Subject: 55 Cancri C/O ratio 25th September 2013, 6:15 pm
Teske et al. "Carbon and Oxygen Abundances in Cool Metal-rich Exoplanet Hosts: A Case Study of the C/O Ratio of 55 Cancri" http://arxiv.org/abs/1309.6032
The C/O ratio appears to be lower than previously believed, close to the critical value above which the disc is expected to produce carbon-rich planetesimals.
