Formation of Giant Planet Satellites [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2020 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.

On the Radii of Close-in Giant Planets [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2000 The recent discovery that the close-in extrasolar giant planet, HD209458b, transits its star has provided a first-of-its-kind measurement of the planet's radius and mass.

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2011 It has been shown that an Earth-size planet or a super-Earth, in resonance with a transiting Jupiter-like body around an M star, can create detectable TTV signals (Kirste & Haghighipour, 2011).

Survival of habitable planets in unstable planetary systems [PDF]
, 2016 Many observed giant planets lie on eccentric orbits. Such orbits could be the result of strong scatterings with other giant planets. The same dynamical instability that produces these scatterings may also cause habitable planets in interior orbits to become ejected, destroyed, or be transported out of the habitable zone.

Effects of Dynamical Evolution of Giant Planets on Survival of Terrestrial Planets [PDF]
, 2012 The orbital distributions of currently observed extrasolar giant planets allow marginally stable orbits for hypothetical, terrestrial planets. In this paper, we propose that many of these systems may not have additional planets on these "stable" orbits, since past dynamical instability among giant planets could have removed them.

Interior and Evolution of the Giant Planets
Remote Sensing, 2023 The giant planets were the first to form and hold the key to unveiling the solar system’s formation history in their interiors and atmospheres.

Giant planet effects on terrestrial planet formation and system architecture [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 The giant planets of the solar system likely played a large role in shaping the architecture of the terrestrial planets. Using an updated collision model, we conduct a suite of high resolution N-body integrations to probe the relationship between giant planet mass, and terrestrial planet formation and system architecture.

The Fragility of the Terrestrial Planets During a Giant Planet Instability [PDF]
, 2015 Many features of the outer solar system are replicated in numerical simulations if the giant planets undergo an orbital instability that ejects one or more ice giants. During this instability, Jupiter and Saturn's orbits diverge, crossing their 2:1 mean motion resonance (MMR), and this resonance-crossing can excite the terrestrial planet orbits.

Direct imaging and astrometric detection of a gas giant planet orbiting an accelerating star [PDF]
Science, 2022 Direct imaging of gas giant exoplanets provides information on their atmospheres and the architectures of planetary systems. However, few planets have been detected in blind surveys with direct imaging.

A Transiting Warm Giant Planet around the Young Active Star TOI-201 [PDF]
Astronomical Journal, 2021 We present the confirmation of the eccentric warm giant planet TOI-201 b, first identified as a candidate in Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite photometry (Sectors 1–8, 10–13, and 27–28) and confirmed using ground-based photometry from Next Generation
