The California Legacy Survey. IV. Lonely, Poor, and Eccentric: A Comparison between Solitary and Neighborly Gas Giants [PDF]

open access: greenThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
We compare systems with single giant planets to systems with multiple giant planets using a catalog of planets from a high-precision radial velocity survey of FGKM stars.

Separating gas-giant and ice-giant planets by halting pebble accretion [PDF]

open access: bronze, 2014
In the Solar System giant planets come in two flavours: 'gas giants' (Jupiter and Saturn) with massive gas envelopes and 'ice giants' (Uranus and Neptune) with much thinner envelopes around their cores.

Formation and distribution of “continuous” gas reservoirs nd their giant gas province: A case from the Upper riassic Xujiahe Formation giant gas province, Sichuan Basin

open access: diamondPetroleum Exploration and Development, 2009
The comprehensive analysis of geological setting, accumulation condition, trapping mechanism and distribution regularity of oil-gas of the Upper Triassic in Sichuan Basin reveals that the gas accumulation in Xujiahe Formation is a layered lithologic ...

On the Formation of Gas Giant Planets on Wide Orbits [PDF]

open access: green, 2006
A new suite of three dimensional radiative, gravitational hydrodynamical models is used to show that gas giant planets are unlikely to form by the disk instability mechanism at distances of ~100 AU to ~200 AU from young stars.

Tidally Heated Exomoons around Gas Giants [PDF]

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2021
Abstract Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered; however, the detection of exomoons remains elusive. Tidally heated exomoons have been proposed as candidate targets for observation; vigorous tidal dissipation can raise the moon’s surface temperature, making direct imaging possible, and cause widespread volcanism that can have a ...

What Can Meteorites Tell Us About the Formation of Jupiter?

open access: yesAGU Advances, 2021
Gas giants like Jupiter are a fundamental component of planetary systems, but how they formed has been uncertain. Here we discuss how paleomagnetic records in meteorites of the solar nebula may tell us about Jupiter's final growth stage.

Forming Gas Giants around a Range of Protostellar M-dwarfs by Gas Disk Gravitational Instability

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Recent discoveries of gas giant exoplanets around M-dwarfs from transiting and radial velocity surveys are difficult to explain with core-accretion models. We present here a homogeneous suite of 162 models of gravitationally unstable gaseous disks. These

Connotations of scientific development of giant gas fields in China

open access: yesNatural Gas Industry B, 2020
A giant gas field refers to a gas field with proved geological reserves of natural gas more than 30 billion cubic meters, peak annual output of natural gas more than 1 billion cubic meters, and a certain plateau period.
