Geodynamics of Super‐Earth GJ 486b
Many super‐Earths are on very short orbits around their host star and, therefore, more likely to be tidally locked. Because this locking can lead to a...

Jiacheng Tian, Paul J. Tackley, Tim Elliott
The short-lived isotope systems 182Hf-182W (half-life = 8.9 Myr) and 146Sm-142Nd (half-life = 103 Myr) provide valuable insights into Earth's early di...
