Formation of Giant Planet Satellites [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2020 Abstract Recent analyses have shown that the concluding stages of giant planet formation are accompanied by the development of a large-scale meridional flow of gas inside the planetary Hill sphere. This circulation feeds a circumplanetary disk that viscously expels gaseous material back into the parent nebula, maintaining the system in a

Saturn's Rings as a Seismograph to Probe Saturn's Internal Structure
AGU Advances, 2020 As it has already done for Earth, the Sun, and the stars, seismology has the potential to radically change the way the interiors of giant planets are studied.

Breaking Degeneracies in Formation Histories by Measuring Refractory Content in Gas Giants
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Relating planet formation to atmospheric composition has been a long-standing goal of the planetary science community. So far, most modeling studies have focused on predicting the enrichment of heavy elements and the C/O ratio in giant planet atmospheres.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Thanks to “dust-to-planet” simulations (DTPSs), which treat the collisional evolution directly from dust to giant-planet cores in a protoplanetary disk, we showed that giant-planet cores are formed in ≲10 au in several 10 ^5 yr, because porous pebbles ...

Takeout and Delivery: Erasing the Dusty Signature of Late-stage Terrestrial Planet Formation
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The formation of planets like Earth is expected to conclude with a series of late-stage giant impacts that generate warm dusty debris, the most anticipated visible signpost of terrestrial planet formation in progress.

Giant planets seismology [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1997 The giant planets Jupiter and Saturn belong to the interesting category of possible goals for remote seismic analysis. Their first seismic observations and their analysis were attempted in 1987 and 1991 respectively, under Philippe Delache's initiative.

Giant Planet Lightning in Nonideal Gases
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Lightning has been directly observed or inferred on all giant planets, generally accepted to be occurring in their water clouds. However, much as Earth has both cloud–cloud and cloud–ground lightning, this does not mean all flashes occur in a narrow ...
