> 00:20:04,659 the proto asteroids in the solar system 356 00:20:10,690 --> 00:20:08,390 were carbon rich and that they lost 357 00:20:11,919 --> 00:20:10,700 their volatile due to the process 358 00:20:17,970 --> 00:20:11,929 similar to what we're seeing in beta 359 00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:23,130 hey destruction of maybe we're seeing 360 00:20:28,140 --> 00:20:25,510 the death of carbon him dat evict Horace 361 00:20:29,940 --> 00:20:28,150 right maybe when the planets are not 362 00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:29,950 going to incorporate this carbon that's 363 00:20:38,250 --> 00:20:35,620 been yes but also makes you think that 364 00:20:40,950 --> 00:20:38,260 there's something interesting going on 365 00:20:44,100 --> 00:20:40,960 there and there is possibility of carbon 366 00:20:48,419 --> 00:20:44,110 rich mode of planet formation I was your 367 00:20:53,490 --> 00:20:48,429 ratio of halle this meeting off here 368 00:20:56,310 --> 00:20:53,500 looks pretty much close to one yeah are 369 00:21:00,120 --> 00:20:56,320 you getting on it so slow kind of sulfur 370 00:21:02,370 --> 00:21:00,130 book club to that indicate what is 371 00:21:05,909 --> 00:21:02,380 happening possible burns I don't know 372 00:21:10,180 --> 00:21:05,919 they're there may be other interesting 373 00:21:12,300 --> 00:21:10,190 publix yeah in this spot 374 00:21:17,130 --> 00:21:12,310 there 375 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:17,140 debris disks where we can measure gas 376 00:21:21,930 --> 00:21:19,810 and gas chemistry and this can be fun 377 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:21,940 trying to put together when all this 378 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:33,130 all right in my last talk i showed you 379 00:21:36,940 --> 00:21:34,970 some of my cartoons about different 380 00:21:39,010 --> 00:21:36,950 planet detection techniques one i want 381 00:21:46,730 --> 00:21:39,020 to focus on right now is transit 382 00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:49,500 okay so trans and observations are when 383 00:21:55,740 --> 00:21:51,370 you stare plenty telescope and to start 384 00:21:59,549 --> 00:21:55,750 and you look for a situation where the 385 00:22:01,919 --> 00:21:59,559 star becomes temporarily dimmer and you 386 00:22:06,210 --> 00:22:01,929 infer from that the presence of a planet 387 00:22:08,009 --> 00:22:06,220 that's orbiting around the star so the 388 00:22:11,120 --> 00:22:08,019 kuro mission and the Kepler missions 389 00:22:14,399 --> 00:22:11,130 that I mentioned on the first view graph 390 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:14,409 are expected to bring home lots of 391 00:22:18,750 --> 00:22:16,690 different candidates of transiting 392 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:18,760 planets and when we follow these up 393 00:22:25,580 --> 00:22:22,570 using medium velocity observations will 394 00:22:28,289 --> 00:22:25,590 probably have many examples of 395 00:22:32,220 --> 00:22:28,299 extrasolar earthlike planets that we can 396 00:22:35,909 --> 00:22:32,230 study and once you've found a transiting 397 00:22:38,490 --> 00:22:35,919 planet you can we observe the transiting 398 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:38,500 planet with a fancier more expensive 399 00:22:41,970 --> 00:22:39,730 telescope like the James Webb Space 400 00:22:44,730 --> 00:22:41,980 Telescope and use the transit to take a 401 00:22:48,690 --> 00:22:44,740 spectrum of the planet and this is 402 00:22:50,970 --> 00:22:48,700 starting to be a very exciting field of 403 00:22:55,700 --> 00:22:50,980 research and the Spitzer Space Telescope 404 00:23:02,310 --> 00:22:58,409 measurements of colors and spectra of 405 00:23:08,190 --> 00:23:02,320 planets that have been detected first 406 00:23:10,860 --> 00:23:08,200 using the transit technique so Sarah and 407 00:23:12,659 --> 00:23:10,870 I went about trying to figure out what 408 00:23:16,350 --> 00:23:12,669 is the spectrum of the paint carbon 409 00:23:17,850 --> 00:23:16,360 planet going to look like so what do you 410 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:17,860 see when you look at the spectrum of a 411 00:23:24,950 --> 00:23:21,570 transiting planet you see its atmosphere 412 00:23:28,810 --> 00:23:24,960 so here is a calculation of the 413 00:23:36,110 --> 00:23:28,820 composition of a 414 00:23:38,980 --> 00:23:36,120 of a planetary atmosphere it's a 415 00:23:41,779 --> 00:23:38,990 chemical equilibrium calculation so 416 00:23:43,990 --> 00:23:41,789 serenata calculated at every different 417 00:23:47,390 --> 00:23:44,000 combination of pressure and temperature 418 00:23:50,419 --> 00:23:47,400 what is the equilibrium chemistry for 419 00:23:54,590 --> 00:23:50,429 gas that has atomic composition to 420 00:23:57,740 --> 00:23:54,600 sugandha sun and also on this diagram 421 00:24:01,539 --> 00:23:57,750 who plotted a typical temperature 422 00:24:04,549 --> 00:24:01,549 pressure profile for Neptune mass planet 423 00:24:06,770 --> 00:24:04,559 for a hot Neptune has planned like the 424 00:24:11,690 --> 00:24:06,780 kind of planet that you would see in the 425 00:24:14,779 --> 00:24:11,700 transit survey so here in the land of 426 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:14,789 solar composition events the comfortable 427 00:24:22,279 --> 00:24:17,330 boring land of solar composition planets 428 00:24:24,380 --> 00:24:22,289 you can see that the entire atmosphere 429 00:24:27,860 --> 00:24:24,390 of the planet lies in this blue region 430 00:24:31,250 --> 00:24:27,870 of the diagram where the gases are rich 431 00:24:33,919 --> 00:24:31,260 in water and none of the atmosphere 432 00:24:37,070 --> 00:24:33,929 lives of the red diagram which is the 433 00:24:43,310 --> 00:24:37,080 water poor carbon monoxide which part of 434 00:24:47,659 --> 00:24:43,320 the diagram now if we turn up the carbon 435 00:24:51,110 --> 00:24:47,669 to oxygen ratio in the calculation the 436 00:24:55,220 --> 00:24:51,120 scene changes and most of this 437 00:24:58,930 --> 00:24:55,230 temperature pressure regime used now the 438 00:25:02,270 --> 00:24:58,940 carbon dioxide rich regime for this 439 00:25:07,370 --> 00:25:02,280 example temperature pressure profile for 440 00:25:10,430 --> 00:25:07,380 this example hot Neptune we see that 441 00:25:12,980 --> 00:25:10,440 most of the atmosphere is in a very 442 00:25:19,730 --> 00:25:12,990 water for carbon monoxide which regime 443 00:25:22,549 --> 00:25:19,740 and the synthetic spectrum as we go from 444 00:25:26,330 --> 00:25:22,559 solar composition carbon diox-- term 445 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:26,340 ratio of a half to carbon rich regime 446 00:25:38,810 --> 00:25:33,860 so here is the ordinary solar 447 00:25:42,590 --> 00:25:38,820 composition hot next election it's full 448 00:25:45,980 --> 00:25:42,600 of these water absorption features 449 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:45,990 