Determination of fundamental properties of volatile components in silicate liquids

摘要

The focus of this project was the determination of fundamental properties of volatile components in silicate liquids in order to provide data for evaluating hypotheses about the role of early magma oceans in the origin and evolution of atmospheres on the terrestrial planets. The Exobiology Program provided one year funding that allowed this project to get going; it is now supported by the Origins of Solar Systems Program.
