Coupled thermal-chemical models indicate that sub-Neptunes formed outside the water-ice line exhibit high atmospheric CH4, H2O, and C/O ratios while those formed inside show suppressed CH4 and low C/O.
An open-source GCE code with a 100x faster solver demonstrates that refractory ratios Mg/Si and Fe/Si control carbon partitioning and atmospheric properties in water-accreting sub-Neptunes.
Magma ocean equilibration depletes atmospheric nitrogen and shifts C/O ratios in sub-Neptune atmospheres, making C/O, SiH4, and H2O potential tracers of formation location.