here's this plastic you've probably 450 00:25:53,090 --> 00:25:47,850 heard of this for micron the mission 451 00:25:56,180 --> 00:25:53,100 peak from extra hot Jupiters right there 452 00:25:59,720 --> 00:25:56,190 it is when you turn up the carbon oxygen 453 00:26:01,760 --> 00:25:59,730 ratio the spectrum automatically maybe 454 00:26:04,540 --> 00:26:01,770 we will start finding the transiting 455 00:26:12,649 --> 00:26:04,550 planets that have these carbon monoxide 456 00:26:19,849 --> 00:26:15,649 what else can we do with transit 457 00:26:21,619 --> 00:26:19,859 observations well if we stay a very hard 458 00:26:23,810 --> 00:26:21,629 we can get a spectrum but you don't have 459 00:26:25,719 --> 00:26:23,820 to very stare very hard at all just to 460 00:26:28,999 --> 00:26:25,729 get the mass and radius of the planet 461 00:26:31,719 --> 00:26:29,009 here is a collection of mass and radius 462 00:26:34,389 --> 00:26:31,729 measurements for real transiting planets 463 00:26:40,849 --> 00:26:34,399 from our do paper by name Charbonneau 464 00:26:43,070 --> 00:26:40,859 others okay so here are all these 465 00:26:48,259 --> 00:26:43,080 different mass radius measurements for 466 00:26:50,479 --> 00:26:48,269 transiting planets and for comparison 467 00:26:52,369 --> 00:26:50,489 these folks have plotted some very 468 00:26:59,029 --> 00:26:52,379 simple models with the mass previous 469 00:27:02,450 --> 00:26:59,039 relationships of large hot planets their 470 00:27:04,820 --> 00:27:02,460 model consists of let's their their 471 00:27:10,639 --> 00:27:04,830 model is a constant density model okay 472 00:27:14,299 --> 00:27:10,649 so this is the radius that a ball with 473 00:27:19,129 --> 00:27:14,309 density one gram per cubic centimeter 474 00:27:23,749 --> 00:27:19,139 will have this line here is the radius 475 00:27:27,919 --> 00:27:23,759 goes as cube root of mass line you can 476 00:27:30,019 --> 00:27:27,929 see by comparing the mass radius 477 00:27:34,099 --> 00:27:30,029 measurements from transit observations 478 00:27:37,369 --> 00:27:34,109 to these lines that there are some 479 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:37,379 surprises here for one a large enough 480 00:27:43,940 --> 00:27:40,129 fraction of these transiting planets are 481 00:27:46,940 --> 00:27:43,950 less dense average than water so they 482 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:50,940 we don't really understand yet why the 483 00:28:02,850 --> 00:27:54,250 density of someone else's solo it defies 484 00:28:04,350 --> 00:28:02,860 our attempt to explain well I wasn't 485 00:28:10,260 --> 00:28:04,360 planning to tell you all the wonderful 486 00:28:13,050 --> 00:28:10,270 details about models of the radii of 487 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:13,060 these transiting massive planets I want 488 00:28:20,750 --> 00:28:18,490 to show you only that trans observations 489 00:28:25,500 --> 00:28:20,760 are good at measuring masses and radii 490 00:28:27,390 --> 00:28:25,510 well I mean is this part of the curve 491 00:28:32,120 --> 00:28:27,400 down here where we're going to reach 492 00:28:36,990 --> 00:28:32,130 with Kepler and corel below mass small 493 00:28:39,180 --> 00:28:37,000 exoplanets so here is a more detailed 494 00:28:41,850 --> 00:28:39,190 calculation of the mass radius 495 00:28:43,950 --> 00:28:41,860 relationships for extrasolar planets by 496 00:28:47,370 --> 00:28:43,960 as a policy and saltpeter of nineteen 497 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:47,380 sixty-nine they need these models for 498 00:28:56,310 --> 00:28:51,370 the mass radius relationships which take 499 00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:56,320 into account the way that the planet 500 00:29:01,980 --> 00:28:57,850 becomes crushed when it gets more 501 00:29:04,710 --> 00:29:01,990 massive when the planet is small down 502 00:29:07,190 --> 00:29:04,720 here the density of plans the same 503 00:29:14,130 --> 00:29:11,370 hey uniform density sphere is a good 504 00:29:17,330 --> 00:29:14,140 model and the radius varies is the cube 505 00:29:19,950 --> 00:29:17,340 root of the mass but then at some point 506 00:29:24,470 --> 00:29:19,960 the center of the planet compresses and 507 00:29:27,900 --> 00:29:24,480 that law stops upon now if here the 508 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:27,910 curves reach a maximum and then the 509 00:29:32,580 --> 00:29:30,250 planet starts shrinking if you added 510 00:29:34,710 --> 00:29:32,590 more mass on the Jupiter to increase its 511 00:29:37,670 --> 00:29:34,720 mass by a factor of 10 or so he would 512 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:37,680 start compressing and what do you drink 513 00:29:47,490 --> 00:29:40,090 that's what it's Paul Sneed salpeter per 514 00:29:49,380 --> 00:29:47,500 day so again Sarah and I Sara Seager and 515 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:49,390 I we're working on this together or 516 00:29:55,650 --> 00:29:53,650 focusing on the earth to super earth 517 00:29:58,620 --> 00:29:55,660 region of this diagram here in this 518 00:30:01,890 --> 00:29:58,630 corner we try to improve on the work of 519 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:01,900 suppose need salt here so where does the 520 00:30:06,990 --> 00:30:04,570 phosphine saltpeter go wrong where they 521 00:30:08,610 --> 00:30:07,000 went wrong is that they used a 522 00:30:10,950 --> 00:30:08,620 particular equation of state called 523 00:30:14,820 --> 00:30:10,960 Thomas Fermi Dirac equation state which 524 00:30:21,870 --> 00:30:14,830 really only worse at high pressures is 525 00:30:23,430 --> 00:30:21,880 Mike Brennan around ok so the Thomas 526 00:30:26,910 --> 00:30:23,440 Fermi Dirac equation of state for 527 00:30:29,910 --> 00:30:26,920 example doesn't incorporate molecules so 528 00:30:33,090 --> 00:30:29,920 clearly at low temperatures and low 529 00:30:35,100 --> 00:30:33,100 pressures most substances exist in the 530 00:30:38,190 --> 00:30:35,110 form of molecules we wanted to update 531 00:30:41,099 --> 00:30:38,200 this work taking into account improved 532 00:30:49,619 --> 00:30:46,570 so this diagram shows where planets in 533 00:30:56,409 --> 00:30:49,629 the solar system lie on the mass radius 534 00:30:58,299 --> 00:30:56,419 plot and it shows you that plants are 535 00:31:00,609 --> 00:30:58,309 expected to have different radii based 536 00:31:04,210 --> 00:31:00,619 on their bulk compositions so you can 537 00:31:06,639 --> 00:31:04,220 look at Jupiter and at these models and 538 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:06,649 infer just from knowing its size and 539 00:31:13,810 --> 00:31:10,090 mass that it's mostly made of hydrogen 540 00:31:15,460 --> 00:31:13,820 and you can also look at Neptune of the 541 00:31:17,889 --> 00:31:15,470 earth and see that they are mostly not 542 00:31:20,259 --> 00:31:17,899 made out of hydrogen they'd lie below 543 00:31:22,450 --> 00:31:20,269 the hydrogen the pure hydrogen planet 