Most High-density Exoplanets Are Unlikely to Be Remnant Giant Planet's Cores
The Astrophysical Journal LettersSome exoplanets have much higher densities than expected from stellar abundances of planet-forming elements. There are two theories—metal-rich formation hypothesis and naked core hypothesis—that explain how formation and evolution can alter the ...

Formation of Ultra-short-period Planets in Hot Jupiter Systems: Application to WASP-47
The Astrophysical Journal LettersThe WASP-47 system is notable as the first known system hosting both inner and outer low-mass planetary companions around a hot Jupiter, with an ultra-short-period (USP) planet as the innermost planetary companion.

Quantifying External Energy Inputs for Giant Planet Magnetospheres
Geophysical Research LettersThe long‐standing “energy crisis” at the giant planets refers to the anomalous heating of planetary thermospheres compared to the available energy from solar irradiance. The coupling between planetary magnetospheres and their upper atmospheres is thought

Overcoming migration during giant planet formation
, 2007 In the core accretion model, gas giant formation is a race between growth and migration; for a core to become a jovian planet, it must accrete its envelope before it spirals into the host star.

APPLE: An Evolution Code for Modeling Giant Planets
The Astrophysical JournalWe introduce APPLE , a novel planetary evolution code designed specifically for the study of giant exoplanet and Jovian planet evolution in the era of Galileo, Juno, and Cassini. With APPLE , state-of-the-art equations of state for hydrogen, helium, ice,
