Interiors of Terrestrial Planets in Metric-Affine Gravity

Using a semiempirical approach, we show that modified gravity affects the internal properties of terrestrial planets, such as their physical characteristics of a core, mantle, and core-mantle boundary. We also apply these findings for modeling a two-layer exoplanet in Palatini f(R) gravity.

Automated summary

Using a semiempirical approach, this study demonstrates that modified gravity has an impact on the internal properties of terrestrial planets, including their core, mantle, and core-mantle boundary. These findings are also applied to modeling a two-layer exoplanet under Palatini f(R) gravity.