544 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:22,460 curves on this diagram they must have 545 00:31:27,969 --> 00:31:23,690 some of these heavier elements 546 00:31:32,219 --> 00:31:27,979 incorporated can we use the same method 547 00:31:40,029 --> 00:31:35,700 extrasolar transiting low-mass planets 548 00:31:42,009 --> 00:31:40,039 and what we find examples of planets 549 00:31:43,810 --> 00:31:42,019 that fill in some of these gaps on this 550 00:31:48,460 --> 00:31:43,820 diagram alright maybe their plans out 551 00:31:49,889 --> 00:31:48,470 there that will are purely made of 552 00:31:52,180 --> 00:31:49,899 carbon like the ones I showed before 553 00:31:53,769 --> 00:31:52,190 maybe they will find planets that are 554 00:31:57,999 --> 00:31:53,779 mostly made out of iron that are super 555 00:32:03,009 --> 00:31:58,009 dense down here meaning we'll find other 556 00:32:07,289 --> 00:32:03,019 exotic creatures so for example water 557 00:32:09,669 --> 00:32:07,299 planets should be extremely low density 558 00:32:14,999 --> 00:32:09,679 we have some water planets in our own 559 00:32:18,190 --> 00:32:15,009 solar system right the moons of Jupiter 560 00:32:23,799 --> 00:32:18,200 probably Stanley made out of water water 561 00:32:28,889 --> 00:32:23,809 ice liquid water imagine that you have a 562 00:32:32,049 --> 00:32:28,899 a a free planet with the composition of 563 00:32:34,930 --> 00:32:32,059 Ganymede right I call that an ocean 564 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:34,940 planet or water plan 565 00:32:40,730 --> 00:32:37,890 so there was Paul ski in south peters 566 00:32:43,010 --> 00:32:40,740 models on one end of the spectrum they 567 00:32:45,470 --> 00:32:43,020 took one simple equation state that 568 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:45,480 didn't include molecules and then there 569 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:47,610 is another extreme of modelers which are 570 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:51,210 people like diana valencia and dimitar 571 00:32:56,420 --> 00:32:53,370 SAS log who have been working on very 572 00:33:01,760 --> 00:32:56,430 detailed and this shows some of their 573 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:01,770 work model of the structures of water 574 00:33:15,170 --> 00:33:08,210 planets and a a giant silica planet so 575 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:15,180 bless ya all have modeled all kinds of 576 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:16,650 genomes they've thrown as many details 577 00:33:23,750 --> 00:33:18,810 as they possibly could in these models 578 00:33:27,700 --> 00:33:23,760 and they've included phase transitions 579 00:33:31,370 --> 00:33:27,710 they've concluded attempts to understand 580 00:33:36,740 --> 00:33:31,380 all the different subtleties of mantle 581 00:33:38,890 --> 00:33:36,750 chemistry and they've poured a lot of 582 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:38,900 work into these models but this isn't 583 00:33:43,190 --> 00:33:41,250 necessarily where you want to go if 584 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:43,200 you're presented with an astronomical 585 00:33:50,180 --> 00:33:47,850 observation Sarah and I said well what 586 00:33:53,090 --> 00:33:50,190 if someone tells us this is the mass is 587 00:33:54,830 --> 00:33:53,100 the radius of a particular plans is what 588 00:33:58,100 --> 00:33:54,840 we know about it what can we infer from 589 00:34:00,800 --> 00:33:58,110 it so instead of doing a detailed model 590 00:34:04,490 --> 00:34:00,810 of a single particular case we want to 591 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:04,500 understand the broad range of masses and 592 00:34:09,020 --> 00:34:07,170 radii but that work like Valencia Dell 593 00:34:12,980 --> 00:34:09,030 was just starting with different 594 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:12,990 compositions yes soulard that's all it 595 00:34:18,620 --> 00:34:16,050 buried yeah so Valencia and all assumed 596 00:34:21,410 --> 00:34:18,630 they started with the earth for example 597 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:21,420 has scaled it up so this is a very 598 00:34:31,220 --> 00:34:26,130 detailed model of a changing missiles of 599 00:34:32,450 --> 00:34:31,230 a higher mass earth analog and we say we 600 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:32,460 don't know Whitson if it's an earth 601 00:34:47,470 --> 00:34:40,870 so we actually throw out a lot of these 602 00:34:49,540 --> 00:34:47,480 details people like Mike Brown spend a 603 00:34:53,590 --> 00:34:49,550 lot of time trying to understand the 604 00:34:57,100 --> 00:34:53,600 equations of state for example of the 605 00:35:03,660 --> 00:34:57,110 materials that was the earth if you make 606 00:35:09,970 --> 00:35:07,120 profs kite you've just built yourself a 607 00:35:11,770 --> 00:35:09,980 nice tall matthew right so that's not a 608 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:11,780 small error when you're understanding 609 00:35:17,350 --> 00:35:14,450 the structure of our own planet because 610 00:35:18,910 --> 00:35:17,360 we can measure it very precisely but if 611 00:35:21,310 --> 00:35:18,920 your son understanding an extra slow 612 00:35:25,270 --> 00:35:21,320 planet and there's a ten percent error 613 00:35:29,370 --> 00:35:25,280 bar on the radius then it makes sense to 614 00:35:35,140 --> 00:35:29,380 approximate that level of detail away 615 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:35,150 plus you so here are the equations of 616 00:35:39,490 --> 00:35:37,610 eternal internal structure that tell you 617 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:39,500 the mass radius relationship for a 618 00:35:47,020 --> 00:35:43,970 planet I'm gonna argue with but this is 619 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:47,030 what we saw americlean in order to solve 620 00:35:52,810 --> 00:35:49,610 those equations you need to understand 621 00:35:55,630 --> 00:35:52,820 the behavior of the rocks that you put 622 00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:55,640 in the planet as you compress them so 623 00:36:00,640 --> 00:35:57,890 here are some of our improved equations 624 00:36:02,650 --> 00:36:00,650 of state taking a step beyond thomas 625 00:36:04,780 --> 00:36:02,660 fermi dirac equation state gone through 626 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:04,790 the literature and use equations of 627 00:36:09,970 --> 00:36:07,970 state by vinay aperture Murnaghan tests 628 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:09,980 and did our best to paste them together 629 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:13,610 into a improved representation of how 630 00:36:22,900 --> 00:36:18,170 these various minerals from iron to 631 00:36:26,890 --> 00:36:22,910 silicon carbide water etc compress as 632 00:36:30,010 --> 00:36:26,900 you put them under pressure right here 633 