Could CoRoT-7b and Kepler-10b be remnants of evaporated gas or ice giants?
{{output}}
We present thermal mass loss calculations over evolutionary time scales for the investigation if the smallest transiting rocky exoplanets CoRoT-7b (∼1.68REarth) and Kepler-10b (∼1.416REarth) could be remnants of an initially more massive hydrogen-rich gas gi... ...
