Probing the Interiors of Very Hot Jupiters Using Transit Light Curves [PDF]

, 2009
Accurately understanding the interior structure of extra-solar planets is critical for inferring their formation and evolution. The internal density distribution of a planet has a direct effect on the star-planet orbit through the gravitational ...

Constraining the Venus Interior Structure with Future VERITAS Measurements of the Gravitational Atmospheric Loading

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023
The complex dynamics of the Venus atmosphere produces a periodic mass redistribution pattern that creates a time-variable modulation of the gravity field of Venus.

Highlight Advances in Planetary Physics in the Solar System: In Situ Detection Over the Past 20 Years

Space: Science & Technology, 2023
Planetary science is the science of studying planets, moons, and planetary systems. The scale of the research objects ranges from small meteoroids to large gas giant planets, and the research purpose is to determine their composition, dynamics, formation,

On the Terminal Rotation Rates of Giant Planets [PDF]

, 2018
Within the general framework of core-nucleated accretion theory of giant planet formation, the conglomeration of massive gaseous envelopes is facilitated by a transient period of rapid accumulation of nebular material.

Constraining the volatile fraction of planets from transit observations [PDF]

, 2016
The determination of the abundance of volatiles in extrasolar planets is very important as it can provide constraints on transport in protoplanetary disks and on the formation location of planets.

The habitability of stagnant-lid Earths around dwarf stars [PDF]

, 2018
The habitability of a planet depends on various factors, such as delivery of water during the formation, the co-evolution of the interior and the atmosphere, as well as the stellar irradiation which changes in time.

Salt Distribution from Freezing Intrusions in Ice Shells on Ocean Worlds: Application to Europa

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023
Several icy moons and dwarf planets appear to have hosted subsurface liquid water. Liquid water intruding upwards into the icy outer shells of these worlds freezes, forming ice and (from ocean solutes) non-ice solids.