00:36:34,620 --> 00:36:30,020 is the pressure of the material there's 634 00:36:36,990 --> 00:36:34,630 the density down here at low pressures 635 00:36:40,589 --> 00:36:37,000 most planet-forming materials don't 636 00:36:42,180 --> 00:36:40,599 compress know if you make the turn up 637 00:36:45,509 --> 00:36:42,190 the pressure enough they started 638 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:45,519 compressing right that's what's going on 639 00:36:53,730 --> 00:36:50,890 this diagram and here are some of our 640 00:36:58,519 --> 00:36:53,740 predictions unfortunately we discovered 641 00:37:01,970 --> 00:36:58,529 that carbon planets are probably not 642 00:37:07,049 --> 00:37:01,980 distinguishable from silicate planets 643 00:37:12,809 --> 00:37:07,059 using transit techniques so this diagram 644 00:37:14,849 --> 00:37:12,819 shows the radius Maps relationships that 645 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:14,859 we predicted using our models for 646 00:37:20,099 --> 00:37:17,650 variety of different compositions the 647 00:37:22,140 --> 00:37:20,109 lowest radius planets the smallest 648 00:37:23,309 --> 00:37:22,150 planets at a good mass of all the 649 00:37:25,829 --> 00:37:23,319 different equations of state that we 650 00:37:29,069 --> 00:37:25,839 study are the iron tonight so for 651 00:37:34,019 --> 00:37:29,079 example you could imagine a planet that 652 00:37:36,569 --> 00:37:34,029 is all core mercury is a step in that 653 00:37:38,940 --> 00:37:36,579 direction it's the densest planet in the 654 00:37:40,799 --> 00:37:38,950 solar system it's probably the closest 655 00:37:45,269 --> 00:37:40,809 of any of the plans we know to be in 656 00:37:50,089 --> 00:37:45,279 just a pure metal core so mercury would 657 00:37:52,559 --> 00:37:50,099 sit down aarons line actually it's 658 00:37:57,509 --> 00:37:52,569 little nastier to sit down here in this 659 00:37:59,039 --> 00:37:57,519 diagram so the least dense planets of 660 00:38:01,650 --> 00:37:59,049 all the different plans we considered 661 00:38:03,779 --> 00:38:01,660 other pure water plants we think we 662 00:38:07,270 --> 00:38:03,789 probably can distinguish you a water 663 00:38:10,060 --> 00:38:07,280 planet easily from a silica plan 664 00:38:13,570 --> 00:38:10,070 in transit observations so we'll be able 665 00:38:16,180 --> 00:38:13,580 to use these observations to test ideas 666 00:38:18,790 --> 00:38:16,190 about the origin of the Earth's water 667 00:38:24,780 --> 00:38:18,800 for example and transport of volatiles 668 00:38:27,850 --> 00:38:24,790 around planetary system these are some 669 00:38:30,550 --> 00:38:27,860 seven percent error bars and error bars 670 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:30,560 that we think are plausible expectations 671 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:35,930 for the performance of Kepler and this 672 00:38:48,690 --> 00:38:41,330 purple dot here represents the measured 673 00:38:51,940 --> 00:38:48,700 mass of Lisa 876 D this is a real live 674 00:38:57,100 --> 00:38:51,950 little mass planet detected by after we 675 00:39:02,680 --> 00:38:59,710 you may notice that these curves all 676 00:39:04,630 --> 00:39:02,690 have similar shapes so i'll just show 677 00:39:11,770 --> 00:39:04,640 you for a second like that what that 678 00:39:14,620 --> 00:39:11,780 represents these equations of state as 679 00:39:16,990 --> 00:39:14,630 i've shown you are flat here and then at 680 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:17,000 some point they turn out the point where 681 00:39:24,580 --> 00:39:22,610 the equations of state art rising is the 682 00:39:27,310 --> 00:39:24,590 bulk modulus of the material it's good 683 00:39:30,790 --> 00:39:27,320 the pressure which the material starts 684 00:39:34,090 --> 00:39:30,800 to crush and this pressure gives you a 685 00:39:39,190 --> 00:39:34,100 scale a scale that you can use to solve 686 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:39,200 differential equations so so we put 687 00:39:43,390 --> 00:39:41,570 together an analytic solution to the 688 00:39:49,540 --> 00:39:43,400 equations of internal structure using 689 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:49,550 this scale to help us find an 690 00:39:56,650 --> 00:39:53,450 approximate solution so we scale all the 691 00:40:00,550 --> 00:39:56,660 variables a lot and when we do that we 692 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:00,560 discover that if you choose the 693 00:40:04,180 --> 00:40:02,210 appropriate variables to solve the 694 00:40:07,300 --> 00:40:04,190 differential equations you can ignore 695 00:40:10,060 --> 00:40:07,310 this if you're not a geek like me that 696 00:40:12,490 --> 00:40:10,070 all of the mass radius relationships 697 00:40:13,900 --> 00:40:12,500 collapse onto each other and you see 698 00:40:25,510 --> 00:40:13,910 that they all have the same functional 699 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:25,520 form Oh trivia okay but now back to 700 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:29,210 other weird kinds of plans you may know 701 00:40:35,860 --> 00:40:31,370 that the first extrasolar plan is 702 00:40:38,530 --> 00:40:35,870 discovered we're not planets around 703 00:40:42,420 --> 00:40:38,540 sun-like stars they were planets around 704 00:40:47,430 --> 00:40:42,430 a pulsar here are the discovery plots 705 00:40:51,740 --> 00:40:47,440 showing you the 706 00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:51,750 the signals that Alex Walsh amused 707 00:40:59,430 --> 00:40:56,890 ultra-trail used to distinguish to 708 00:41:02,730 --> 00:40:59,440 recognize that this pulse art had 709 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:02,740 planets and what am i showing you this 710 00:41:09,510 --> 00:41:06,010 plot it's because the planets around the 711 00:41:12,829 --> 00:41:09,520 Pulsar probably formed the 712 00:41:16,710 --> 00:41:12,839 protoplanetary disk is quite different 713 00:41:18,809 --> 00:41:16,720 solar nebula you might imagine that the 714 00:41:20,670 --> 00:41:18,819 chemistry of a disk around the Pulsar 715 00:41:22,950 --> 00:41:20,680 will be very different from the 716 00:41:27,900 --> 00:41:22,960 chemistry that solar nebula does 717 00:41:35,550 --> 00:41:27,910 everybody know what a pulse are you I've 718 00:41:38,099 --> 00:41:35,560 SI hay pulsar is a remnant of stellar 719 00:41:42,510 --> 00:41:38,109 evolution you take a very massive star 720 00:41:48,630 --> 00:41:42,520 and you wait until the end of its life a 721 00:41:53,099 --> 00:41:48,640 star will explode catastrophic Lena in a 722 00:41:56,940 --> 00:41:53,109 supernova and then all its left of the 723 00:42:00,500 --> 00:41:56,950 star after the supernova is a object 724 00:42:04,980 --> 00:42:00,510 called the neutron star which is a 725 00:42:10,710 --> 00:42:04,990 earthside sorry a mountain-sized ball 726 00:42:14,819 --> 00:42:10,720 with extremely high density for example 727 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:14,829 