Dynamic compression and time-resolved XRD (planetary ices)

Spacecraft missions during the last years have documented many planets outside our solar system (exoplanets). In particular, the increasing number of discovered candidate exoplanets with sizes in between Earth and the solar ice giant planets is stunning and requires extra attention since they are la
