Ariel will mark the dawn of a new era as the first large-scale surveycharacterising exoplanetary atmospheres with science objectives to addressfundamental questions about planetary composition, evolution and formation. Inthis study, we explore the detectability of atmospheres vaporised from magmaoceans on dry, rocky Super-Earths orbiting very close to their host stars. Thedetection of such atmospheres would provide a definitive piece of evidence forrocky planets but are challenging measurements with currently availableinstruments due to their small spectral signatures. However, some of thehottest planets are believed to have atmospheres composed of vaporised rock,such as Na and SiO, with spectral signatures bright enough to be detectedthrough eclipse observations with planned space-based telescopes. In thisstudy, we find that rocky super-Earths with a irradiation temperature of 3000 Kand a distance from Earth of up to 20 pc, as well as planets hotter than 3500 Kand closer than 50 pc, have SiO features which are potentially detectable ineclipse spectra observed with Ariel.