look nearby at a nebula called the Crab 728 00:42:20,970 --> 00:42:16,690 Nebula this nebula is thought to 729 00:42:22,890 --> 00:42:20,980 represent a the remnants of a of a 730 00:42:25,250 --> 00:42:22,900 supernova explosion in the center of 731 00:42:30,390 --> 00:42:25,260 that nebula we see a neutron star 732 00:42:33,349 --> 00:42:30,400 neutron stars the service of neutron 733 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:33,359 star can be very exciting they have 734 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:38,050 launched these Jets and the neutron 735 00:42:44,300 --> 00:42:40,890 stars can also spin rapidly 736 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:44,310 and every now and then when the star 737 00:42:49,790 --> 00:42:46,890 rotates interview 1 then this star is 738 00:42:52,460 --> 00:42:49,800 rotated to the right position the jet 739 00:42:55,100 --> 00:42:52,470 can intersect our website and we'll see 740 00:42:57,380 --> 00:42:55,110 the neutron star become brighter and 741 00:43:00,740 --> 00:42:57,390 fainter as a jet rotates in and out of 742 00:43:08,660 --> 00:43:00,750 you so that's what a pulsar is insane 743 00:43:14,140 --> 00:43:08,670 it's a spinning neutron star okay so the 744 00:43:20,210 --> 00:43:14,150 timing of the pulses as a signal to 745 00:43:22,700 --> 00:43:20,220 indicate how far away the Pulsar is 746 00:43:28,850 --> 00:43:22,710 along our line of sight right if a 747 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:28,860 pulsar emits a pulse and then jumps 748 00:43:33,350 --> 00:43:31,290 backwards say under the gravitational 749 00:43:34,940 --> 00:43:33,360 influence but planet the next pulse it 750 00:43:37,190 --> 00:43:34,950 emits it's going to take a little bit 751 00:43:40,190 --> 00:43:37,200 longer to get to you because now it's 752 00:43:42,710 --> 00:43:40,200 farther away from you would then to the 753 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:42,720 first policy so you can measure the time 754 00:43:48,530 --> 00:43:46,770 when the pulses arrive and that's an 755 00:43:53,930 --> 00:43:48,540 indication of motion of the pulse are 756 00:43:59,590 --> 00:43:53,940 along the line of sight and Alex used 757 00:44:02,020 --> 00:43:59,600 this technique to infer the 758 00:44:04,060 --> 00:44:02,030 the motion that the Pulsar in response 759 00:44:06,550 --> 00:44:04,070 to locate planetary systems now at 760 00:44:07,870 --> 00:44:06,560 latest count has four planets it anyway 761 00:44:12,940 --> 00:44:07,880 this is the first discovery of 762 00:44:18,130 --> 00:44:12,950 extrasolar planet oh and these planets 763 00:44:19,060 --> 00:44:18,140 are quite possibly carbon planets the 764 00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:19,070 other place where you might have 765 00:44:24,550 --> 00:44:21,410 interesting planet formation chemistry 766 00:44:27,990 --> 00:44:24,560 would be in a disk on a white door we 767 00:44:30,370 --> 00:44:28,000 often see systems of white dwarfs 768 00:44:33,910 --> 00:44:30,380 systems of pairs of white dorm so a 769 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:33,920 white door is another kind of evolved 770 00:44:40,420 --> 00:44:37,850 star if a lower mass star if you wait to 771 00:44:42,370 --> 00:44:40,430 the end of the life of a lower mass star 772 00:44:45,250 --> 00:44:42,380 like something the mass of our Sun 773 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:45,260 eventually becomes a white dwarf and 774 00:44:58,180 --> 00:44:56,500 if the Kerravala such a way that the the 775 00:45:01,720 --> 00:44:58,190 two white dwarfs are very close to each 776 00:45:03,370 --> 00:45:01,730 other the white dwarfs converge this 777 00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:03,380 produces a variety of interesting 778 00:45:08,620 --> 00:45:06,050 phenomena from another kind of supernova 779 00:45:12,670 --> 00:45:08,630 amazing for another kind of supernova to 780 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:12,680 have a lot to other kinds of phenomena 781 00:45:21,900 --> 00:45:17,940 white dwarfs with disks and things like 782 00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:21,910 that and a white door free disk can form 783 00:45:27,660 --> 00:45:26,290 planets right why not I always suspect 784 00:45:30,570 --> 00:45:27,670 that whenever i see you natural physical 785 00:45:35,730 --> 00:45:30,580 disk there may be some kind of plans for 786 00:45:37,710 --> 00:45:35,740 me to disc a disc made out of a shredded 787 00:45:41,100 --> 00:45:37,720 white dwarf like something that you 788 00:45:43,530 --> 00:45:41,110 might see in this binary white dwarf 789 00:45:46,500 --> 00:45:43,540 configuration would be made mostly of 790 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:46,510 carbon monoxide so perhaps there are 791 00:45:52,830 --> 00:45:48,850 white dwarf systems out there the carbon 792 00:45:55,830 --> 00:45:52,840 relates like clouds again sounds like 793 00:45:58,320 --> 00:45:55,840 I'm telling you a fairy tale but we've 794 00:46:00,690 --> 00:45:58,330 done a survey of white dwarfs with the 795 00:46:03,780 --> 00:46:00,700 Spitzer Space Telescope a huge list of 796 00:46:11,370 --> 00:46:03,790 some of my collaborators looking for 797 00:46:14,490 --> 00:46:11,380 these disks and we've discovered a least 798 00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:14,500 one example of a very massive white 799 00:46:21,770 --> 00:46:17,290 dwarf with the disk around this plot 800 00:46:24,870 --> 00:46:21,780 shows you a spectrum that we took of 801 00:46:28,580 --> 00:46:24,880 this white Dorf GD 362 which is one of 802 00:46:34,650 --> 00:46:28,590 the most massive white doors and the 803 00:46:37,530 --> 00:46:34,660 spectrum shows you the light emitted by 804 00:46:41,610 --> 00:46:37,540 the white door over here that's what 805 00:46:43,500 --> 00:46:41,620 this line represents and it also shows 806 00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:43,510 you are photometry that we took the 807 00:46:50,310 --> 00:46:46,570 dispenser space so it shows you that 808 00:46:52,830 --> 00:46:50,320 this model consisting of a single plain 809 00:46:54,690 --> 00:46:52,840 white Dolph is wrong and that finally 810 00:46:56,460 --> 00:46:54,700 the white dwarf is hosting some 811 00:46:59,990 --> 00:46:56,470 circumstellar material that's colder 812 00:47:05,670 --> 00:47:00,000 than the surface of the white dwarf 813 00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:05,680 probably a disk the GD 362 is special 814 00:47:10,710 --> 00:47:08,410 because one of the most massive white 815 00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:10,720 dwarfs suggesting that perhaps the 816 00:47:17,690 --> 00:47:13,090 system was formed in a white door merger 817 00:47:21,410 --> 00:47:20,940 protoplanetary disk substantial amount 818 00:47:36,980 --> 00:47:21,420 of 819 00:47:41,780 --> 00:47:36,990 want to think about representing the 820 00:47:44,839 --> 00:47:41,790 range of carbon oxygen ratios it's 821 00:47:47,059 --> 00:47:44,849 pretty vague at the moment but perhaps 822 00:47:51,799 --> 00:47:47,069 the details will be filled in as time 823 00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:51,809 goes by at low carbon oxygen ratios we 824 00:47:57,789 --> 00:47:54,450 have the solar system where the low-mass 825 00:48:01,220 --> 00:47:57,799 planets here are made of silicate 826 00:48:03,859 --> 00:48:01,230 sometimes they have water on them the 827 00:48:08,630 --> 00:48:03,869 high mass planets are planets like 828 00:48:11,930 --> 00:48:08,640 Jupiter substantially a hydrogen the 829 00:48:15,069 --> 00:48:11,940 thinking is that have a massive enough 830 00:48:18,950 --> 00:48:15,079 core inside a proprietary disk that the 831 00:48:22,910 --> 00:48:18,960 folding track the hydrogen the disk 832 00:48:25,730 --> 00:48:22,920 adaptation and all planets that are 833 00:48:29,070 --> 00:48:25,740 using the massive we mostly hide that's 834 00:48:32,970 --> 00:48:29,080 the story for 835 00:48:34,470 --> 00:48:32,980 this company understood then we have on 836 00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:34,480 the other side of the carbon-oxygen 837 00:48:40,860 --> 00:48:37,650 equals 1 ratio we have carbon rich 838 00:48:43,770 --> 00:48:40,870 plantation which may be occurring in 839 00:48:48,540 --> 00:48:43,780 disks around pulsars and disks around 840 00:48:51,300 --> 00:48:48,550 white dwarfs and there you might infer 841 00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:51,310 from the calculations of enstatite con 842 00:48:58,080 --> 00:48:54,850 droid formation perhaps you would expect 843 00:49:00,870 --> 00:48:58,090 to see carbon-rich planets perhaps made 844 00:49:13,710 --> 00:49:00,880 of silicon carbide perhaps formative 845 00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:18,270 it means I had a ten minutes left right 846 00:49:25,210 --> 00:49:23,090 then I've also suggested that perhaps 847 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:25,220 there are some protoplanetary disks that 848 00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:30,770 without carbon monoxide and mario livio 849 00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:34,970 has written a paper allowed possibility 850 00:49:41,170 --> 00:49:38,810 of carbon monoxide planet formation so 851 00:49:45,460 --> 00:49:41,180 these would be planets that form out of 852 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:45,470 gas right not out of solids gas-rich 853 00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:48,890 planets that form a disk of carbon 854 00:49:55,510 --> 00:49:52,130 monoxide there may be planets around 855 00:50:00,719 --> 00:49:55,520 white dwarfs for example that carbon 856 00:50:06,789 --> 00:50:03,009 of course the bottom of this diagram 857 00:50:10,989 --> 00:50:06,799 couldn't help speculating about the 858 00:50:16,839 --> 00:50:10,999 possibility of life on a carbon-rich 859 00:50:19,959 --> 00:50:16,849 planet the life on our planet has a 860 00:50:24,269 --> 00:50:19,969 whole range of metabolisms of course but 861 00:50:27,849 --> 00:50:24,279 you and I get our energy by oxidizing 862 00:50:31,989 --> 00:50:27,859 carbon rich material perhaps there will 863 00:50:34,359 --> 00:50:31,999 be life on carbon planets that works in 864 00:50:38,939 --> 00:50:34,369 a different way perhaps there can be 865 00:50:41,919 --> 00:50:38,949 life on a carbon planet that instead of 866 00:50:46,529 --> 00:50:41,929 generating energy through oxidation 867 00:50:54,339 --> 00:50:46,539 perhaps generates interview by reduction 868 00:50:57,219 --> 00:50:54,349 so for example if you had we we generate 869 00:51:00,390 --> 00:50:57,229 energy by combining oxygen with our 870 00:51:06,069 --> 00:51:00,400 carbon rich food imagine an animal that 871 00:51:07,959 --> 00:51:06,079 had very oxygen-rich food and extracted 872 00:51:11,529 --> 00:51:07,969 carbon abundant carbon from its 873 00:51:14,650 --> 00:51:11,539 surroundings to reduce it with and use 874 00:51:21,230 --> 00:51:14,660 that source of energy and that's about 875 00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:26,630 I think I'll start off the your 876 00:51:32,660 --> 00:51:28,530 dynamicists also you didn't talk about 877 00:51:34,190 --> 00:51:32,670 stability like the time what you got a 878 00:51:37,180 --> 00:51:34,200 planet and so forth which of course is 879 00:51:39,230 --> 00:51:37,190 important for life also so right are you 880 00:51:42,290 --> 00:51:39,240 seriously suggesting that you might have 881 00:51:45,550 --> 00:51:42,300 enough time in a planet that for me on 882 00:51:49,730 --> 00:51:45,560 the right dwarf it's good life going ah 883 00:51:52,100 --> 00:51:49,740 question okay what's your opinion on how 884 00:51:55,190 --> 00:51:52,110 long it takes to get life going Oh few 885 00:51:58,220 --> 00:51:55,200 hundred million years if you by the way 886 00:52:03,950 --> 00:51:58,230 if you got the right conditions right um 887 00:52:05,570 --> 00:52:03,960 well the we have several examples of 888 00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:05,580 disks around white dwarfs that we know 889 00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:08,610 and we don't always know the ages of 890 00:52:13,850 --> 00:52:12,090 each particular disc because in order to 891 00:52:16,310 --> 00:52:13,860 measure the age of the white dorm you 892 00:52:18,890 --> 00:52:16,320 generally need to know the distance to 893 00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:18,900 the white dwarf or you need a very 894 00:52:24,950 --> 00:52:22,050 detailed model of its temperature in 895 00:52:29,510 --> 00:52:24,960 flux me we don't always have that luxury 896 00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:29,520 but we do know we that on average the 897 00:52:36,340 --> 00:52:31,170 kind of white dwarf that we looked at 898 00:52:38,870 --> 00:52:36,350 the typical age is a gig a year so 899 00:52:41,300 --> 00:52:38,880 perhaps we're looking at examples of 900 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:41,310 white dwarf disks that have had a 901 00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:44,010 million years to evolve whatever 902 00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:46,650 concrete is really like 903 00:52:53,330 --> 00:52:49,530 certainly opened up the spectrum of 904 00:52:56,030 --> 00:52:53,340 places to be okay so today but like 905 00:52:57,680 --> 00:52:56,040 another person TPF you talked at noon 906 00:53:00,650 --> 00:52:57,690 about the tremendous problems with the 907 00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:00,660 dynamic range you need to see the light 908 00:53:04,370 --> 00:53:02,490 from the planet versus the star right 909 00:53:07,490 --> 00:53:04,380 the white dwarf is a much lower 910 00:53:11,500 --> 00:53:07,500 luminosity object is helpful exactly 911 00:53:15,620 --> 00:53:11,510 that's that should