Abstract
With the ongoing Kepler's mission, more and more Earth-sized and SuperEarth-sized planets are being discovered. For the past few years, we have developed an online interactive tool to fast characterize the interior structure of exoplanets with mass and radius measurements. These interior structure models are based on the new Equations of State (EOS) of Fe, MgSiO3, H2O, etc. The effect of Fe partioning between the core and the mantle will also be discussed.
