Homogeneous model for the TRAPPIST-1e planet with an icy layer [EPA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2103.04806


In this work we investigate whether a multi-layered planet can be approximated as a homogeneous planet. The answer is positive for bodies with an icy crust if we employ the so-called Sundberg-Cooper rheology to model the homogeneous body. Our results compare well with recent results employing a multi-layered model for the TRAPPIST-1e planet.