be very helpful so 912 00:53:19,370 --> 00:53:15,630 for example in our survey of white 913 00:53:25,250 --> 00:53:19,380 dwarfs we calculated that we would have 914 00:53:27,830 --> 00:53:25,260 enough dynamic range to see a 3d 915 00:53:29,870 --> 00:53:27,840 jupiter-mass planet around most of our 916 00:53:33,710 --> 00:53:29,880 targets you know how much dynamic range 917 00:53:36,020 --> 00:53:33,720 it took not 10 to the minus 10 not 10 to 918 00:53:39,710 --> 00:53:36,030 the 10 contrast and to the one contrast 919 00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:39,720 and that return was that it what are you 920 00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:44,010 or all we didn't expect to resolve any 921 00:53:51,770 --> 00:53:47,130 of the planetary system so anywhere in 922 00:54:02,560 --> 00:53:51,780 within our Johnny 30 seconds other 923 00:54:09,590 --> 00:54:05,390 will be answered tapped high profile as 924 00:54:12,580 --> 00:54:09,600 you move further toward perfectly pretty 925 00:54:18,230 --> 00:54:12,590 never have work I sure think it could 926 00:54:20,780 --> 00:54:18,240 mean why do we have bought earlier chat 927 00:54:26,660 --> 00:54:20,790 about this book 928 00:54:31,150 --> 00:54:26,670 graduate students yesterday but you can 929 00:54:33,260 --> 00:54:31,160 you should expect the planet to receive 930 00:54:34,910 --> 00:54:33,270 volvo's from house wearing planetary 931 00:54:41,210 --> 00:54:34,920 system like the planet that's what's on 932 00:54:49,029 --> 00:54:41,220 fly around you can easily imagine comets 933 00:54:49,039 --> 00:54:59,900 waiting on too hard 934 00:55:03,210 --> 00:55:01,890 so you're saying the situation is not 935 00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:03,220 too different from silica plants you 936 00:55:06,390 --> 00:55:05,050 you're making it in a place where you 937 00:55:08,700 --> 00:55:06,400 don't have the water initially it's got 938 00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:08,710 to get delivered to some other kind of 939 00:55:15,090 --> 00:55:11,650 process right in the soldiers but the 940 00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:15,100 difference is of course the hats on the 941 00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:17,410 carbon plan you have this vast reservoir 942 00:55:25,830 --> 00:55:23,170 of organics you never have to you're 943 00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:25,840 never short of gasoline tank on the 944 00:55:35,700 --> 00:55:32,650 earth we fight wars over petroleum 945 00:55:40,859 --> 00:55:35,710 products carbon planet like little fight 946 00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:40,869 wars over oxidizers not reducers right 947 00:55:44,730 --> 00:55:43,330 they all fight wars over water okay in 948 00:55:48,090 --> 00:55:44,740 India they fight about water all time 949 00:55:49,830 --> 00:55:48,100 but right so maybe that's not too 950 00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:49,840 digging for work but anyway they will 951 00:55:54,810 --> 00:55:51,850 never fight over gassing you okay come 952 00:55:58,260 --> 00:55:54,820 on a car that's only gonna fight over 953 00:55:59,970 --> 00:55:58,270 silicon carbide revolutio politics 954 00:56:07,200 --> 00:55:59,980 introduction electoral politics we 955 00:56:09,900 --> 00:56:07,210 better not go there in four yes sir your 956 00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:09,910 plot of the oh I think it was the mass 957 00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:14,650 versus the radius versus mask I've got a 958 00:56:18,900 --> 00:56:15,970 spread of lines for different 959 00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:18,910 compositions except for carbon seem to 960 00:56:25,620 --> 00:56:21,010 get much more constrained 961 00:56:30,630 --> 00:56:25,630 I page back here for that was the main 962 00:56:31,650 --> 00:56:30,640 mass versus radius yeah lot but this one 963 00:56:35,310 --> 00:56:31,660 oh I didn't tell you all the details 964 00:56:38,270 --> 00:56:35,320 right I I focused on the the pure 965 00:56:42,060 --> 00:56:38,280 planets right so solid lines are pure 966 00:56:46,500 --> 00:56:42,070 planets that hatch lines are planets 967 00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:46,510 that have mixtures of for example water 968 00:56:56,700 --> 00:56:50,890 and iron imagine having an iron core to 969 00:57:02,400 --> 00:56:56,710 whatever you like don't question from 970 00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:02,410 Ames oh hi Ames hi Dave Dima right here 971 00:57:06,930 --> 00:57:04,450 I had a question about the thermal 972 00:57:08,670 --> 00:57:06,940 evolution of planets you know for 973 00:57:11,940 --> 00:57:08,680 example if you had a carbon-rich planet 974 00:57:14,250 --> 00:57:11,950 with a silicon carbide mantle well one 975 00:57:15,450 --> 00:57:14,260 one question is the radioactive elements 976 00:57:17,310 --> 00:57:15,460 which are so important for determining 977 00:57:18,870 --> 00:57:17,320 the thermal structure of silicate 978 00:57:20,790 --> 00:57:18,880 planets what do you think would be the 979 00:57:22,620 --> 00:57:20,800 situation in a carbon-rich planet and 980 00:57:24,510 --> 00:57:22,630 then a related question of course is 981 00:57:26,370 --> 00:57:24,520 that liquid and solid phases in the 982 00:57:28,170 --> 00:57:26,380 planet have a lot to do with plate 983 00:57:30,030 --> 00:57:28,180 tectonics which of course would affect 984 00:57:31,530 --> 00:57:30,040 the heat flow to the surface so even in 985 00:57:33,540 --> 00:57:31,540 the early phase of a planet's history 986 00:57:35,820 --> 00:57:33,550 when you're accreting you gotta chrétien 987 00:57:37,350 --> 00:57:35,830 airy heat how does that get out of one 988 00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:37,360 of your carbon rich planets if you guys 989 00:57:47,070 --> 00:57:39,010 thought at all about the thermal 990 00:57:49,230 --> 00:57:47,080 consequences of the models thanks to 991 00:57:52,950 --> 00:57:49,240 first order we have purposefully ignored 992 00:57:55,500 --> 00:57:52,960 that right so we have purposefully 993 00:57:57,330 --> 00:57:55,510 simplified as much as we could in order 994 00:58:00,870 --> 00:57:57,340 to explore the range of possibilities 995 00:58:02,940 --> 00:58:00,880 and find analytic solutions to the 996 00:58:06,930 --> 00:58:02,950 equations that will tell us the range of 997 00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:06,940 answers right so our philosophy to start 998 00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:09,850 out with but simplify to the point where 999 00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:14,050 we understand okay then 1000 00:58:17,460 --> 00:58:16,210 yes of course we thought about all these 1001 00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:17,470 other kinds of fun things I was just 1002 00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:21,490 