Formation of Giant Planets by Gas Disk Gravitational Instability on Wide Orbits around Protostars with Varied Masses. II. Quadrupled Spatial Resolution and Beta Cooling

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Exoplanet demographics are sufficiently advanced to provide important constraints on theories of planet formation. While core and pebble accretion are preferred for rocky and icy planets, there appears to be a need for gas disk gravitational instability (

Searching for GEMS: TOI-5688 A b, a Low-density Giant Orbiting a High-metallicity Early M-dwarf

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We present the discovery of a low-density planet orbiting the high-metallicity early M-dwarf TOI-5688 A b. This planet was characterized as part of the search for transiting giant planets ( R  ≳ 8 R _⊕ ) through the Searching for Giant Exoplanets around ...

Searching for GEMS: Characterizing Six Giant Planets Around Cool Dwarfs

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Transiting giant exoplanets around M-dwarf stars (GEMS) are rare, owing to the low-mass host stars. However, the all-sky coverage of TESS has enabled the detection of an increasingly large number of them to enable statistical surveys like the Searching ...

Giant Outer Transiting Exoplanet Mass (GOT ‘EM) Survey. V. Two Giant Planets in Kepler-511 but Only One Ran Away

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Systems hosting multiple giant planets are important laboratories for understanding planetary formation and migration processes. We present a nearly decade-long Doppler spectroscopy campaign from the HIRES instrument on the Keck-I telescope to ...

Planet Migration in Protoplanetary Disks with Rims

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Complex structures, including sharp edges, rings, and gaps, have been commonly observed in protoplanetary disks with or without planetary candidates. Here we consider the possibility that they are the intrinsic consequences of angular momentum transfer ...

Gas Giants Formed by Gravitational Instability May Accrete Atmospheres with Superstellar Carbon-to-oxygen Ratios

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Characterizing the atmospheric compositions of exoplanets, along with determining properties such as their mass, mean density, and orbital configuration, are thought to be an effective means for differentiating between various formation and evolution ...
