Jupiter Evolutionary Models Incorporating Stably Stratified Regions
The Astrophysical JournalWe address the issue of which broad set of initial conditions for the planet Jupiter best matches the current presence of a “fuzzy core” of heavy elements, while at the same time comporting with measured parameters such as its effective temperature ...

, 2014 A space based coronagraph, whether as part of the WFIRST/AFTA mission or on a dedicated space telescope such as Exo-C or -S, will be able to obtain photometry and spectra of multiple gas giant planets around nearby stars, including many known from radial

The Planetary Science JournalIn this paper, the formation of Saturn is modeled by detailed numerical simulations according to the core-nucleated accretion scenario. Previous models are enhanced to include the dissolution of accreting planetesimals, composed of water ice, rock, and ...

Formation of terrestrial planets in eccentric and inclined giant-planet systems
, 2016 International audienceThe orbits of extrasolar planets are more various than the circular and coplanar ones of the Solar system. We study the impact of inclined and eccentric massive giant planets on the terrestrial planet formation process. The physical

Searching for gas giant planets on Solar system scales - a NACO/APP L′-band survey of A- and F-type main-sequence stars [PDF]
, 2017 We report the results of a direct imaging survey of A- and F-type main-sequence stars searching for giant planets. A/F stars are often the targets of surveys, as they are thought to have more massive giant planets relative to solar-type stars.

Hydrodynamical modelling of tidal dissipation in gas giant planets at the time of space missions
, 2023 Gas giant planets are differentially rotating magnetic objects that have strong and complex interactions with their environment. In our Solar system, they interact with their numerous moons while exoplanets with very short orbital periods (hot Jupiters),

Heavy element enrichment of the gas giant planets
, 2008 According to both spectroscopic measurements and interior models, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune possess gaseous envelopes that are enriched in heavy elements compared to the Sun.

, 2016 Rocks are not just an Earthly phenomenon. They make up the surfaces of some of the planets of the solar system and, in one form or another, those all of the many moons, innumerable comets, and other small objects that orbit out to great distances from ...