having a nice conversation with Roger 1003 00:58:34,010 --> 00:58:30,600 possibilities for for example radiogenic 1004 00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:34,020 sorry radioactive heating of the planets 1005 00:58:46,380 --> 00:58:42,690 radioactive heat sources though I tend 1006 00:58:48,870 --> 00:58:46,390 to I tend to you have to stop and say 1007 00:58:51,300 --> 00:58:48,880 well is that really related to the 1008 00:58:53,700 --> 00:58:51,310 carbon planet NIST of the body right I 1009 00:58:55,500 --> 00:58:53,710 mean we're not living on the uranium 1010 00:58:58,590 --> 00:58:55,510 planet it's a small amount of uranium 1011 00:59:00,500 --> 00:58:58,600 that's doing the job so that's really 1012 00:59:03,270 --> 00:59:00,510 sort of a higher order question 1013 00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:03,280 compositionally it's a very important 1014 00:59:11,070 --> 00:59:06,250 question thoroughly but it's really not 1015 00:59:12,780 --> 00:59:11,080 a competition for the composition so you 1016 00:59:16,500 --> 00:59:12,790 can imagine a lot a wide range of 1017 00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:16,510 possibilities that are secondary to the 1018 00:59:20,580 --> 00:59:18,970 to the observational indicators that 1019 00:59:22,260 --> 00:59:20,590 we're trying to model like the mass 1020 00:59:24,420 --> 00:59:22,270 radiance relationship and the spectra 1021 00:59:28,110 --> 00:59:24,430 right what if the planet was right next 1022 00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:28,120 to a a giant star the one supernova and 1023 00:59:33,750 --> 00:59:31,810 dumped iron 60 all over it okay that 1024 00:59:35,610 --> 00:59:33,760 could happen to a carbon planet as well 1025 00:59:37,170 --> 00:59:35,620 as it could happen a carbon planet 1026 00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:37,180 system as well can have as it could 1027 00:59:43,620 --> 00:59:42,130 happen to to that was only one of your 1028 00:59:46,590 --> 00:59:43,630 questions the SEC the first one was 1029 00:59:52,170 --> 00:59:46,600 laser tonics Oh plate tectonics yeah 1030 00:59:55,620 --> 00:59:52,180 yeah oh just this is exactly what Roger 1031 00:59:59,910 --> 00:59:55,630 longer Talia but earlier have plate 1032 01:00:04,290 --> 00:59:59,920 tectonics pond a carbon planet I don't 1033 01:00:08,060 --> 01:00:04,300 know carbon as you know the place 1034 01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:08,070 etonics require some lubrication right 1035 01:00:13,230 --> 01:00:11,410 there could be water available to 1036 01:00:16,860 --> 01:00:13,240 provide the lubricant maybe you can 1037 01:00:21,590 --> 01:00:16,870 lubricate the plate tectonics with no 1038 01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:21,600 butter Crisco some other carbon 1039 01:00:28,290 --> 01:00:25,570 carbon compound I would expect that the 1040 01:00:33,330 --> 01:00:28,300 surface of a of a carbon planet would be 1041 01:00:40,140 --> 01:00:33,340 a little bit would be full of all kinds 1042 01:00:43,710 --> 01:00:40,150 of organics right you might expect the 1043 01:00:49,740 --> 01:00:43,720 smog the atmosphere a surface covered 1044 01:00:54,270 --> 01:00:49,750 with car sort of like Los Angeles police 1045 01:00:57,930 --> 01:00:54,280 come Brea Tar Pits Richard how you need 1046 01:00:59,610 --> 01:00:57,940 is your 7.3 Mike on feature for so and 1047 01:01:01,590 --> 01:00:59,620 is it related of the few center 1048 01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:01,600 celebrates what's the evidence for the 1049 01:01:10,260 --> 01:01:06,130 viticulture ah that's good there are a 1050 01:01:14,790 --> 01:01:10,270 variety of pH features that have been 1051 01:01:19,039 --> 01:01:14,800 detected next fiscal sources besides the 1052 01:01:24,029 --> 01:01:21,359 each is it there are lots of other 1053 01:01:28,609 --> 01:01:24,039 different features so people are have 1054 01:01:34,559 --> 01:01:28,619 seen you know spectacular PAH spectra 1055 01:01:37,020 --> 01:01:34,569 from the thermal than 3,000 far but you 1056 01:01:38,220 --> 01:01:37,030 only have one future spits irregular yes 1057 01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:38,230 those are getting really operate in the 1058 01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:41,250 firebreak but oh but Spencer has seen 1059 01:01:51,299 --> 01:01:45,970 other weaker features in t-tauri stars 1060 01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:51,309 perfect movie stars from 5 micron top 20 1061 01:01:56,849 --> 01:01:54,690 casino is we're not hanging on one 1062 01:01:59,670 --> 01:01:56,859 special on that's what you know that's 1063 01:02:03,289 --> 01:01:59,680 what kind of look like in this mass 1064 01:02:06,510 --> 01:02:03,299 radius diagram raised country 1065 01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:06,520 implemented oh good I didn't explain 1066 01:02:10,559 --> 01:02:08,650 that very well if you see a transiting 1067 01:02:13,020 --> 01:02:10,569 planet you know a couple of things you 1068 01:02:18,059 --> 01:02:13,030 know how deep transit is right tell you 1069 01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:18,069 will the cross-section stuff and you 1070 01:02:25,380 --> 01:02:22,450 also know true asian you know how the 1071 01:02:27,210 --> 01:02:25,390 duration compares to the duration of the 1072 01:02:29,130 --> 01:02:27,220 orbit right so you have the frequency 1073 01:02:32,549 --> 01:02:29,140 and you know that the trend that the 1074 01:02:35,730 --> 01:02:32,559 transit lasted for one percent of the 1075 01:02:39,329 --> 01:02:35,740 orbit that'd be a pretty long but you 1076 01:02:43,589 --> 01:02:39,339 see that's that's the other observable 1077 01:02:50,009 --> 01:02:48,180 I still have necessary what should you 1078 01:02:52,529 --> 01:02:50,019 need you mean you need the mass of the 1079 01:02:54,660 --> 01:02:52,539 star which is currently the major source 1080 01:03:00,779 --> 01:02:54,670 of uncertainty in these mats 1081 01:03:02,670 --> 01:03:00,789 observations it's common that it's there 1082 01:03:08,309 --> 01:03:02,680 are surprisingly few stars that we have 1083 01:03:11,279 --> 01:03:08,319 very inaccurate masses right so but if 1084 01:03:16,039 --> 01:03:11,289 you know possibly the masculine star and 1085 01:03:20,249 --> 01:03:16,049 you know Kepler's third law you know the 1086 01:03:22,469 --> 01:03:20,259 timing of the of the duration of the 1087 01:03:24,450 --> 01:03:22,479 transit a period of the orbit that we 1088 01:03:26,309 --> 01:03:24,460 could infer the message this is the mass 1089 01:03:33,589 --> 01:03:26,319 of the planner the preg that equation at 1090 01:03:40,740 --> 01:03:38,460 but more but more importantly the reflex 1091 01:03:42,870 --> 01:03:40,750 motion of the star that you know from 1092 01:03:44,579 --> 01:03:42,880 great velocity measurements tells you 1093 01:03:52,500 --> 01:03:44,589 the mass ratio so you know some of the
